Abstract

Background: Short video addiction (SVA) among college students is influenced by personality traits, namely, neuroticism and agreeableness. However, the role of depression and anxiety as mediators remains unclear.

Objective: This study aims to explore the mediating role of comorbid depression and anxiety in the relationship between different dimensions of university students' personalities and SVA.

Methods: The SPSS PROCESS was utilized to analyze data from 804 university students across seven universities in China.

Results: The findings show that neuroticism, agreeableness, and extraversion in the personalities of Chinese university students are all significantly linked to SVA; neuroticism and agreeableness in the personalities of university students have a greater impact on SVA; both neuroticism and agreeableness can first induce depression and then lead to anxiety and SVA, whereas only agreeableness can first lead to anxiety and then result in depression and SVA.

Conclusion: This study uncovers the intricate relationship between personality traits and SVA among college students, emphasizing depression and anxiety as critical chain mediators in this relationship. It reveals that neuroticism and agreeableness significantly influence SVA through specific pathways involving depression and anxiety, indicating that interventions targeting these traits are essential.

大学生人格与短视频成瘾之间的关系以抑郁和焦虑为中介。

研究背景大学生的短视频成瘾（SVA）受人格特质（即神经质和合群性）的影响。然而，抑郁和焦虑的中介作用仍不明确：本研究旨在探讨合并抑郁和焦虑在大学生不同人格维度与 SVA 关系中的中介作用：方法：采用 SPSS PROCESS 软件分析中国 7 所高校 804 名大学生的数据：结果表明：中国大学生人格中的神经质、宜人性和外向性都与SVA有显著联系；大学生人格中的神经质和宜人性对SVA的影响更大；神经质和宜人性都可以先诱发抑郁，然后导致焦虑和SVA，而只有宜人性可以先导致焦虑，然后导致抑郁和SVA：本研究揭示了大学生人格特质与 SVA 之间错综复杂的关系，强调抑郁和焦虑是这一关系的关键连锁中介。它揭示了神经质和宜人性通过涉及抑郁和焦虑的特定途径对 SVA 产生重大影响，表明针对这些特质的干预措施至关重要。
