Abstract

Previous studies have shown that short-form video addiction (SVA) is a significant predictor of adolescent depression. However, little is known about the mediating mechanisms. Guided by the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution model, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between SVA and depression among Chinese adolescents and to examine the mediating role of attentional bias toward positive information (API) and negative information (ANI), including potential gender differences. A total of 4750 Chinese adolescents (M_age = 16.01, SD = 0.76, 62.15 percent male) completed self-reported scales for SVA, API, ANI, and depression. The structural equation modeling results indicated that both API and ANI mediated the relationship between SVA and depression. Moreover, multigroup analyses revealed that the mediating effect of ANI was significantly stronger in female than in male adolescents. These findings enhance our understanding of the relationship between SVA and depression in adolescents and suggest that developing gender-specific interventions could mitigate the detrimental effects of SVA on depression.

短视频成瘾与青少年抑郁关系的性别差异：注意偏见的中介作用。

先前的研究表明，短视频成瘾（SVA）是青少年抑郁的重要预测因子。然而，对其介导机制知之甚少。本研究以“人-情感-认知-执行”互动模型为指导，探讨中国青少年心理行为倾向与抑郁的关系，并探讨积极信息注意偏向和消极信息注意偏向的中介作用，包括潜在的性别差异。共有4750名中国青少年（Mage = 16.01, SD = 0.76, 62.15%为男性）完成了SVA、API、ANI和抑郁的自我报告量表。结构方程建模结果表明，API和ANI都介导了SVA与抑郁之间的关系。此外，多组分析显示，ANI在女性青少年中的中介作用显著强于男性青少年。这些发现增强了我们对青少年性行为干预与抑郁之间关系的理解，并表明制定针对性别样的干预措施可以减轻性行为干预对抑郁的有害影响。

For over two decades, this journal has been a pioneering voice in the exploration of social networking and virtual reality, establishing itself as an indispensable resource for professionals and academics in the field. It is particularly celebrated for its swift dissemination of findings through rapid communication articles, alongside comprehensive, in-depth studies that delve into the multifaceted effects of interactive technologies on both individual behavior and broader societal trends. The journal's scope encompasses the full spectrum of impacts—highlighting not only the potential benefits but also the challenges that arise as a result of these technologies. By providing a platform for rigorous research and critical discussions, it fosters a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between technology and human behavior.
