Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of online and offline social sensitivity in the association between online vigilance and mental health outcomes-specifically depression, anxiety, and stress-among Algerian female university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 438 Algerian female university students. Validated scales were utilized to measure online vigilance, social sensitivity (both online and offline), and psychological distress. Data was analyzed using correlation and mediation analyses to explore the relationships among these variables and to assess the mediating effect of social sensitivity. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between online vigilance, social sensitivity, and mental health problems. Online and offline social sensitivity fully mediated the influence of online vigilance on stress, anxiety, and depression. This suggests that higher engagement in online vigilance increases social sensitivity, which in turn heightens vulnerability to psychological distress. This study contributes to the understanding of the complex interplay between digital behaviors, social perceptions, and mental health among Algerian female university students. By highlighting the mediating role of social sensitivity, the research underscores the necessity for interventions that address online habits and enhance social coping skills to improve mental well-being in this population.

阿尔及利亚女大学生网络警惕性与抑郁、焦虑、压力之间的中介效应：线上与线下社会敏感性

本研究的目的是探讨在线和离线社会敏感性在阿尔及利亚女大学生网络警惕性与心理健康结果（特别是抑郁、焦虑和压力）之间的关联中的中介作用。对438名阿尔及利亚女大学生进行了横断面研究。使用有效的量表来测量在线警惕性，社会敏感性（在线和离线）和心理困扰。采用相关分析和中介分析对数据进行分析，探讨各变量之间的关系，并评估社会敏感性的中介作用。研究结果表明，在线警惕性、社会敏感性和心理健康问题之间存在显著的正相关关系。线上和线下社会敏感性完全介导线上警觉性对压力、焦虑和抑郁的影响。这表明，在网络上保持更高的警惕性会提高社会敏感度，这反过来又会增加心理困扰的脆弱性。本研究有助于了解阿尔及利亚女大学生的数字行为、社会认知和心理健康之间的复杂相互作用。通过强调社会敏感性的中介作用，该研究强调了解决上网习惯和提高社会应对技能的干预措施的必要性，以改善这一人群的心理健康。
