Abstract

ABSTRACT During COVID-19, there has been an unprecedented rise of videoconferencing use, primarily through Zoom. This increasingly popularity of Zoom has led to growing debates about its negative health impacts. In particular, ‘Zoom fatigue’ is a rapidly popularizing phenomena that describes the mental exhaustion or burnout arising from Zoom use. However, the specific mechanisms through which Zoom leads to Zoom fatigue are not well understood. To fill this gap, this study tested a mediated model linking Zoom use with the camera on (‘ZUC’) to Zoom fatigue, through the mediator of social interaction anxiety on Zoom, with a survey sample from the United Kingdom. It was also posited that self-monitoring positively moderated the effects of ZUC on social interaction anxiety on Zoom. The results demonstrated that the direct effects of ZUC on Zoom fatigue was significant and positive. The paper also showed that social interaction anxiety on Zoom increased Zoom fatigue. However, ZUC failed to indirectly increase Zoom fatigue due to the insignificant effects of ZUC on social interaction anxiety on Zoom. Self-monitoring also did not moderate the insignificant relationship between ZUC and social interaction anxiety on Zoom. These insights can guide conceptual frameworks for future research exploring the social psychological impacts of digital media on health.

开着相机使用Zoom与Zoom疲劳之间的关系：考虑自我监控和社交焦虑

摘要在新冠肺炎期间，视频会议的使用出现了前所未有的增长，主要是通过Zoom。Zoom越来越受欢迎，这引发了关于其负面健康影响的越来越多的争论。特别是，“Zoom疲劳”是一种迅速流行的现象，描述了使用Zoom引起的精神疲惫或倦怠。然而，Zoom导致Zoom疲劳的具体机制尚不清楚。为了填补这一空白，本研究测试了一个中介模型，该模型通过Zoom上社交焦虑的中介，将Zoom使用相机（“ZUC”）与Zoom疲劳联系起来，并使用了一个来自英国的调查样本。研究还认为，自我监控积极调节ZUC对Zoom社交焦虑的影响。结果表明，ZUC对Zoom疲劳的直接影响是显著和积极的。论文还表明，Zoom上的社交焦虑会增加Zoom疲劳。然而，由于ZUC对Zoom社交焦虑的影响不显著，ZUC未能间接增加Zoom疲劳。自我监控也没有缓和ZUC与Zoom社交焦虑之间的不显著关系。这些见解可以指导未来研究数字媒体对健康的社会心理影响的概念框架。

期刊介绍： Drawing together the most current work upon the social, economic, and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the new information and communications technologies, this journal positions itself at the centre of contemporary debates about the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs), asking such questions as: -What are the new and evolving forms of social software? What direction will these forms take? -ICTs facilitating globalization and how might this affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences, and regional sub-cultures? -Are ICTs leading to an age of electronic surveillance and social control? What are the implications for policing criminal activity, citizen privacy and public expression? -How are ICTs affecting daily life and social structures such as the family, work and organization, commerce and business, education, health care, and leisure activities? -To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using ICTs impact on the construction of objects, spaces, and entities in the material world? iCS analyses such questions from a global, interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication and media studies, as well as in the information and computer sciences.
