Abstract

Background: This study aimed to verify the influence of COVID-19-induced depression on smartphone usage time among multicultural adolescents, as well as the moderated mediation effect of gender through anxiety.Methods: Using the raw data from the 2021 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a sample of 1,161 multicultural adolescents was recruited for this study. Models 4 and 7 of the PROCESS macro method were used for data analysis.Results: COVID-19-induced depression among multicultural adolescents positively influenced their smartphone usage time. Moreover, their anxiety fully mediated the influence of COVID-19-induced depression on their smartphone usage time. The mediation effect of COVID-19-induced depression on smartphone usage time through anxiety was moderated by their gender.Conclusions: The results are significant in that they provide insights for addressing the problem of smartphone usage among multicultural adolescents amid a disaster like COVID-19.

COVID-19抑郁对多元文化青少年智能手机使用时间的影响及性别焦虑中介效应

背景：本研究旨在验证COVID-19诱导的抑郁症对多元文化青少年智能手机使用时间的影响，以及性别通过焦虑的调节中介作用。方法：利用2021年韩国青少年风险行为调查的原始数据，本研究招募了1161名多元文化青少年作为样本。PROCESS宏方法的模型4和7用于数据分析。结果：新冠肺炎引发的多元文化青少年抑郁症对他们的智能手机使用时间产生了积极影响。此外，他们的焦虑完全介导了新冠肺炎引发的抑郁症对他们智能手机使用时间的影响。COVID-19诱导的抑郁症通过焦虑对智能手机使用时间的中介作用受到性别的调节。结论：研究结果具有重要意义，因为它们为解决新冠肺炎等灾难中多元文化青少年的智能手机使用问题提供了见解。

期刊介绍： The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress. Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration. Specific approaches may include transgenic/knockout animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.
