Exploring fear of missing out and problematic social media use among Generation Alpha: a random intercept cross-lagged panel model and cross-lagged panel network analysis
This study aimed to examine the variable- and symptom-level relationships between fear of missing out and problematic social media use among early adolescents from Generation Alpha using the random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) and cross-lagged panel network analysis (CLPN), respectively. A total of 672 Chinese early adolescents participated in a three-wave study with six-month intervals. The RI-CLPM revealed that fear of missing out positively predicted problematic social media use at the within-person level, while problematic social media use positively predicted fear of missing out only from T2 to T3. The CLPN uncovered the strongest cross-lagged edges between fear of missing out symptoms and problematic social media use symptoms. Additionally, several key nodes were identified: social integration showed the highest out-expected influence (OEI) and tolerance showed the highest in-expected influence (IEI) from T1 to T2; withdrawal showed the highest OEI and salience showed the highest IEI from T2 to T3. This study offers theoretical insights into the dynamic interplay between fear of missing out and problematic social media use among early adolescents from Generation Alpha, and practical guidance for effective prevention and intervention to break the vicious cycle.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
