Abstract

Adolescents’ addiction to short videos is becoming increasingly significant, which brings great challenges to adolescents’ physical and mental health and daily life. Based on the SOR model, this study starts with short video characteristics, introduces emotional dependence, and empirically explores their impacts on adolescents’ short video addiction behavior. Using questionnaire data from 157 adolescents aged between 12 and 18, this study found that, 1) the relationship between information bias and short-video addiction was an inverted U-shaped, while entertainment means was positively associated with short-video addiction behavior; 2) emotional dependence mediated the roles of information bias and entertainment means on short-video addiction behavior. Meanwhile, this paper found that burner accounts enhanced the relationship between information bias and emotional dependence, but had no significant moderating effect on the relationship between entertainment means and emotional dependence. Therefore, this study not only enriches the research on short video addiction behavior but also proposes some countermeasures to deal with adolescents’ addiction behavior of short videos in the era of mobile Internet.
