Longitudinal Effects of Emotional Neglect on Short Video Addiction Among Rural Adolescents: Negative Emotion Mediation and Left-Behind Differences

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2025.03.010

Abstract

Abstract:

This study explored the impact of emotional neglect on short video addiction in rural adolescents and the mediating role of negative emotions, examining differences between left-behind and non-left-behind groups. By using a three-month longitudinal survey of 417 rural adolescents, the results showed that: 1) Emotional neglect significantly predicted short video addiction after three months. 2) Negative emotions mediated the relationship between emotional neglect and short video addiction. 3) The relationship varied significantly between left-behind and non-left-behind situations. Specifically, negative emotions fully mediated the relationship in left-behind children, while partially mediating it in non-left-behind children.

Key words: emotional neglect, short video addiction, negative emotions, rural adolescents, left-behind children

摘要：

为探讨情感忽视对农村青少年短视频成瘾的影响及负性情绪的中介作用，并且考察留守与非留守群体的差异，采用问卷调查法，对417名农村青少年进行为期3个月的追踪研究。结果表明：(1)情感忽视显著正向预测农村青少年3个月后的短视频成瘾行为；(2)负性情绪在情感忽视对短视频成瘾的影响过程中起到了中介作用；(3)在是否留守的不同情况下，三者关系存在显著差异。具体而言，负性情绪在留守儿童中完全中介了情感忽视与短视频成瘾之间的关系，而在非留守儿童中仅起部分中介作用。
