“…The surveys by Zhai et al indicated that users claimed that gaming addiction affected their learning and thinking [ 33 ]. The study by Chen et al found that users in an addictive state had impaired concentration and an inability to process distractions [ 2 ]. Nevertheless, there are still many adolescents who are addicted to the virtual world, which has a serious negative impact on the mentality, study, and life of adolescents [ 36 ].…”

“…In this situation, if technology is used inappropriately, it can have poor outcomes, including altering one’s daily life, even reducing sleep time, and inadvertent use can negatively affect students’ learning [ 35 ]. Users in an addictive state may experience more difficulties in maintaining attention, such as impaired concentration and inability to deal with distractions [ 2 ]. However, a growing number of teenagers are addicted to the virtual world created through mobile phones, and are even becoming addicted, so it has a serious negative impact on teenagers’ mentality, learning, and life [ 36 ].…”

“…This problematic usage is generally considered to be detrimental to users. Students in particular love short videos, but because of the immersive nature of the videos, many students can experience associated problems, and some even become addicted [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Therefore, Hong et al pointed out that video addiction behaviors have had a very large negative impact on the study and life of students of different school ages [ 5 ].…”

As short video addiction has gradually become an emerging Internet behavioral addiction, its negative impacts on the student population have been noticed and cannot be ignored. Based on a literature review, this study referred to the person-process-content framework and drew on the ecosystem theory to define the relationship between short video addiction, learning avoidance motivation, learning commitment, and silent classroom behavior by using structural equation modeling. This study recruited 1000 participants from Chinese vocational colleges to fill out questionnaires. With an effective recovery rate of 94.6%, there were 946 effective study participants comprising 445 males (47%) and 501 females (53%). After it was confirmed that the data passed the reliability and validity tests, structural equation model analysis was carried out. The study results showed that short video addiction was positively correlated with learning avoidance motivation, but negatively correlated with learning commitment; on the other hand, study avoidance motivation was negatively correlated with learning commitment, but positively correlated with silent classroom behavior. Meanwhile, there was a negative correlation between learning commitment and silent classroom behavior. As a result, the negative correlation between short video addiction and learning behavior needs attention from parents and teachers.

“…This contributes to a phenomenon in which users go to YouTube for one video but stay for many more; children spend an average of 77 min on the YouTube app daily, far longer than the average video length of ]. While the harmful effects of viewing an excess number of short-form videos are still being researched by academics, one study suggests that an addiction to short-form content can result in attentional deficits [8 ]. Addiction to short-form content is defined as excessive and irrational use of short videos to a point where it influences one's daily life [9].…”

Purpose of review Since the inception of social media, children have used platforms in manners unbeknownst to their parents. Just when parents feel they may finally understand what platform is relevant or trend is “in,” the landscape evolves, and children shift to something new. It is therefore critical that pediatricians stay informed about what is popular in youth populations. This enables the recognition of the potential dangers of contemporary social media engagement. Recent findings Short-form content and livestreaming continue to rise in popularity while certain older forms of social media have retained relevancy in youth circles. YouTube is the dominant social media force, with both livestreaming and short-form offerings. Twitch and TikTok provide alternatives to YouTube for livestreaming and short-form content, respectively. Instagram and Snapchat – two social media apps that have existed for over 10 years – remain as the most popular mechanisms for children to interact with their friends online. Summary Issues related to body image, attention deficits, cyberbullying, and other potential harms have many parents wary of their child's presence on social media. Social media sites have in-place mechanisms to prevent the likelihood of harm, but pediatricians and parents should still counsel children on best social media practices.

Although the relationships between some antecedents (such as affective disorders and negative emotions) and short‐form video addiction have been verified by previous studies, the association between negative cognitive bias and this addictive behavior has not been examined, and the underlying psychological mechanisms are still unclear. The present study explored the relationship between negative cognitive bias and short‐form video addiction as well as the mediating roles of social support and loneliness in this association. The participants of the current study included 336 university students (197 females). The findings showed that (1) negative cognitive bias was positively correlated with short‐form video addiction; (2) social support and loneliness separately mediated the relationship between negative cognitive bias and short‐form video addiction; and (3) social support and loneliness sequentially mediated the relationship between negative cognitive bias and short‐form video addiction. These results might be helpful for understanding the relationships and the underlying psychological mechanisms between these study variables. Future studies were encouraged to investigate effective intervention approaches for relieving negative cognitive bias, which might be conducive to decreasing the severity of short‐form video addiction.
