“…Similarly, Hofmann et al (2016) highlighted that social media users should exert selfcontrol to deal with the temptation to use social media and to pursue long-term goals. Recent findings showed people with a low level of self-control reported a higher-level social media addiction (e.g., Eks ¸i et al, 2019). Holmgren and Coyne (2017) found that self-regulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between pathological social media usage and depression among emerging adults.…”

“…Self-control refers to the ability to resist or overcome immediate impulses to attain a long-term goal (Baumeister et al, 2007; Duckworth & Seligman, 2006). Many studies have explained the significance of self-control in behavioral addictions such as social media addiction (Ekşi et al, 2019), internet addiction (Özdemir et al, 2014), multi-screen addiction (Şimşir Gökalp et al, 2022), and mobile phone addiction (Peng et al, 2022). Additionally, poor self-control is associated with mental health problems (Kim et al, 2022; Nielsen et al, 2020; Özdemir et al, 2014).…”

“…As mentioned before, studies in the literature emphasized that lack of self-control triggers psychological problems (e.g., Kim et al, 2022; Li et al, 2019). Also, poor self-control increases behavioral addiction (e.g., Ekşi et al, 2019; Özdemir et al, 2014), which in turn negatively affects mental health among emerging adults (e.g., Demirci, 2019; Satici et al, 2021). To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no research in the literature that investigates the sequential mediator roles of FoMO and social media addiction in the relationship between self-control and psychological issues in emerging adults.…”

The Relationships Between Self-Control and Distress Among Emerging Adults: A Serial Mediating Roles of Fear of Missing Out and Social Media Addiction

Previous studies have confirmed that poor self-control, fear of missing out (FoMO), and social media addiction are potential risk factors for young mental health. However, the relationships between self-control, FoMO, social media addiction, and emerging adult distress have received relatively little attention in empirical studies. In this regard, drawing on the self-determination theory (SDT), the current study investigates the serial mediating roles of FoMO and social media addictions between self-control and distress (depression, anxiety, stress). 866 students studying at seven different state universities in Turkey participated in this study (M age = 20.8, SD = 1.42). The findings revealed significant relationships between self-control, FoMO, social media addiction, and distress. The findings also support the proposed serial mediating model. In other words, the lack of self-control predicted greater FoMO, which in turn predicted increased social media addiction, which in turn ultimately predicted higher distress. Overall, these results suggested that the lack of self-control is a risk factor for mental health and that social media addiction and FoMO also increase this risk.

“…They will lose the sense of time in the process of using, which makes them more prone to short video addiction. Previous studies have found a signi cant negative correlation between self-control and mobile phone or social media addiction [21,22,23]. Therefore, this study proposes hypothesis 3: self-control would mediate the relationship between social exclusion and short video addiction.…”

Background Short video apps are very popular among Chinese college students, and some students even rely on them. Most of the current research only focuses on Internet addiction, and seldom pays attention to the phenomenon of short video addiction. Its influencing factors and formation mechanism are worth exploring. Objectives This study aims to explore the relationship between social exclusion and short video addiction among college students, and the mediating roles of boredom and self-control. Methods This study adopted a Multi-stage investigation and investigated 532 college students (39% males; mean age 19.32 ± 1.23 years) with social exclusion scale, boredom proneness scale, self-control scale, and short video addiction scale. The mediating effect was tested with Process 3.1. Results The results showed that social exclusion could directly affect short video addiction. Moreover, boredom and self-control can independently mediate the association between social exclusion and short video addiction. Furthermore, boredom and self-control can sequentially mediate the association between social exclusion and short video addiction. Conclusion Theoretically, this study modified the I-PACE model, indicating that behavioral addiction, such as short video addiction, should consider personal and distant social factors. Practically, the results suggested that schools should reduce peer rejection and improve students' mental health literacy to reduce boredom and enhance self-control, thus effectively preventing short video addiction.

“…It is a coping strategy that may work as a way to diminish unpleasant experiences in the short term, but may lead to enhancing problems in the long term [38] . Engaging in EA may lead to negative psychological symptoms as it decreases one's ability to effectively cope with emotional experiences [39] . EA, in general, has been studied within the field of Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS) [40] as a way to understand complex psychological phenomena, with clear treatment implications.…”

Problematic video game playing (PVGP) in adolescents is associated with an array of mental and behavioral problems. Identifying the function of video game playing that are associated with poorer outcomes may provide a better understand of the problem so that adolescents can be helped to foster a healthier relationship with their devices. The aim of the present study is to assess whether sociodemographic factors, drug use, bullying victimization and perpetration, and mental health symptoms are associated with playing video games with the intent to alleviate problems among Brazilian eighth grade students. A cross-sectional survey nested in a cluster randomized controlled trial was used. The participants included 3939 eighth grade students who answered a self-report questionnaire anonymously. Weighted logistic regressions were used to investigate the associated factors. The results showed that 57% (CI = 55.85; 58.15) of these adolescents reported playing with an escapism function. Playing to forget or alleviate real life problems is associated with being male, using tobacco, bullying victimization and perpetration, healthy levels of prosocial behavior, and emotional symptoms; the strongest association was with emotional symptoms (OR = 1.98; 95% CI 1.73; 2.28). Playing video games as a form of escapism has been shown to be a relevant aspect for investigation among this population, as it is related to mental health symptomatology in adolescence. An understanding of these data through an experiential avoidance, within an acceptance and commitment perspective is suggested, since it may help broadening the understanding of the problems related to video game playing, its comorbidities and may have direct treatment implications.
