Abstract:
This study examined the mediating role of interpersonal self-efficacy in the relationship between social media use and online social anxiety among college students. Using validated scales including the Problematic Social Media Use Questionnaire for Adolescents, the Online Social Anxiety Scale for Social Media Users, and the Interpersonal Self- Efficacy Scale for College Students, data were collected from 864 participants. Key findings revealed: (1) Social media use intensity significantly predicted online social anxiety; (2) Interpersonal self-efficacy partially mediated this relationship, accounting for 42% of the total effect. These results align with previous findings on social skills and anxiety pathways, suggesting that targeted interventions enhancing interpersonal efficacy could mitigate anxiety risks associated with social media engagement.
为考察大学生社交媒体使用与在线社交焦虑的关系,并考察人际交往效能感的中介作用,本研究采用青少年问题性移动社交媒体使用评估问卷、社交媒体用户社交焦虑量表、大学生人际交往效能感问卷对粤港澳大湾区864名大学生进行问卷调查。研究发现:(1)社交媒体使用与在线社交焦虑呈显著正相关,人际交往效能感与社交媒体使用、在线社交焦虑均呈显著负相关。(2)社交媒体使用正向预测在线社交焦虑。(3)人际交往效能感在社交媒体使用与在线社交焦虑之间起部分中介作用。社交媒体使用不仅可以直接影响大学生的在线社交焦虑,还能通过降低人际交往效能感间接影响大学生的在线社交焦虑。
