The correlation between video dependency and psychological anxiety in adolescents and their corresponding coping strategies
Objective:To explore the correlation between video dependence and adolescent psychological anxiety,and to explore the effective prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:Linear correlation and multiple linear regression equations were used to analyze the relationship between psychological anxiety caused by video dependence in adolescents.Based on Tiktok video platform,relevant data were collected by adolescent video addiction scale and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS).Results:A total of 214 adolescents in Guangzhou were investigated.The results showed that video dependence was positively correlated with psychological anxiety(r=0.448,P<0.01),and the four dimensions of video dependence were significantly positively correlated with psychological anxiety.The four dimensions included loss of control(r=0.451,P<0.01),withdrawal(r=0.433,P<0.01),avoidance(r=0.333,P<0.01)and inefficiency(r=0.325,P<0.01).The regression equation showed that the standard regression coefficients of the two dimensions of video dependence,loss of control and withdrawal,were 0.392 and 0.368 respectively(P<0.01).Conclusion:The video dependence of adolescents is positively correlated with their level of psychological anxiety,with the uncontrollable and withdrawal factors of video dependence having a more significant impact on anxiety.This study provides a reference basis for precise intervention of video dependence.
