The Impact of Short Video Addiction on the Academic Performance of Primary School Students——The Roles of Intrinsic Learning Motivation and Teacher-Student Relationships
Investigating the negative impact of short video addiction on the academic performance of primary school students is a critical issue concerning child development.A sample survey of 309 primary schools in T City,China,was conducted to explore the mechanisms by which short video addiction affects academic performance of primary school students.The findings indicate that in the primary school stage,students from low socioeconomic status are more addicted to short videos than those from high socioeconomic status,boys are more addicted than girls,and boarding students are more addicted than non-boarding students.A higher degree of short video addiction correlates with a more pronounced decline in academic performance of primary school students.Intrinsic learning motivation serves as a mediating factor between short video addiction and academic performance of primary school students,while the teacher-student relationship positively moderates the impact of short video addiction on intrinsic learning motivation,thereby alleviating its negative effects on academic performance.Accordingly,it is recommended that educators employ thematic education to enhance students'awareness of the risks associated with short video addiction and improve their critical media analysis skills.Establishing supportive teacher-student relationships that address students'emotional needs can foster intrinsic learning motivation and reduce psychological dependence on short videos.Furthermore,designing diverse extracurricular activities that provide opportunities for cognitive and emotional engagement can redirect students'excessive focus away from short videos.Finally,implementing a home-school collaboration mechanism is essential for cultivating healthy digital media usage habits and effective time management skills in students,thereby effectively mitigating the adverse effects of short video addiction.
