On the Relationship between Alexithymia and Cognitive Failure in College Students:A Serial Mediation Model
Objective:to explore the influence of alexithymia on college students'cognitive failure and the mediating mecha-nism of boredom proneness and problematic mobile social media use.Methods:a survey was conducted on 600 college students by using the Alexithymia Scale,Boredom Proneness Questionnaire,Problematic Mobile Social Media Use Scale,and the Chinese version of the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire.Results:there was a significant positive correlation among alexithymia,boredom proneness,problematic mobile social media use,and cognitive failure in college students;the mediating effect of boredom prone-ness between alexithymia and cognitive failure was significant,as was the mediating effect of problematic mobile social media use between alexithymia and cognitive failure,and the serial mediating effect of both boredom proneness and problematic mobile social media use between alexithymia and cognitive failure was significant.Conclusions:Alexithymia can directly predict college students'cognitive failure,and it can also predict college students'cognitive failure through the serial mediation of boredom proneness and problematic mobile social media use.
