The Relationship between Social Support and Quantified Self of College Students:The Chain Mediating Role of Perceived Persuasion and Privacy Concerns
[Purpose/significance]This study aims to explore the direct effects of social support on college students'quantified self behavior and the mediating effects of perceived persuasion and privacy concerns.[Method/process]515 college students were sur-veyed by scale survey to measure social support,perceived persuasion,privacy concerns and persistence intention.[Result/conclu-sion]It was found that social support has a significant positive effect on college students'quantified self behavior,and also has a posi-tive effect on perceived persuasion and a negative effect on privacy concerns.Perceived persuasion positively affects quantified self and negatively affects privacy concerns.Privacy concerns have a negative effect on quantified self behavior.These results suggest that social support provides resources and motivation for college students to undertake quantified self practice,that perceived persuasion affects their acceptance and trust of external information,and that privacy concerns are constraints.Therefore,the influence of these factors should be fully considered when promoting the quantified self practice of college students.
