Specificity of Impaired Attentional Inhibition of Problematic Social Media User Among College Students
Using the orienting bias inhibition task and eye-tracking techniques,the present study investigated the processing characteristics of social information attentional inhibition among college students exhibiting problematic social media use.The results found that the break frequency of problematic users under social information interference was significantly higher than that of normal users,while the saccade average velocity of problematic users towards social information was significantly higher than that of non-social information.In conclusion,college students with problematic social media use have difficulty maintaining their focus on the target under the interference of social information.Additionally,they exhibit specific attentional orientation and a high craving for social information,reflecting the specificity of impaired attentional inhibition in college students with problematic social media use.
