How does the Use of Social Media Affect the Academic Innovation Ability of Doctoral Students:The Mediating Role of Social-Emotional Competence and Attention Failure
Social media is widely used in doctoral students.716 academic doctoral students were studied to explore the influence of social media use motivation and addiction on doctoral students'academic innovation ability,and the mediating role of social-emotional competence and attention failure.The results showed that some social media addictions exist among the doctoral student population;there are differences in demographic variables such as gender and motivation for doctoral studies;motivation for social media use(cognitive and hedonic)and addiction significantly positively and negatively predicted doctoral students'academic innovation ability,respectively,with openness to experience,emotional stability and attention failure mediating this predictive relationship.Therefore,colleges and universities should pay attention to the status quo and underlying causes of doctoral students'social media addiction,pay attention to the construction of good mentoring relationship and students'academic progress,and pay attention to the cultivation of social-emotional competence among doctoral students.
