Effect of Social Media and Smoking Addiction on Anxiety Levels in Individuals Emerging Adulthood

Effect of Social Media and Smoking Addiction on Anxiety Levels in Individuals Emerging Adulthood Background: It was designed to examine the effects of social media use and cigarette addiction on anxiety levels in individuals emerging into adulthood. Methods: The Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form (YIAT-SF) was used to assess individuals' levels of addiction to social media. The Smoking Psychological Dependence Assessment Scale (SPDAS) was used to assess levels of psychological dependence on cigarettes. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BDI) was used to assess anxiety levels. Results: A total of 191 participants were included, with mean scores of YIAT-Sf = 28.53 ± 8.33, SPDAS = 13.82 ± 9.42, and BDI = 31.31 ± 12.00. There was a moderately positive correlation between BDI and YIAT-Sf (r = 0.352, p < .001) and a weakly positive correlation between SPDAS and BDI (r = 0.266, p < .001) . There was a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between YIAT-Sf and SPDAS (r = 0.194, p = 0.007). Simple linear regression analysis showed a significant relationship between BDI and YIAT-Sf in Model 1 (F =26.928, p < .001) and between BDI and SPDAS in Model 2 (F =14.513, p < .001). Model 4's multiple regression analysis revealed a significant relationship among BDI, YIAT-Sf, and SPDAS (F = 18.658, p < .001). Conclusion: A moderate positive correlation was found between social media addiction and anxiety levels, and a weak positive correlation was found between smoking addiction levels and anxiety levels. It was found that social media addiction and smoking addiction are associated with anxiety levels in individuals Emerging Adulthood### 研究主题：社交媒体与吸烟成瘾对成年初显期（Emerging Adulthood）个体焦虑水平的影响 #### 研究背景 本研究旨在探讨社交媒体使用与吸烟成瘾对成年初显期个体焦虑水平的影响。 #### 研究方法 采用青年网络成瘾测验简版（Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, YIAT-SF）评估个体的社交媒体成瘾程度；采用吸烟心理依赖评定量表（Smoking Psychological Dependence Assessment Scale, SPDAS）评估个体对香烟的心理依赖水平；采用贝克焦虑量表（Beck Anxiety Inventory, BDI）评估个体的焦虑水平。 #### 研究结果 本研究共纳入191名参与者，各项量表平均得分分别为：YIAT-SF为28.53±8.33，SPDAS为13.82±9.42，BDI为31.31±12.00。分析结果显示：BDI与YIAT-SF之间存在中等程度的正相关（r=0.352, p<0.001）；SPDAS与BDI之间存在弱正相关（r=0.266, p<0.001）；YIAT-SF与SPDAS之间亦存在微弱但具有统计学意义的正相关（r=0.194, p=0.007）。简单线性回归分析表明，模型1中BDI与YIAT-SF存在显著关联（F=26.928, p<0.001），模型2中BDI与SPDAS同样存在显著关联（F=14.513, p<0.001）。模型4的多元回归分析结果显示，BDI、YIAT-SF与SPDAS三者间存在显著关联（F=18.658, p<0.001）。 #### 研究结论 本研究发现，社交媒体成瘾与焦虑水平之间存在中等程度的正相关，吸烟成瘾程度与焦虑水平之间存在弱正相关；成年初显期个体的社交媒体成瘾与吸烟成瘾均与焦虑水平存在关联。
