Correlation of variables.

Background
With the explosive development of the short-form video (SFV) industry in recent years, the issue of SFV addiction among young people has attracted increasing attention from scholarship. Researchers have found that proactive personality is negatively associated with behavioral addiction. Additionally, SFV Apps tend to place users in a “filter bubble” to passively consume the pushed video content. Proactiveness could be an effective trait to resist the excessive use of SFVs. Thus, proactive personality may be a negative predictor of SFV addiction.
Objective
The present study aims at investigating the relationship between proactive personality and SFV addiction among college students, and the psychological mechanism underlying the relationship, i.e., the mediating roles of resilience and self-control.
Methods
Convenience sampling was adopted to conduct an online questionnaire survey among college students from 8 universities in 5 provinces of China. Proactive personality scale (PPS), brief resilience scale (BRS), Brief self-control scale (BSCS), and SFV addiction scale were applied in designing the questionnaire. A total of 560 valid questionnaires were obtained with ages ranging from 17 to 22 (19.32±1.14), among whom 40.18% were males and 59.28% females.
Results
SFV addiction among college students was negatively correlated with proactive personality, resilience, and self-control. Proactive personality has significant direct effect on SFV addiction, and the other two variables play partial mediating roles including chain mediation between proactive personality and SFV addiction. The ratio of SFV addicts amounted to 23.57%, which was slightly higher compared to previous research findings.
Conclusion
Proactive personality negatively predicts SFV addiction among college students and the mediators of resilience and self-control play partially mediating roles between proactive personality and SFV addiction.

背景
近年来，短视频（short-form video, SFV）行业爆发式发展，青少年短视频成瘾问题已日益受到学界关注。已有研究表明，主动性人格（proactive personality）与行为成瘾呈负相关关系。此外，短视频应用往往会将用户置于“信息茧房”中，使其被动接收平台推送的视频内容。主动性特质可有效抵御短视频过度使用行为，因此主动性人格或可作为短视频成瘾的负向预测因子。
研究目的
本研究旨在考察大学生群体中主动性人格与短视频成瘾的关联，并揭示该关联背后的心理机制，即心理韧性（resilience）与自我控制（self-control）的中介作用。
研究方法
本研究采用方便抽样法，针对中国5个省份8所高校的大学生开展线上问卷调查。问卷编制采用了主动性人格量表（Proactive Personality Scale, PPS）、简版心理韧性量表（Brief Resilience Scale, BRS）、简版自我控制量表（Brief Self-Control Scale, BSCS）以及短视频成瘾量表。本研究共回收有效问卷560份，受访者年龄介于17至22岁之间（19.32±1.14），其中男性占比40.18%，女性占比59.28%。
研究结果
大学生短视频成瘾与主动性人格、心理韧性及自我控制均呈显著负相关。主动性人格对短视频成瘾具有显著直接效应，且心理韧性与自我控制二者均发挥部分中介作用，二者间还存在链式中介路径。本研究中短视频成瘾者占比达23.57%，略高于既往相关研究结果。
研究结论
主动性人格可负向预测大学生短视频成瘾，且心理韧性与自我控制在主动性人格与短视频成瘾之间发挥部分中介作用。
