HPD-SMD-SR (Akeren, 2024)_362.csv

Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is characterized by individuals who behave impulsively, constantly seek attention from others, and experience anxiety when they feel that attention is diminishing. Social media is a platform where individuals with histrionic tendencies can get their attention in a short space of time, but its excessive use may increase the risk of social media disorder (SMD). Indeed, research confirms this, but provides little evidence of how to manage the relationship between the two and thus reduce the risk of SMD. Based on the assumption that self-regulation (S-R), in which individuals can control their impulses, can manage the HPD-SMD relationship, the current study reached 362 undergraduate students (age range: 18-27, X̄: 21.13±1.55, 252 females, 110 males) using a cross-sectional survey design. The results showed that females and students in the first years of education had higher mean HPD and SMD and lower mean S-R, and that HPD increased the risk of SMD, but S-R moderated this effect. Considering some of the limitations of the current study, suggestions are made for future studies, especially in regard to sex/gender stereotyping.

表演型人格障碍（Histrionic Personality Disorder, HPD）以个体行为冲动、持续寻求他人关注，并在感知到关注减少时产生焦虑为核心特征。社交媒体是具有表演型人格倾向的个体能够在短时间内获得关注的平台，但过度使用社交媒体可能提升罹患社交媒体障碍（Social Media Disorder, SMD）的风险。已有研究证实了这一关联，但鲜有证据阐明如何调控二者间的关系以降低SMD的发病风险。基于“自我调节（Self-regulation, S-R）——即个体能够控制自身冲动——可调控HPD与SMD间关联”的假设，本研究采用横断面调查设计，招募了362名本科生作为被试（年龄范围：18~27岁，均值±标准差：21.13±1.55；女性252名，男性110名）。研究结果显示：女性及大学一年级学生的HPD与SMD平均得分更高，而自我调节平均得分更低；HPD会提升SMD的发病风险，但自我调节对该效应具有调节作用。考虑到本研究存在的若干局限，本研究对未来研究提出了建议，尤其聚焦于性别刻板印象相关议题。
