The Impact of Social Media Use on Adolescent Physical Anxiety: The Mediating Role of Objectification

摘要: 为探讨社交媒体使用对青少年体貌焦虑的影响，以及客体化在二者关系中的中介作用，采用社交媒体使用频率量表、社交外貌焦虑量表和客体化的身体意识量表，对200名中学生以及160名大学生进行调查，回收有效问卷314份。结果显示：(1) 青少年社交媒体使用、自我客体化存在性别差异，女生社交媒体使用和客体化水平均显著高于男生；(2) 大学生社交媒体使用和客体化显著高于中学生；(3) 社交媒体使用与体貌焦虑、自我客体化呈正相关，自我客体化在青少年社交媒体使用对体貌焦虑的影响中起完全中介作用。本研究结果对青少年心理健康教育实践具有一定的参考意义，在实践中可以从社交媒体使用以及客体化方面介入以缓解青少年体貌焦虑，提高青少年心理健康水平。

Abstract: To explore the impact of social media usage on adolescent physical anxiety and the mediating role of self-objectification in the relationship between the two, 200 middle school students and 160 college students were surveyed using the Social Media Usage Frequency Scale, Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, and Objectified Body Consciousness Scale. A total of 314 valid questionnaires were collected. The results show that: (1) There are gender differences in adolescent social media use and self-objectification, with female students having significantly higher levels of social media use and self-objectification than male students; (2) College students’ use of social media and level of self-objectification are significantly higher than those of middle school students; (3) The use of social media is positively correlated with physical anxiety and with self-objectification, and self-objectification plays a completely mediating role in the impact of adolescent social media use on physical anxiety. The results of this study have certain reference significance for the practice of adolescent mental health education. In practice, interventions can be implemented from the perspectives of social media usage and self-objectification to alleviate adolescent physical anxiety and improve their mental health.
