Abstract: In recent years, the popularity of short-form videos has not only changed our ways to get information, but also profoundly affected our daily lives. Despite its advantages, there is one social issue that drew our attention. Regardless of the growing body of literature, there have only been a few numbers of research articles that discussed complex relationships between psychological factors demographic factors and short-form video dependency. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the direct and indirect asso…

“…The results suggest that lower levels of life satisfaction may act as a risk factor for the development of FoMO and/or higher levels of life satisfaction may act as a protective factor against FoMO. This finding is consistent with a recent study (Chung, 2022) and the self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000), suggesting that FoMO can be seen as an expression of unmet basic psychological needs. Therefore, early adolescents who have lower levels of life satisfaction, are more likely to experience FoMO, probably due to the unmet basic psychological needs (e.g., relatedness).…”

“…Distal factors may shape more immediate, proximal factors and their influence on short video platforms use, leading to varied outcomes. In alignment with this view, existing literature has not only examined the direct effects of individual factors but also explored how personality, psychopathology, and social cognitive processes contribute to problematic use both directly and indirectly through their influence on use expectations and cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses (e.g., 34 , 40 , 41 , 43 ). Furthermore, research suggests a nuanced relationship between proximal individual factors.…”

“…Psychopathology and its symptoms have been found to be significantly associated with problematic short video platforms use. Elevated levels of depression ( 7 , 40 ), as well as high social anxiety ( 7 , 11 , 40 ) and low subjective well-being ( 7 , 41 ), were predictive of more severe problematic use of short video platforms. Depression and social anxiety may interfere with individuals’ normal emotional processing and heighten their distress intolerance.…”
