Social media has been increasingly utilized as an effective avenue for individuals to obtain needed social support and health-related information, especially during the on-going global COVID-19 pandemic. However, surprisingly few empirical studies have concentrated on the detrimental impact of social media adoption on young adults’ psychosocial well-being and mental health. Drawing upon previous stressor-strain-outcome theoretical paradigm (SSO), the present research investigates how psychosocial well-being assessments, especially compulsive WeChat use and information overload could trigger social media fatigue and, furthermore, how social media fatigue would ultimately result in emotional stress and social anxiety. This article utilized the cross-sectional design whereby statistical data were collected from 566 young people to test the conceptual research model. This research results demonstrate that perceived information overload through WeChat could significantly trigger social media fatigue among young people. Moreover, perceived information overload could indirectly predict emotional stress and social anxiety through the mediation of social media fatigue. This present work has vital theoretical and practical implications for widespread adoption of newly emerging communication technologies to enhance mental health and well-being among younger generation during recent public health crises.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间,强迫性使用微信和信息过载如何影响社交媒体疲劳和健康?应激-应变-结果的观点

社交媒体越来越多地被用作个人获得所需社会支持和健康相关信息的有效途径,尤其是在持续的全球 COVID-19 大流行期间。然而,令人惊讶的是,很少有实证研究关注社交媒体采用对年轻人社会心理健康和心理健康的不利影响。借鉴之前的压力源-应变-结果理论范式 (SSO),本研究调查了社会心理健康评估,尤其是强迫性微信使用和信息超载如何引发社交媒体疲劳,此外,社交媒体疲劳最终如何导致情绪低落。压力和社交焦虑。本文采用横断面设计,从 566 名年轻人中收集统计数据来检验概念研究模型。该研究结果表明,通过微信感知的信息过载会显着引发年轻人的社交媒体疲劳。此外,感知信息过载可以通过社交媒体疲劳的中介间接预测情绪压力和社交焦虑。目前的工作对于广泛采用新兴通信技术以在最近的公共卫生危机期间增强年轻一代的心理健康和福祉具有重要的理论和实践意义。此外,感知信息过载可以通过社交媒体疲劳的中介间接预测情绪压力和社交焦虑。目前的工作对于广泛采用新兴通信技术以在最近的公共卫生危机期间增强年轻一代的心理健康和福祉具有重要的理论和实践意义。此外,感知信息过载可以通过社交媒体疲劳的中介间接预测情绪压力和社交焦虑。目前的工作对于广泛采用新兴通信技术以在最近的公共卫生危机期间增强年轻一代的心理健康和福祉具有重要的理论和实践意义。
