The Impact of Short Video Addiction on Attentional Network Function

短视频平台的广泛使用引发了对其认知影响的关注，尤其是短视频成瘾对个体注意功能的影响。本研究基于注意网络模型，采用注意网络测试，探讨短视频成瘾者在警觉网络、定向网络和执行控制网络上的表现。研究招募被试并根据短视频成瘾量表分为短视频成瘾组与非成瘾组，并测量其在注意网络测试中的反应时。结果表明，短视频成瘾者在定向网络上的表现显著差于非成瘾者，说明短视频成瘾可能削弱个体利用空间线索提升注意定向效率的能力。另外，在警觉能力和执行控制能力上，两组被试间无显著差异。本研究揭示了短视频成瘾对注意功能的影响模式，为理解短视频成瘾的认知机制提供了实证支持，并为注意力相关问题的干预提供了参考。The increasing prevalence of short video platforms has sparked concerns about their cognitive effects, particularly on attentional function in individuals with short video addiction. Grounded in the attentional network model, this study utilized the Attentional Network Task (ANT) to assess the performance of individuals with short video addiction across three attentional networks: alerting, orienting, and conflict networks. Participants were classified into an addiction group and a non-addiction group using a validated short video addiction scale, and their reaction times in the ANT were recorded. Results indicated that individuals with short video addiction exhibited significantly poorer performance in the orienting network, suggesting impairments in utilizing spatial cues for attentional shifts. However, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in the alerting network and the conflict network. This study elucidates the impact of short video addiction on attentional function, offering empirical evidence for its cognitive mechanisms and informing interventions for attention-related issues.
