人机互动视角下短视频沉迷的发生机制

Short video indulgence refers to an individuals compulsive and uncontrollable consumption of short videos, leading to significant behavioral or attention impairments, and subsequently causing difficulties in interpersonal relationships, learning, and/or work adaptation. With the continuous expansion of the user base and the increasing prevalence among younger demographics, the potential threat of short video indulgence has garnered attracted widespread attention. Employing a human-computer interaction framework, this study first categorizes short video usage into instrumental and ritualistic forms. Subsequently, through a comprehensive considering of interaction process and users susceptibility traits, a conceptual framework was constructed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying short video indulgence. Finally, theoretical exposition of short video indulgence was presented from cognitive, emotional, motivational, and social vantage points. Future researchers are expected to focus on the mechanism of the occurrence of short video indulgence, emphasize the media characteristics and technical properties that provoke indulgence, and work to advance the prevention and intervention of short video indulgence.
