Body image comparisons on SNS;Restrained eating;Body shame;Body appreciation;Body mass index;College women
摘要：
Body image comparisons on social networking sites (SNS) have been found to be associated with disordered eating among western young women, however, the inner mechanism driving this association is largely unknown. Based on social comparison, sociocultural, and objectification theories, the present study aimed to investigate the association between body image comparisons on SNS and restrained eating, as well as the mediating role of body shame and the moderating roles of body appreciation and body mass index (BMI) among Chinese young adult women. A sample of 567 Chinese college women were recruited to complete a questionnaire assessing body image comparisons on SNS, body shame, body appreciation, restrained eating, and information about weight and height. Results showed that body image comparisons on SNS were positively associated with restrained eating and that body shame significantly mediated this association. Furthermore, body appreciation and BMI each moderated the association between body shame and restrained eating as well as the association between body image comparisons on SNS and restrained eating. These results not only have theoretical implications, but also provide guidance for prevention interventions targeting negative body image and disordered eating among college women.

摘要：
BACKGROUND: With the increasing incidence of mobile phone addiction, mobile phone addiction has been considered to be related to adolescents' psychological distress. However, the underlying mechanisms of this relation were still unclear. The present study tested the mediating role of rumination and the moderating role of the capacity to be alone in the relation between mobile phone addiction and psychological distress. METHODS: 754 middle school students were recruited to complete measures of mobile phone addiction, rumination, the capacity to be alone, psychological distress and demographic variables. RESULTS: Mobile phone addiction was significantly and positively associated with psychological distress, and this link could be mediated by rumination. Moreover, the direct effect of mobile phone addiction on psychological distress and the indirect effect of rumination in this link were moderated by the capacity to be alone. Both these two effects were stronger for adolescents with lower capacity to be alone. LIMITATIONS: The present study is limited in terms of its sample selection, cross-sectional design, and self-reported instruments. CONCLUSIONS: The present study advances our understanding of how and when or for whom mobile phone addiction is related to serious psychological distress. Education professionals and parents should pay special attention to the psychological distress of adolescents suffering from mobile phone addiction, particularly for those with lower capacity to be alone.

Downward social comparison;Mobile phone addiction;Implicit narcissism;Explicit narcissism;Mediation effect
摘要：
AbstractThis study investigated the roles of implicit and explicit narcissism in the relationship between downward social comparison and mobile phone addiction. We randomly recruited 529 college students to complete the downward social comparison scale, mobile addiction tendency scale, and implicit and explicit narcissism questionnaires. Results showed that (1) downward social comparison positively related to implicit narcissism and mobile phone addiction but negatively related to explicit narcissism. Moreover, mobile phone addiction negatively related to explicit narcissism and positively related to implicit narcissism. (2) Downward social comparison positively predicted mobile phone addiction. (3) Implicit and explicit narcissism were parallel mediators in the relationship between downward social comparison and mobile phone addiction. Together, these results suggested that narcissism mediated the relationship of downward social comparison and mobile phone addiction of college students.

Academic performance;Age cohort;Preference for online communication;Problematic Internet use;Self-worth;Self-worth orientation theory
摘要：
The self-worth orientation theory hypothesizes that self-worth is the ultimate reason for people's behavior. Adolescents are prone to problematic Internet use (PIU) when they obtain compensatory self-worth in online social interaction. Academic performance is highly valued in China. Compared with excellent academic performance, those with poor academic performance would be low in self-worth and thus more susceptible to compensation through online social support. However, the academic performance range of high school students was smaller than that of primary and middle schools students, who have universal education. Thus, the age cohort may moderate the moderating effect of academic performance on the relationship between POSI and PIU. Eight hundred and forty-four Chinese student-parent dyads were recruited to examine this hypothesis. The results supported this hypothesis, and these findings further support the hypotheses of the self-worth orientation theory. The practical implications and limitations of the study were discussed.

Active social networking site use;Life satisfaction;Positive feedback;Relational certainty;Sequential mediation model
摘要：
The present research tested the mediating roles of positive feedback and relational certainty in the relation between active social networking site use and life satisfaction. A survey research method was adopted in which four anonymous questionnaires, Inventory of active social networking site use, Positive Feedback Scale, Relational Certainty Scale as well as Life Satisfaction Scale, were completed by 742 senior middle school students. Results indicated that active social networking site use could not only predict life satisfaction positively through the mediating role of positive feedback, but also through the mediating role of relational certainty. The sequential mediating role of positive feedback and relational certainty could also be found in the complex mechanism of active social networking site use on life satisfaction. These results shed light on the importance of active social networking site use and positive feedback for adolescent adjustment.

Selfie-posting;Exercise for weight control;Body surveillance;Young women
摘要：
Under the perspective of self-perception theory and objectification theory, this study aims to examine the association between selfie-posting on social networking sites (SNSs) and exercise for weight control among Chinese young women, as well as the mediating role of body surveillance. A sample of 467 Chinese female students with a BMI lower than 24 were recruited. Participants voluntarily completed questionnaires assessing their selfieposting behavior on SNSs, body surveillance, and their weight control motivation for exercise. The results show that selfie-posting on SNSs is positively associated with exercise for weight control, and that body surveillance significantly mediates this association. The results suggest that interventions targeting selfie behaviors on SNSs may be an effective way to prevent unhealthy exercise motivations, such as exercise for weight control, among young women with a low BMI.

Social networking site;Selfie-posting;Self-objectification;Commentary on appearance;Restrained eating
摘要：
Considering the prevalence of social networking sites (SNSs) and restrained eating among young adult women, the present study aimed to investigate the association between selfie-posting on an SNS (WeChat Moments, the most widely used SNS in China) and self-objectification among Chinese young adult women as well as the mediating effects of commentary on appearance and self-objectification from the perspective of self-perception theory and objectification theory. A sample of 886 female undergraduate students who had an active WeChat Moments account were recruited voluntarily to complete questionnaires on selfie-posting on SNS, general SNS use, commentary on appearance on SNSs, self-objectification, and restrained eating. The results indicated that after controlling for general SNS use, age, and BMI, selfie-posting on a SNS was positively associated with restrained eating. Commentary on appearance and self-objectification mediated this association, which contained three mediating paths: the separate mediating effects of commentary on appearance and self-objectification and the serial mediating effect of commentary on appearance and self-objectification. These results indicate that selfie-posting and commentary on appearance on a SNS rather than general SNS use are risk factors accounting for restrained eating, which has theoretical and practical implications in terms of SNS use and restrained eating.

摘要：
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The present study examined whether individuals experienced the same cognitive advantage for online self-relevant information (nickname) as that experienced for information encountered in real life (real name) through two experiments at both the behavioural and neural levels (event-related potential, ERP). The results indicated that individuals showed the same cognitive advantage for nicknames and real names. At the behavioural level, a nickname was detected as quickly as the real name, and both were detected faster than a famous name; at the neural level, the P300 potential elicited by one’s nickname was similar to that elicited by one’s real name, and both the P300 amplitudes and latencies were larger and more prolonged than those elicited by other name stimuli. These results not only confirmed the cognitive advantage for one’s own nickname and indicated that this self-advantage can be extended to online information, but also indicated that the virtual self could be integrated into the self and further expanded individuals’ self-concept.</jats:p>
