The impact of peer pressure on short video addiction of Chinese adolescents: a moderated mediation model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe rising popularity of short videos has sparked increasing worry about their potential for adolescent addiction. Guided by the ACE (Anonymity, Convenience, and Escape) and cognitive-behavioral model, our investigation examines how peer pressure is linked to this addiction, with specific attention to the mediating function of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the buffering effect of social support.
methods699 secondary school students completed an anonymous cross-sectional survey. Participants engaged with the Peer Pressure Questionnaire, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Short, Adolescent Social Support Scale, and Short-Form Video Addiction Scale. We tested a moderated mediation model to analyze the data.
resultsResults demonstrated that peer pressure was significantly associated with addiction. Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies partially mediated the association between peer pressure to short video addiction (β = 0.05, 95% CI [0.02, 0.08]). However, adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies did not demonstrate a significant mediating effect. Furthermore, social support was associated with a weaker impact of peer pressure on maladaptive strategies (β = -0.10, 95% CI [།0.17, །0.02]).
conclusionsThese findings indicate that peer pressure is significantly associated with short video addiction through emotion regulation mechanisms, with social support exerting context-dependent associations. The research offers a theoretical basis for creating focused interventions to decrease short video addiction in adolescents.
