Abstract
En 中文
Short-form video application addiction and bullying represent significant risk factors for children's healthy development. Previous research has found a correlation between short-form video application addiction and bullying. However, the directionality and underlying mechanisms of this relationship remain unclear. This study used a cross-lagged panel design over three six-month intervals with 758 students (M-age = 10.14, SDage = 1.159; 46.3% girls) to examine the bidirectional relationship between short-form video application addiction and bullying perpetration/victimization and the mediating role of social-emotional competence. The results indicated that there was a bidirectional positive relationship between short-form video application addiction and bullying victimization. Furthermore, bullying perpetration/victimization predicted short-form video application addiction by reducing social-emotional competence. These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing children's social-emotional competence as a protective factor against both short-form video application addiction and bullying. The study provides practical implications for parents, educators, and policymakers to design early intervention and prevention programs that enhance children's social-emotional competence, thereby fostering healthier digital habits and positive peer relationships.
