Purpose:
Due to limited auditory capabilities, students with hearing impairments rely more on visual stimuli, making short-form videos a key information source and potential addiction risk. However, research on this topic is exceedingly scarce. This study aimed to investigate the demographic characteristics of short-form video addiction among students with hearing impairments and the roles of parental psychological control and students' psychological reactance in short-form video addiction.
Methods:
A total of 335 students with hearing impairments from China participated in this survey. Canonical correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were performed to analyze the data.
Results:
Primary school students, day students, and those under the age of 13 exhibited significantly lower levels of short-form video addiction. Parental psychological control was positively associated with hearing-impaired students' short-form video addiction, and their correlation was mainly manifested in the correlation between guilt induction (one dimension of parental psychological control) and productivity loss (one dimension of short-form video addiction). Additionally, psychological reactance partially mediated the effect of parental psychological control on short-form video addiction.
Conclusion:
Hearing-impaired students' short-form video addiction varies across their demographics. Parental psychological control is a risk factor for short-form video addiction among students with hearing impairments, and this relationship is partially mediated by students' psychological reactance. This study offers implications for reducing short-form video addiction from the perspectives of family, school, and society.
