Effects of Short Video Addiction on the Motivation and Well-Being of Chinese Vocational College Students
Open accessAbstract
While media use can be beneficial in some ways, excessive use of media has led to growing concerns about its potential negative consequences. With the popularity of Chinese video applications (apps) such as DouYin, TikTok, Kwai, and other short video apps sweeping through schools around the world. Due to the diversity and immersion principle of short videos, their popularity continues to grow, and the phenomenon of students being addicted to short videos also brings many hidden dangers to the learning effect. Among other things, the problem of excessive use of the Internet among Chinese youth has led the government to propose a series of control policies to strengthen the monitoring of harmful habits of youth in the use of online applications. In addition, the problem of youth addiction to short videos has become a major concern for education experts and the general public, thus demonstrating that short video addiction is indeed an ongoing research issue. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the causes of short-form video addiction and its impact on the psychology of learning, and to investigate the relationship between short-form video flow experience, short-form video addiction, intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation, and learning well-being from the perspectives of flow experience theory and micro ecological systems. The questionnaire was sent via instant messaging software such as QQ and WeChat, and university students from vocational colleges in China were invited to complete the questionnaire. A total of 517 valid data were collected, including 222 (42.9%) were male students and 295 (57.1%) were female students. The collected questionnaires were analyzed for reliability and validity after removing incomplete data, followed by structural equation modeling for model verification. The findings showed that: (1) short video flow experience had a positive effect on short video addiction; (2) short video addiction had a negative effect on intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation; (3) intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation had a positive effect on learning well-being; (4) short video flow experience had an indirect negative effect on intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation; (5) short video flow and short video addiction had indirect negative effects on learning well-being. According to the results, it is clear that addiction to short videos has a negative impact on learners' learning motivation and positive psychology of learning, so parents and teachers should effectively guide students to use short video apps in a self-controlled way.

TL;DR
This study tested a flow-experience and micro-ecological model among Chinese vocational college students and found that short-video flow positively predicted short-video addiction, which in turn negatively predicted intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation and indirectly lowered learning well-being. The authors conclude that short-video addiction harms learning motivation and positive learning psychology, recommending that parents and teachers guide self-controlled short-video use.
Key findings
- Short video flow had a positive effect on short video addiction (β = 0.77*, t = 15.57), explaining 59% of the variance (f² = 1.44).
- Short video addiction had negative effects on intrinsic learning motivation (β = −0.49*, t = −10.46) and extrinsic learning motivation (β = −0.47*, t = −9.89), with explanatory power of 24% (f² = 0.32) and 22% (f² = 0.28), respectively.
- Intrinsic learning motivation (β = 0.57*, t = 8.42) and extrinsic learning motivation (β = 0.24*, t = 3.63) had positive effects on learning well-being; together they explained 45% of the variance (f² = 0.82).
- Indirect effects were negative: short video flow → intrinsic learning motivation (β = −0.38), short video flow → extrinsic learning motivation (β = −0.36), short video flow → learning well-being (β = −0.30), and short video addiction → learning well-being (β = −0.40); all 95% CIs did not cross 0.
Methods
- Cross-sectional questionnaire study using snowball sampling via QQ and WeChat among vocational college students in China. Of 600 questionnaires collected, 83 invalid responses were removed, yielding 517 valid questionnaires (86.2% valid recovery rate): 222 male (42.9%) and 295 female (57.1%); mean age 19.19 years (SD = 1.12).
- Viewing frequency: 56 (10.8%) watched short videos 1–3 days/week, 130 (25.1%) 4–6 days/week, and 331 (64%) every day; daily viewing was <1 h for 61 (11.8%), 1–3 h for 266 (51.4%), and >3 h for 190 (36.8%).
- Measures were adapted from prior scales and rated on a 5-point Likert scale: short video flow (8 items), short video addiction (8 items), intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation (6 items each), and learning well-being (10 items). After first-order CFA, items were reduced to 6, 6, 5, 5, and 7, respectively. Analysis used SPSS 23.0 for descriptives and reliability/validity, AMOS 20.0 for CFA and structural equation modeling, and Bootstrapping for indirect effects. Reliability was α/CR = 0.93–0.96; AVE = 0.68–0.84; model fit: χ² = 1,314.1, df = 372, χ²/df = 3.53, RMSEA = 0.07, GFI = 0.87, AGFI = 0.85, CFI = 0.94.
Limitations
- The paper states it could not confirm whether perceived learning well-being differs by age within the same educational system, and recommends future comparisons across elementary, junior high, high school, and university students.
- The paper states it could not deeply understand the meaning and value of short videos to students with addictive tendencies or why addictive behavior affects their learning; it recommends qualitative research and future demographic analyses by gender, school, city, financial income, personal identities, skills, and personality.
- Evident from the text: the cross-sectional, self-report design limits causal inference, and the authors note possible self-report/social-norm bias in the low mean levels of short video flow and addiction, though they argue the path relationships remain valid.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
