Abstract

The current study aims to explore the mediating role of self-esteem and appearance anxiety between short video addiction and self-identity among female users of short videos. 400 female users were recruited via short video addiction scale, self-esteem scale, objectification of female content scale, internalization of beauty ideals scale, self-identity scale. The results found: (1) Self-esteem played a significant mediating role between short video addiction and self-identity; (2) The chain mediating effect of internalization of beauty ideals and self-esteem was not significant; (3) The chain mediating effect of objectification of female content and self-esteem was significant. Therefore, self-esteem and part of appearance anxiety acted as mediators in the relationship between short video addiction and self-identity. The higher the short video addiction is, the lower self-esteem is, the higher the appearance anxiety is, hence, the more likely the person would not identify with themselves. The relevant results have reference value for an in-depth understanding of the influence mechanisms of contemporary female self-identity.
