摘要

Problematic social media use has been increasingly linked to reduced quality of life; however, the mechanisms behind this association remain unclear. This study examined whether emotional eating mediates the relationship between social media addiction and quality of life, and whether spirituality moderates this relationship. The sample consisted of 612 young adults (M = 21.43 years, SD = 4.54) in Poland, and validated research instruments were employed. Results showed an indirect relationship between social media addiction and quality of life through emotional eating. Moreover, spirituality moderated the relationship between emotional eating and quality of life, such that the indirect effect was significant for individuals with average or high levels of spirituality but non-significant for those with low levels. The results were highly comparable between females and males. These findings suggest that higher levels of spirituality may be associated with lower quality of life when individuals engage in behaviors that conflict with their values.
