摘要

Social media users often fail to control their social media use when it disturbs with other daily goals (e.g., study, work, chores). Previous studies have demonstrated the negative impact of social media self-control failure on wellbeing, but the mechanism underlying the negative impact remains unclear. Based on the kindling model, this study examined the chain mediating effect of daily hassle and subjective vitality on the association between social media self-control failure and affective wellbeing (i.e., positive affect and negative affect). A sample of 490 Chinese social media users (Mage = 24.2, SDage = 8.3, 72.4% female) completed an online survey. Structural equation modeling results showed that: (1) Social media self-control failure was associated with lower positive affect and higher negative affect directly. (2) Their direct associations were serially mediated by daily hassle and subjective vitality. The results indicated that intermittent social media self-control failure might have durable effects on affective wellbeing through increasing perceptions of daily hassle and depleting one’s subjective vitality.
