这项研究调查了抑郁症状、体力活动（例如慢跑、骑自行车和游泳）和成瘾性社交媒体使用 (SMU) 之间的联系。在 638 名社交媒体用户的样本中[平均 (M)(年龄)标准差 (SD)(年龄) = 21.57 (4.89)]，通过在线调查评估了抑郁症状、体力活动和成瘾 SMU。体力活动显着调节抑郁症状与成瘾性 SMU 之间的正相关关系。体力活动越高，抑郁症状与成瘾倾向之间的联系就越弱。抑郁症患者往往倾向于大量使用社交媒体来逃避负面情绪并寻求缓解。这增加了他们产生成瘾倾向的风险。体育活动可以降低这种风险并促进健康。因此，抑郁症状加重的人应该接受有问题的 SMU 筛查，并鼓励他们参加体育活动。
This study investigated the link between depression symptoms, physical activity (e.g., jogging, cycling, and swimming), and addictive social media use (SMU). In a sample of 638 users of social media [mean (M)(age)standard deviation (SD)(age) = 21.57 (4.89)], depression symptoms, physical activity, and addictive SMU were assessed by an online survey. Physical activity significantly moderated the positive relationship between depression symptoms and addictive SMU. The higher the physical activity, the weaker the link between depression symptoms and addictive tendencies. Depressed individuals often tend to intensive use of social media to escape negative mood and to find relief. This enhances their risk to develop addictive tendencies. Physical activity may reduce this risk and foster well-being. Therefore, persons with increased depression symptoms should be screened for problematic SMU and be motivated to engage in physical activity.
