Psychological resilience as a buffer against short-form video addiction' s impact on learning

Although short-form video addiction is related to learning burnout, the mechanisms underlying this association remain poorly understood. This study explored the roles of self-control and psychological resilience in the relationship between shortform video addiction and learning burnout. We administered the Short Video Addiction Scale, Learning Burnout Scale, SelfControl Scale, and Psychological Resilience Scale to 366 Chinese university students who were in their first year of a publicly funded teacher-training program. The results indicated that short-form video addiction positively predicted learning burnout while selfcontrol played a mediating role in this relationship. Furthermore, psychological resilience had a U-shaped moderating effect on the relationship between short-form video addiction and learning burnout. These results indicate that self-control and psychological resilience could be important factors for a deeper understanding of the links between short-form video addiction and learning burnout, especially among Chinese university students in publicly funded teacher-training programs.
