Abstract: 目的：探讨大学生错失恐惧、社交自我效能感与短视频成瘾的关系及社交自我效能感的中介作用。方法：研究采用错失恐惧量表、社交自我效能感量表和大学生短视频成瘾量表，选取某高校401名在校大学生进行问卷调查。结果：(1) 大学生错失信息恐惧偏高、错失情景恐惧偏低；短视频成瘾以失控性、低效性最突出，社交自我效能感中等偏上。(2) 女生错失恐惧及其分维度(错失情景恐惧)、短视频成瘾及其分维度(戒断性、失控性、低效性)高于男生；在社交自我效能感上，男生得分显著高于女生。(3) 错失恐惧与短视频成瘾正相关，错失恐惧与社交自我效能感负相关，社交自我效能感与短视频成瘾负相关。(4) 社交自我效能感在错失恐惧与短视频成瘾之间起部分中介作用。结论：社交自我效能感在错失恐惧与短视频成瘾之间起部分中介作用。Objective: This study aims to explore the relationships among fear of missing out (FoMO), social self-efficacy, and short-form video addiction in college students, and to examine the mediating role of social self-efficacy. Methods: In this study, the Fear of Missing out Scale, the Social Self‑Efficacy Scale, and the College Students’ Short Video Addiction Scale were administered to 401 undergraduates from a university through a questionnaire survey. Results: (1) College students reported relatively high levels of fear of missing information, but relatively low levels of fear of missing situations. Among the dimensions of short video addiction, loss of control and inefficacy were the most prominent, while social self‑efficacy was at a moderately above‑average level. (2) Female students scored significantly higher than males on fear of missing out and its sub‑dimension (fear of missing situations), as well as on short video addiction and its sub‑dimensions (withdrawal, loss of control, and inefficacy). In contrast, males scored significantly higher than females on social self‑efficacy. (3) Fear of missing out was positively correlated with short video addiction, negatively correlated with social self‑efficacy, and social self‑efficacy was negatively correlated with short video addiction. (4) Social self‑efficacy played a partial mediating role between fear of missing out and short video addiction. Conclusion: Social self‑efficacy played a partial mediating role between fear of missing out and short video addiction.
