Abstract

Work has identified that metacognitive thought results in desire-based thinking and perpetuates the magnitude and severity of maladaptive behaviour including problematic social media use, and also that one’s ingroup identity is related to increasing problematic behaviour. No evidence has ascertained the relative contribution of these as related differential factors in the experience of problematic social media use. The current study explored the comparative importance of components of desire thinking, positive and negative metacognitions and dimensions of ingroup identity on degree of problematic use among 147 current Instagram users. Results showed that for predicting general problematic Instagram use negative metacognitive beliefs and the verbal perseverance component of desire-based thinking were significant. Importantly, however, different factors appeared to be important for predicting distinct aspects of problematic Instagram. For compulsivity indicators, negative metacognitions and verbal perseveration were essential, whereas for the withdrawal component identity centrality (and no other dimensions of identity) and imaginal prefiguration emerge as the sole independent predictors.

相关的元认知、欲望思维和身份对问题 Instagram 使用中的强迫症状和戒断症状有不同的预测作用

研究发现，元认知思维会导致基于欲望的思考，并使包括有问题的社交媒体使用在内的适应不良行为的规模和严重程度永久化，而且一个人的内群体身份也与问题行为的增加有关。目前还没有证据确定这些相关的差异因素在社交媒体使用问题中的相对作用。本研究探讨了欲望思维、积极和消极元认知以及内群体认同等因素对 147 名 Instagram 用户问题使用程度的比较重要性。结果表明，消极元认知信念和欲望思维中的言语毅力对预测Instagram的一般问题使用具有重要意义。但重要的是，不同的因素似乎对预测有问题的 Instagram 的不同方面很重要。对于强迫性指标来说，消极元认知和言语持久性是至关重要的，而对于戒断成分来说，身份中心性（没有其他身份维度）和想象预构化是唯一的独立预测因素。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
