TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Research on adolescents regarding the indirect effect of depression, anxiety, and stress between TikTok use disorder and memory loss JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Sha, Peng A1 - Dong, Xiaoyu SP - e8820 EP - e8820 VL - 18 IS - 16 N2 - This research involved the participation of 3036 Chinese students in the first and second years of senior high school. The adolescents were active users of TikTok. The mediating effect of depression, anxiety, and stress between TikTok use disorder and memory loss was investigated. A forward and backward digit span test was applied to measure memory loss. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was established, and SPSS Amos was used for analysis. The results show a partial mediation effect of depression and anxiety between TikTok use disorder and forward digit span. A partial mediation effect of depression, anxiety, and stress between TikTok use disorder and backward digit span is also shown. These results also show gender differences. Attention should be given to male students, who have more depression, anxiety, and stress than female students; they also have more memory loss.
