Brief summary
This study will describe the general population's current situation of watching Mukbang videos, their mental health status and the level of Internet addiction tendency by means of an online survey, and analyze their correlations. It provides a theoretical basis for promoting healthy psychological development and standardizing management of Mukbang videos.
Detailed description
Mental health issues have always been the focus of health management. The Lancet Global Commission on Mental Health and Sustainable Development also recommends a broad cross-sectoral approach to mental health issues. With the rapid development of short videos and self-media, watching Mukbang is a behavioral way for netizens to alleviate mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. However, watching Mukbang can be Internet addictive. At present, there is no research to predict the addictive behavior caused by Mukbang, and there is no relevant research to explore its addiction mechanism. Although it has been clear that Internet addiction and mental health disorders are significantly related, there is no clear statement on whether there is a common risk factor, a mediating effect, or a causal relationship between the two. The behavior of watching Mukbang videos may be in a mediating position between the two. This study will further explore the relationship between the three based on the use and satisfaction theory.
