Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Features of Watching "Mukbang" Videos	The"Mukbang" watching features will be assessed by a questionnaire designed by the researcher and recorded by the subjects themselves, including watching time, watching rate, watching preferences and watching experience.	Baseline
Primary	Mental Health	The mental health status will be assessed by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale(DASS-21),4-point Likert rating scale, which contains 21 items to describe personal recent negative emotional experience. The full scale consists of three subscales of depression, anxiety and stress, each of which contains 7 items.	Baseline
Primary	Internet Addiction	The Internet addiction risk will be assessed by the Chinese version of Young's self-rating Internet addiction scale,a total of 20 items. Each item used a 5-point Likert scale(1=rarely, 2=occasionally, 3=sometimes, 5=always), and the total score ranged from 20 to 100. The higher the score, the more serious the risk of Internet addiction.	Baseline
