- Gender‐Specific Networks in the Relationship Between Time Perspective and Short‐Form Video Addiction Among Chinese Adolescents (2026) · International Journal of Psychology · cited 1× · doi
The associations between time perspective and short-form video addiction at the symptom and dimensional levels, particularly gender differences, remain underexplored. Prior studies have treated time perspective and short-form video addiction as unitary variables. There is a need for longitudinal evidence to reveal the temporal associations between short-form video addiction and time perspective.
