Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study examines how perceived stress contributes to social anxiety in junior high school students through the chain mediating roles of psychological inflexibility and problematic social media use. The research, involving 682 adolescents, suggests that stress leads to psychological inflexibility, which increases problematic social media use, ultimately exacerbating social anxiety symptoms. The authors present these findings as a theoretical perspective for developing targeted mental health interventions in schools and families.
