Perceptions of one’s socioeconomic condition are associated with subjective socioeconomic status (SSS) and relative depriva- tion (RD). SSS involves comparing oneself to society, whereas RD entails comparison with others who are similar and in- cludes an emotional component. We examined the role of SSS and RD in three technology addiction subtypes (i.e., video games, pornography, and online gambling) and determined the mediating role of shame. A total of 657 Korean young adults aged 19-34 years participated (51.0% women). RD showed significant positive associations with all technology addiction sub- types, whereas SSS showed no significant associations. Shame significantly mediated the associations of SSS and RD with technology addiction subtypes. Lower SSS and higher RD were associated with higher shame levels, which were related to se- vere technology addiction. Socioeconomic perceptions and emotions have intertwined roles in pathways to technology ad- diction. Therefore, a multifaceted approach is required to ensure effective prevention and intervention.
This study examined how resilience and community resilience moderate and mediate the relationship between perceived stress and mental health (depression, anxiety, and anger) among adults in their 20s during the COVID-19 pandemic. An on- line survey of 229 participants was analyzed using SPSS Windows software version 23.0 for descriptive and correlation statis- tics, while PROCESS Macro (version 3.3) was employed to assess the moderated mediation effects. The results indicated sig- nificant correlations among all variables, with resilience mediating the relationship between perceived stress and mental health. Community resilience significantly moderated the relationship between resilience and mental health. The moderated mediation effect was also significant, suggesting that community resilience influences how resilience mediates the effect of perceived stress on mental health. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening community resilience to enhance mental health outcomes. Based on the results, the study`s strengths, limitations, and suggestions were discussed.
