現今科技為人類社會帶來的便利生活，人們對網路的依賴性無法想像的高，可以說是賴以為生也不為過，其中人們對於在生活中獲取資訊幾乎是輕而易舉，不同以往的資訊傳遞，現代網路科技早已打破了時間與空間的限制，同時也縮短了人與人之間的距離，在我們生活周遭所發生的大小事，都可以透過社群媒體知道的一清二楚，社群媒體便是最大的功臣，可同時也是罪魁禍首。
本研究以壓力-應變-結果模式(stressor-strain-outcome)為基礎，探討錯失恐懼症、無聊傾向對社群媒體疲勞的影響作為前因，以憂鬱和焦慮作為社群媒體疲勞的後果，同時研究強迫性使用社群媒體在錯失恐懼症對社群媒體疲勞之間的中介作用。研究採用網路問卷的方式進行抽樣，並於2023年3月底完成問卷回收工作，共收回有效樣本601份，並以SEM作為研究分析方法。
研究結果發現錯失恐懼症與無聊傾向是社群媒體疲勞的主要前因，而強迫性使用社群媒體是影響錯失恐懼症、無聊傾向對社群媒體疲勞之間的關鍵中介因素。此外，本研究也進行分群分析，發現對於每天使用社群媒體超過三小時的使用者，強迫性使用社群媒體會導致憂鬱及焦慮。這些結果強調了不同年齡層使用者的特點以及在不同情境下使用社群媒體的可能影響，爾後也根據研究結果給予使用者與業者之相關建議。

The convenience brought by technology has made people heavily dependent on the internet—so much so that it has become indispensable in our daily lives. Accessing information has become nearly effortless, a far cry from traditional methods of information dissemination. Modern internet technology has long surpassed the limitations of time and space, bridging distances between people. Everything happening around us can be easily and thoroughly understood through social media. Social media, in this sense, is both the greatest contributor and the biggest culprit.
This study, based on the stressor-strain-outcome model, explores how Fear of Missing Out and boredom proneness influence social media fatigue as antecedents, with depression and anxiety as the consequences of social media fatigue. Additionally, the study investigates the mediating role of compulsive social media use between Fear of Missing Out and social media fatigue. The research was conducted using an online survey, with data collection completed by the end of March 2023. A total of 601 valid samples were collected, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used as the method of analysis.
The results show that Fear of Missing Out and boredom proneness are the main antecedents of social media fatigue, while compulsive social media use is the key mediating factor influencing the relationship between Fear of Missing Out, boredom proneness, and social media fatigue. Moreover, group analysis revealed that for users who spend more than three hours per day on social media, compulsive social media use leads to depression and anxiety. These findings highlight the characteristics of users from different age groups and the potential impacts of social media use under different circumstances. Based on these results, relevant suggestions are provided for both users and industry practitioners.
