An observational study in Mukbang, sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University. Status unknown at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-08-16.
Sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University · Observational
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.
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.

① Internet users over the age of 18； ② Be able to read and communicate in Chinese.
Other: Questionnaires set
Participants will be asked to respond to the demographic information，the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale（DASS-21）and the Internet Addiction Test（IAT）.
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.
Time frame: Baseline
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.
Time frame: Baseline
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.
