    This cross-sectional study looked at short-form video use, attentional impulsivity, and school misbehavior in 839 Chinese adolescents. Attentional impulsivity was positively associated with short-form video use, and both were positively related to school misbehavior. Active parental media mediation was reported to mediate the relationship between attentional impulsivity and school misbehavior.

    In a survey of over 1,000 university students in Jordan, half showed moderate to high signs of short-video addiction. Students with higher addiction scores reported more memory problems, partly through weaker attention, and tended to have lower grades. The study cannot tell which came first.
