Abstract


The study investigates the complex dynamics among these variables within a cohort of 894 Chinese undergraduates, comprising 46.7% males and 53.3% females, spanning various academic levels. Employing robust measurement tools, including the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS), Sleep Quality Scale (SQS), and Social Media Fatigue Scale (SMFS), the research delineates significant findings. The descriptive analysis reveals elevated levels of compulsive internet use, which is positively correlated with sleep quality (r=.316, p<.01) and moderately with social media fatigue (r=.217, p<.01). Cross tabulation analysis uncovers gender disparities, with males exhibiting higher compulsive internet use but marginally better sleep quality, while social media fatigue remains relatively balanced across genders. Furthermore, a progression is noted across academic levels, with seniors displaying the highest compulsive internet use and social media fatigue, coupled with a slight decline in sleep quality. Linear regression analyses underscore the predictive significance of compulsive internet use on both sleep quality (R²=.662) and social media fatigue (R²=.463), highlighting the intricate bidirectional influences. This study contributes nuanced insights into the dual impacts of digital media consumption, emphasizing the necessity for gender-specific and academic level-targeted interventions to mitigate adverse outcomes. The overarching aim is to foster a deeper understanding of these dynamics to inform the development of effective strategies for managing digital consumption, thereby promoting healthier living in our increasingly connected world.
