Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the Bayesian network of harsh parenting, experiential avoidance, and adolescent short video addiction risk, identify key nodes, and provide precise recommendations for intervention. METHODS: In March 2025, the Harsh Parenting Scale, Experiential Avoidance Scale, and Short Video Addiction Scale were administered to 1 594 adolescents. Network analysis was performed using JASP 0.95.4, and key nodes were identified via centrality estimation. RESULTS: The core nodes of harsh parenting, experiential avoidance, and short video addiction risk were "I am hit with hands or kicked when I do something wrong or make my parents angry" (expected influence = 0.301), "Certain feelings make me feel scared" (expected influence = 0.684), and "Withdrawal" (expected influence = 1.222), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions targeting these key nodes serve as an important reference for mitigating the impact of harsh parenting, experiential avoidance, and short video addiction risk on adolescents.
