چکیده
در عصر اطلاعات، انباشت بی‌رویه داده‌های دیجیتال به یک چالش جدی تبدیل شده است. این پژوهش با هدف بررسی عوامل روان‌شناختی مؤثر بر احتکار دیجیتالی، به ویژه در میان دانشجویان، انجام شد. با استفاده از مدل‌یابی معادلات ساختاری بر روی داده‌های 413 دانشجو از دانشگاه‌های خلیج فارس و علامه طباطبایی، رابطه بین شناختارهای احتکاری، دشواری تنظیم هیجان و احتکار دیجیتالی مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. نمونه‌گیری به روش در دسترس بود و برای جمع‌آوری داده‌ها از پرسشنامه‌های احتکار دیجیتالی (نیو و همکاران، 2019)، شناختارهای احتکاری (استکتی و همکاران، 2003) و مقیاس دشواری تنظیم هیجان (گرتز و روئمر، 2004) استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که شناختارهای احتکاری نقش محوری در پیش‌بینی احتکار دیجیتالی ایفا می‌کنند ( ). دانشجویانی که باورهای نادرستی در مورد ارزش اطلاعات دیجیتال داشته و دشواری در دورانداختن آن‌ها را تجربه می‌کردند، تمایل بیشتری به انباشت بی‌رویه داده‌ها داشتند. همچنین، تعامل پیچیده‌ای بین شناختارهای احتکاری و دشواری تنظیم هیجان مشاهده شد. هرچند دشواری تنظیم هیجان به تنهایی تأثیر مستقیمی بر احتکار دیجیتالی نداشت ( )، اما در تعامل با شناختارهای احتکاری، نقش تعدیل‌کننده‌ داشت ( )؛ یعنی با افزایش دشواری تنظیم هیجان، تأثیر شناختارهای احتکاری بر احتکار دیجیتالی افزایش می‌یافت به‌طوری‌که افرادی که هم‌زمان دارای شناختارهای احتکاری قوی و مشکلات در تنظیم هیجانات خود بودند، بیشتر مستعد احتکار دیجیتال بودند. این پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که برای مقابله با مشکل رو به رشد احتکار دیجیتالی، باید به طور همزمان بر تغییر باورهای ناکارآمد و بهبود مهارت‌های تنظیم هیجان تمرکز کنیم. نتایج این مطالعه به درک عمیق‌تری از مکانیسم‌های روان‌شناختی زیربنایی احتکار دیجیتالی کمک کرده و می‌تواند در طراحی مداخلات درمانی موثر برای این اختلال مفید واقع شود.

چکیده English

In the information age, the excessive accumulation of digital data has become a significant challenge. This research aimed to investigate the psychological factors influencing digital hoarding, particularly among university students. Using structural equation modeling on data from 413 students at Persian Gulf and Allameh Tabatabaei Universities, the relationship between saving cognitions, emotion regulation difficulties, and digital hoarding was examined. A convenience sampling method was employed, and data was collected using the Digital Hoarding Scale (Neave et al., 2019), Saving Cognitions Scale (Steketee et al., 2003), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). The results revealed that hoarding cognitions play a pivotal role in predicting digital hoarding (Β=0.623, P<0.001). Students who held inaccurate beliefs about the value of digital information and experienced difficulty discarding it were more likely to excessively accumulate data. Moreover, a complex interaction between saving cognitions and emotion regulation difficulties was observed. Although emotion regulation difficulties did not have a direct impact on digital hoarding (Β=-0.011, P<0.848), it served as a moderating role when interacting with saving cognitions (Β=-0.147, P=0.022); This means that as the difficulty in emotion regulation increased, the impact of hoarding cognitions on digital hoarding intensified, such that individuals who had both strong hoarding cognitions and difficulties in emotion regulation were more prone to digital hoarding. This research indicates that to address the growing problem of digital hoarding, it is necessary to simultaneously focus on changing maladaptive beliefs and improving emotion regulation skills. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying psychological mechanisms of digital hoarding and can be useful in designing effective therapeutic interventions for this disorder.
