Abstract

 Interpersonal skills, empathy and psychological capital are important factors affecting the social development of college students with social media addiction. A standardized questionnaire was used to survey 1000 college students from 6 different universities in Anhui Province, China. This paper proposes an intervention scheme to improve the interpersonal skills, empathy skills and psychological capital of college students with social media addiction. From the perspectives of school system construction, family and teachers, some guiding suggestions are put forward to improve the behavior of college students with social media addiction, and provide support for college students with social media addiction to better adapt to society and have healthier social relations. The results show that the interpersonal skills, empathy and psychological capital of college students with social media addiction are generally poor. Gender and level of social media addiction have significant effects on empathy, while grade, major and school type have no significant effects on empathy ability. Age has significant influence on interpersonal skills, while gender, grade, major, school type and level of social media addiction have no significant influence on interpersonal skills. Gender and major have significant influence on psychological capital, but age, grade and school type have no significant influence on psychological capital. In addition, the results show that the interpersonal skills, empathy and psychological capital of college students with social media addiction are related. On this basis, a set of intervention schemes to improve the interpersonal skills, empathy and psychological capital of college students with social media addiction are proposed.
