Short-video addiction (SVA) has become a growing concern among adolescents. Bullying victimization (BV) is considered significant factor contributing to it, yet its relationship with SVA remains underexplored. This study investigated the role of BV in SVA, examining developmental and psychological pathways across middle school students (MSS; n = 1269), college (CS; 1615) replicated sample (RCS; 112). Descriptive statistics revealed correlations between BV, including subdimensions such as verbal, physical relational bullying, well negative affect (NA). Mediation analyses showed that NA partially mediated both MSS CS groups, although mediation effects were absent addicted subgroups, highlighting differing nonaddicted populations. Neuroimaging RCS identified spontaneous functional brain activity linked inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) parahippocampal (PHG), intersubject representational similarity (IS-RSA) further associating PHG dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) patterns variations SVA. These findings underscore bullying critical predictor short video addiction, by illuminate associated addiction.
