The mediation analysis was performed through Model 6 from the PROCESS macro 4.0 in SPSS 26.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Results from 2661 participants showed that antenatal depression was unrelated to social interaction of WeChat use intensity (P=.54), but was significantly positively related to the attitude toward social interaction of WeChat (P=.01). The direct effect of attitude toward social interaction of WeChat use on antenatal depression was not statistically significant (\u03b2=\u2013.03, P=.05). The results supported an indirect relationship between attitude toward social interaction of WeChat use and antenatal depression via (1) upward social comparison on social interaction of WeChat (indirect effect value=0.04, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.06); (2) rumination (indirect effect value=\u20130.02, 95% CI \u20130.04 to \u20130.01); and (3) upward social comparison on social interaction of WeChat and rumination in sequence (indirect effect value=0.07, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.08).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Our findings highlight the necessity of focusing on attitudes toward SNS use, and the importance of upward social comparison and rumination in understanding the effect of SNS use on antenatal depression.<\/jats:p>\n
