Psychological resilience partially mediated this relationship, indicating that boredom proneness not only directly increased short-video addiction but also indirectly increased it by diminishing psychological resilience. Gender significantly moderated this indirect pathway. Compared with female students, boredom proneness showed a stronger negative association with psychological resilience among male students. In addition, the protective effect of psychological resilience on short-video addiction was significant only among males, but not among females. The index of moderated mediation was significant, confirming gender differences in the indirect effect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Boredom proneness influences short-video addiction through both direct and indirect pathways, and this mechanism varies by gender.
