  While short videos bring a lot of information and happiness to users, they
also occupy users time and short videos gradually change peoples living habits.
This paper studies the negative effects and negative emotions of users caused
by using short video platforms, as well as the users intention to continue
using the short video platform when they have negative emotions. Therefore,
this study uses flow theory and illusion of control theory to construct a
research hypothesis model and preliminarily confirms six influencing factors,
and uses sequential mixed research method to conduct quantitative and
qualitative research. The results show that users use of short video platforms
will have negative emotions and negative emotions will affect users intention
to continue to use short video platforms. This study expands the breadth and
depth of research on short videos and enriches the research of negative
emotions on the intention to continue using human computer interaction
software. Additionally, illusion of control theory is introduced into the field
of human computer interaction for the first time, which enriches the
application scenarios of control illusion theory.
