The article “The Relationship between Short Video Flow, Addiction, Serendipity, and Achievement Motivation among Chinese Vocational School Students: The Post-Epidemic Era Context” is an interesting exploration of the effects of short videos on students’ learning outcomes in the post-epidemic era.

The article is well written and provides an overview of relevant research findings from previous studies related to this topic. However, there are some potential biases that should be noted when considering its trustworthiness and reliability. Firstly, it is important to note that this study was conducted using snowball sampling which may lead to bias due to self-selection by participants who are more likely to respond positively or negatively depending on their own experiences or opinions about short videos. Secondly, it is also worth noting that this study was conducted online using the Wenjuanxing platform which may lead to bias due to technological limitations such as internet access or device availability for certain participants.
