This study is aimed at constructing a correlative model between Internet addiction and mobile phone addiction; the aim is to analyse the correlation (if any) between the two traits and to discuss the influence confirming that the gender has difference on this fascinating topic; taking gender into account opens a new world of scientific study to us. The study collected 448 college students on an island as study subjects, with 61.2% males and 38.8% females. Moreover, this study issued Mobile Phone Addiction Scale and Internet Addiction Scale to conduct surveys on the participants and adopts the structural equation model (SEM) to process the collected data. According to the study result, (1) mobile phone addiction and Internet addiction are positively related; (2) female college students score higher than male ones in the aspect of mobile addiction. Lastly, this study proposes relevant suggestions to serve as a reference for schools, college students, and future studies based on the study results.
本研究旨在构建网络成瘾与手机成瘾之间的相关模型；目的是分析这两种特质之间的相关性（若存在），并探讨性别差异对这一有趣话题的影响；考虑性别因素为我们开启了一个新的科学研究领域。该研究选取了某岛屿上的448名大学生作为研究对象，其中男性占61.2%，女性占38.8%。此外，本研究发放了手机成瘾量表和网络成瘾量表对参与者进行调查，并采用结构方程模型（SEM）对收集到的数据进行处理。根据研究结果，（1）手机成瘾与网络成瘾呈正相关；（2）在手机成瘾方面，女大学生得分高于男大学生。最后，本研究基于研究结果提出相关建议，以供学校、大学生及未来研究参考。
