Background and aims Based on the foundations of Bandura's social cognitive theory and theory of triadic influence (TTI) theoretical framework, this study was designed to examine the mediating role of positive outcome expectancy of Internet use in the relationship between social influence and Internet addiction (IA) in a large representative sample of senior high-school students in Taiwan. Methods Using a cross-sectional design, 1,922 participants were recruited from senior high schools throughout Taiwan using both stratified and cluster sampling, and a comprehensive survey was administered. Results Structural equation modeling and bootstrap analyses results showed that IA severity was significantly and positively predicted by social influence, and fully mediated through positive outcome expectancy of Internet use. Discussion and conclusions The results not only support Bandura's social cognitive theory and TTI framework, but can also serve as a reference to help educational agencies and mental health organizations design programs and create policies that will help in the prevention of IA among adolescents.
背景与目的 基于班杜拉的社会认知理论和三元影响理论（TTI）理论框架，本研究旨在以台湾高中生的大型代表性样本，检验互联网使用积极结果预期在社会影响与网络成瘾（IA）关系中的中介作用。方法 采用横断面设计，通过分层和整群抽样从台湾各地高中招募1922名参与者，并进行全面调查。结果 结构方程模型和Bootstrap分析结果表明，社会影响显著正向预测IA严重程度，并通过互联网使用的积极结果预期完全中介。讨论与结论 研究结果不仅支持班杜拉的社会认知理论和TTI框架，还可为教育机构和心理健康组织设计有助于预防青少年IA的项目及制定政策提供参考。
