Low self-esteem is an important factor influencing mobile phone addiction, which has been well documented. However, little research focused on the mechanism underlying the association between self-esteem and mobile phone addiction. We hypothesized that social anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity may mediate the relationship between self-esteem and mobile phone addiction. Six hundred and fifty three (353 girls among them) college students with the mean age of 19.94 (SD = 1.34) were recruited for the study. Participants completed mobile phone addiction scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the social anxiety questionnaire and interpersonal sensitivity subscale of SCL-90. The findings were as follows: 1) interpersonal sensitivity mediated the relation between self-esteem and mobile phone addiction. 2) social anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity sequentially mediated the relation between self-esteem and mobile phone addiction. The result reveals that self-esteem has indirect effect on mobile phone addiction, which is mediated by social anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity.
自尊是影响手机成瘾的一个重要因素,这一点已有充分的文献记载。然而,很少有研究关注自尊和手机成瘾之间关联的潜在机制。我们假设社交焦虑和人际敏感可能在自尊和手机成瘾之间的关系中起中介作用。本研究共招募了 653 名(其中 353 名为女生)大学生,平均年龄为 19.94(SD=1.34)。参与者完成了手机成瘾量表、罗森伯格自尊量表、社交焦虑问卷和 SCL-90 人际敏感分量表。研究结果如下:1)人际敏感在自尊和手机成瘾之间起中介作用。2)社交焦虑和人际敏感依次在自尊和手机成瘾之间起中介作用。结果表明,自尊对手机成瘾有间接影响,这种影响是通过社交焦虑和人际敏感来介导的。
