Evidence supports predictive roles of adult attachment orientations for the maintenance of social networking site (SNS) addiction, but the underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown. Based on attachment theory, this study explored whether online social support and the fear of missing out mediated the relationship between insecure attachment and social networking site addiction among 463 college students in China. A questionnaire was used to collect data using the Experience in Close Relationship Scale-Short Form, online social support scale, fear of missing out scale, and Chinese Social Media Addiction Scale. The results showed that online social support and fear of missing out mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and social networking site addiction in parallel paths and serially, and online social support negatively mediated the relationship between avoidant attachment and social networking site addiction. Theoretically, the present study contributes to the field by showing how insecure attachment is linked to SNS addiction. Practically, these findings could aid in future studies on SNS addiction prevention and interventions. Limitations of the present study were discussed.
有证据支持成人依恋取向在社交网站（SNS）成瘾维持方面的预测作用，但潜在机制大多未知。基于依恋理论，本研究探讨了在线社交支持和错失恐惧是否介导了中国463名大学生不安全依恋与社交网站成瘾之间的关系。使用亲密关系体验量表简版、在线社交支持量表、错失恐惧量表和中国社交媒体成瘾量表通过问卷调查收集数据。结果表明，在线社交支持和错失恐惧在平行路径和序列中介导了焦虑依恋与社交网站成瘾之间的关系，且在线社交支持负向介导了回避型依恋与社交网站成瘾之间的关系。从理论上讲，本研究通过揭示不安全依恋与社交网站成瘾之间的联系，为该领域做出了贡献。实际上，这些发现有助于未来关于社交网站成瘾预防和干预的研究。讨论了本研究的局限性。
