Mobile phone addiction is a universal phenomenon that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Previous researches revealed a significant relation between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and addiction. This study further investigated the association between ACEs and mobile phone addiction, and the mediating effects of attachment styles and interpersonal relationships. The cross-sectional design and multiple questionnaires, namely, the Revised Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire, the Mobile Phone Addiction Index, the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), and the Interpersonal Relationship Comprehensive Diagnostic Scale (IRCDS) were used in the sample of 345 university students. Correlation analysis revealed that adverse childhood experience, attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, interpersonal relationship, and mobile phone addiction were significantly positively correlated with each other. Results of regression analysis showed that attachment style and interpersonal relationship played multiple mediation roles in the association between adverse childhood experience and mobile phone addiction. That is, (1) adverse childhood experience was positively related to mobile phone addiction, (2) both attachment anxiety and interpersonal relationship played partial and parallel mediating roles between adverse childhood experience and mobile phone addiction, and (3) attachment anxiety/avoidance and interpersonal relationship mediated the relationship between adverse childhood experience and mobile phone addiction sequentially. These results indicated that mobile phone addiction among college students who had adverse childhood experience can be relieved by way of the remission of attachment anxiety, reduction of attachment avoidance, and improvement of interpersonal relationship.
手机成瘾是一种普遍现象，近年来备受关注。以往研究揭示了童年不良经历（ACEs）与成瘾之间存在显著关联。本研究进一步探讨了ACEs与手机成瘾之间的关联，以及依恋风格和人际关系的中介作用。采用横断面设计，并对345名大学生样本使用了多份问卷，即修订版童年不良经历问卷、手机成瘾指数、修订版成人依恋量表（AAS）和人际关系综合诊断量表（IRCDS）。相关分析显示，童年不良经历、依恋焦虑、依恋回避、人际关系和手机成瘾之间均呈显著正相关。回归分析结果表明，依恋风格和人际关系在童年不良经历与手机成瘾的关联中起多重中介作用。即：（1）童年不良经历与手机成瘾呈正相关；（2）依恋焦虑和人际关系在童年不良经历与手机成瘾之间均起部分平行中介作用；（3）依恋焦虑/回避和人际关系依次中介童年不良经历与手机成瘾之间的关系。这些结果表明，童年有不良经历的大学生的手机成瘾问题可通过缓解依恋焦虑、减少依恋回避和改善人际关系来减轻。
