BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Problematic Internet Use (PIU) might be a potential mental health problem. Few studies have investigated the relative contribution of individual and family factors in the development of PIU in early adolescence. The aim of the current study was to model the relationship between attachment styles, negative beliefs about worry, and PIU in early adolescence.
METHODS
Five hundred and thirty-eight Italian early adolescents (51% females, M age = 12.7 years, SD = 0.87) were included in this study. The pattern of relationships specified by the theoretical model was examined through path analysis.
RESULTS
Results showed that avoidance (mother) and anxiety (father) were directly associated with PIU. Anxiety (mother) and avoidance (father) were indirectly associated with PIU via negative beliefs about worry.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
Overall, our findings show that attachment toward mother and father are differently linked to PIU and that negative beliefs about worry may play a mediating role in the association between attachment and PIU. Findings are discussed within clinical and preventive implications.
背景与目的
网络成瘾问题（PIU）可能是一种潜在的心理健康问题。很少有研究调查个体和家庭因素在青少年早期网络成瘾发展中的相对贡献。本研究的目的是建立青少年早期依恋风格、担忧的消极信念与 PIU 之间关系的模型。
方法
本研究纳入了 538 名意大利青少年（51%为女性，M 年龄=12.7 岁，SD=0.87）。通过路径分析检验了理论模型所规定的关系模式。
结果
结果表明，回避（母亲）和焦虑（父亲）与 PIU 直接相关。焦虑（母亲）和回避（父亲）通过对担忧的消极信念与 PIU 间接相关。
讨论与结论
总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，青少年对母亲和父亲的依恋与 PIU 有不同的联系，担忧的消极信念可能在依恋与 PIU 之间的关联中发挥中介作用。研究结果在临床和预防方面进行了讨论。
