Anxious attachment orientation has a well document relationship with problematic social networking use. Additionally, the fear of missing out and satisfaction with life have emerged as robust predictors of problematic social networking use. However, it remains unclear how these determinants may converge to promote problematic social networking use. Thus, the current study examined how anxious attachment, fear of missing out, and satisfaction with life concurrently influence problematic social networking use. One hundred and eighty-eight participants were recruited from online dissertation swap sites to complete an online questionnaire. The mean age of the sample was 31.95 (SD = 11.54) and 67% were female. As expected, anxious attachment was positively related to problematic social networking use. Further analysis indicated the relationship between anxious attachment and problematic social networking use was mediated by fear of missing out, and this relationship was moderated by satisfaction with life. These findings indicate that engendering greater levels of life satisfaction in those who engage in problematic social networking could present a viable prevention or treatment strategy.
焦虑型依恋取向与问题性社交网络使用有着密切的关系。此外，错失恐惧和生活满意度已成为预测问题性社交网络使用的强有力指标。然而，这些决定因素如何汇聚以促进问题性社交网络使用仍不清楚。因此，本研究考察了焦虑型依恋、错失恐惧和生活满意度如何同时影响问题性社交网络使用。从在线论文交换网站招募了 188 名参与者完成在线问卷。样本的平均年龄为 31.95（SD=11.54），其中 67%为女性。正如预期的那样，焦虑型依恋与问题性社交网络使用呈正相关。进一步的分析表明，焦虑型依恋与问题性社交网络使用之间的关系受到错失恐惧的中介作用，而这种关系受到生活满意度的调节。这些发现表明，在那些有问题性社交网络使用习惯的人中，提高生活满意度可能是一种可行的预防或治疗策略。
