The present study examined the longitudinal association among the Big Five personality traits, maladaptive cognitions, and Internet addiction during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 481 Chinese university students (247 men; mean age = 20.31 years) were surveyed three times (interval of 1 month) by using the Chinese version of the Big Five Personality Traits Scale, Maladaptive Cognitions Scale, and Internet Addiction Scale. The results of a cross-lagged panel analysis highlighted that (i) extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness were negatively associated with maladaptive cognitions and Internet addiction, whereas neuroticism was found to be positively associated with maladaptive cognitions and Internet addiction across time; (ii) associations among the Big Five personality traits, maladaptive cognitions, and Internet addiction were dynamic and bidirectional; and (iii) maladaptive cognitions played mediating roles in extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and Internet addiction across time. The Big Five personality traits, maladaptive cognitions, and Internet addiction predicted each other across time, and maladaptive cognitions were likely to be the key mediating factor in the associations between the Big Five personality traits and Internet addiction, which supported and expanded the Davis' cognitive-behavioral model.
本研究考察了新冠疫情期间大五人格特质、适应不良认知与网络成瘾之间的纵向关联。共有481名中国大学生（247名男性；平均年龄 = 20.31岁）参与了三次调查（间隔1个月），使用的量表包括中文版大五人格特质量表、适应不良认知量表和网络成瘾量表。交叉滞后面板分析结果表明：（i）外向性、宜人性、尽责性和开放性与适应不良认知及网络成瘾呈负相关，而神经质在各时间段与适应不良认知及网络成瘾呈正相关；（ii）大五人格特质、适应不良认知和网络成瘾之间的关联是动态且双向的；（iii）适应不良认知在各时间段外向性、宜人性、尽责性、开放性与网络成瘾之间起中介作用。大五人格特质、适应不良认知和网络成瘾在各时间段相互预测，且适应不良认知可能是大五人格特质与网络成瘾之间关联的关键中介因素，这支持并扩展了戴维斯的认知行为模型。
