The impact of internet use on quality of life (QoL) has become an increasing focus of academic research. This paper aims to explore the internal influencing mechanisms of internet use (i.e., leisure-oriented internet use (LIU); work-oriented internet use (WIU)) on QoL, with a focus on the multiple mediating effects of risk perception and internet addiction. We constructed a theoretical framework from a psychological perspective and tested the hypotheses using hierarchical regression analysis with a sample of 1535 participants. The results showed that: (1) LIU had a positive effect on QoL, while WIU did not have a significant impact on QoL; (2) both risk perception and internet addiction had a negative influence on QoL; (3) risk perception positively impacted internet addiction; (4) risk perception and internet addiction had multiple mediating effects on the relationship between internet use and QoL.
互联网使用对生活质量(QoL)的影响已成为学术研究的一个热点。本文旨在探讨互联网使用(即休闲导向型互联网使用(LIU);工作导向型互联网使用(WIU))对 QoL 的内在影响机制,重点关注风险感知和网络成瘾的多重中介效应。我们从心理学角度构建了一个理论框架,并使用层次回归分析对 1535 名参与者的样本进行了假设检验。结果表明:(1)LIU 对 QoL 有积极影响,而 WIU 对 QoL 没有显著影响;(2)风险感知和网络成瘾都对 QoL 有负面影响;(3)风险感知对网络成瘾有积极影响;(4)风险感知和网络成瘾对互联网使用与 QoL 之间的关系具有多重中介效应。
