A lot of previous research has highlighted the negative consequences of Internet addiction. However, relatively few is known about the underlying mechanism for Internet addiction among college students in relation to family function. The present study explored the relationship between family function and Internet addiction among college students, as well as the mediating effects of alexithymia and loneliness. A sample of 783 Chinese college students were administered a number of psychometric scales including the "General Function" subscale of the Chinese version of the Family Assessment Device, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Revised Chinese Internet Addiction Scale. The results showed that family function was negatively associated with Internet addiction; the association was significantly mediated by alexithymia; the association was significantly mediated by loneliness; and alexithymia and loneliness sequentially mediated the association. The total mediating effect was 63.96%. The results of the present study are of great significance to the prevention and intervention of Internet addiction among college students.
此前许多研究都强调了网络成瘾的负面后果。然而，关于大学生网络成瘾与家庭功能相关的潜在机制，人们所知相对较少。本研究探讨了大学生家庭功能与网络成瘾之间的关系，以及述情障碍和孤独感的中介作用。对783名中国大学生样本进行了多项心理测量量表测试，包括中文版家庭评估设备的“总体功能”子量表、多伦多述情障碍量表、加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独感量表和修订版中文网络成瘾量表。结果表明，家庭功能与网络成瘾呈负相关；这种关联通过述情障碍显著中介；这种关联通过孤独感显著中介；述情障碍和孤独感依次中介了这种关联。总中介效应为63.96%。本研究结果对大学生网络成瘾的预防和干预具有重要意义。
