To explore the influence and mechanism of parent-child relationship on adolescents' problematic smartphone use, a sample of 3355 Chinese adolescents ( =16.93, = 0.49, range: 14-19 years old; 48% boys) is recruited to measure parent-child relationship, problematic smartphone use, personal growth initiative, and school belonging. The results are as follows. (1) After controlling for gender, age and time spent online per day, parent-child relationship is negatively correlated with problematic smartphone use, and the negative association between parent-child relationship and problematic smartphone use is mediated by the personal growth initiative. (2) The association between parent-child relationship and problematic smartphone use, the association between parent-child relationship and personal growth initiative, and the association between personal growth initiative and problematic smartphone use are all moderated by school belonging and are stronger in adolescents with a high level of school belonging. The present study highlights the mediating role of personal growth initiative and the moderating role of school belonging in the association between parent-child relationship and problematic smartphone use. This study also contributes to a better understanding of the effects, paths, and conditions of parent-child relationship on the problematic smartphone use of adolescents and provides constructive suggestions for preventing adolescents' problematic smartphone use in the mobile Internet era.
为探讨亲子关系对青少年智能手机使用问题的影响及其机制，招募了3355名中国青少年样本（平均年龄 =16.93，标准差 = 0.49，年龄范围：14 - 19岁；48%为男孩），以测量亲子关系、智能手机使用问题、个人成长主动性和学校归属感。结果如下：（1）在控制性别、年龄和每日上网时长后，亲子关系与智能手机使用问题呈负相关，且亲子关系与智能手机使用问题之间的负相关由个人成长主动性介导。（2）亲子关系与智能手机使用问题之间的关联、亲子关系与个人成长主动性之间的关联以及个人成长主动性与智能手机使用问题之间的关联均受到学校归属感的调节，且在学校归属感水平较高的青少年中更强。本研究凸显了个人成长主动性在亲子关系与智能手机使用问题关联中的中介作用以及学校归属感的调节作用。本研究还有助于更好地理解亲子关系对青少年智能手机使用问题的影响、路径和条件，并为在移动互联网时代预防青少年智能手机使用问题提供建设性建议。
