Mobile social media addiction has been a pressing issue in adolescents. The present study examined the mediation of loneliness between peer phubbing and mobile social media addiction among Chinese adolescents and tested whether gender could moderate the direct and indirect effects of peer phubbing. A total of 830 adolescents between 11 and 18 years of age ( = 14.480, = 1.789) completed an anonymous self-report survey. The results showed that peer phubbing was positively associated with mobile social media addiction. Loneliness partially mediated peer phubbing and adolescent mobile social media addiction. There were significant gender differences in the direct and indirect effects of peer phubbing on mobile social media addiction. The direct effect of peer phubbing and the indirect effect through loneliness were relatively higher in girls than in boys. The results highlight the critical role of loneliness in linking peer phubbing to adolescent mobile social media addiction and the vital role of gender in moderating the direct and indirect impacts of peer phubbing. The findings promote a better understanding of how peer phubbing is associated with adolescent mobile phone addiction and for whom the effect of peer phubbing is potent.
青少年的移动社交媒体成瘾问题日益严重。本研究考察了同伴冷落与中国青少年移动社交媒体成瘾之间孤独感的中介作用,并检验了性别是否可以调节同伴冷落的直接和间接影响。共有 830 名 11 至 18 岁的青少年( = 14.480, = 1.789)完成了匿名自我报告调查。结果表明,同伴冷落与移动社交媒体成瘾呈正相关。孤独感部分中介了同伴冷落与青少年移动社交媒体成瘾之间的关系。同伴冷落对移动社交媒体成瘾的直接和间接影响在性别上存在显著差异。同伴冷落的直接效应以及通过孤独感产生的间接效应在女孩中比男孩中更高。这些结果强调了孤独感在将同伴冷落与青少年移动社交媒体成瘾联系起来的关键作用,以及性别在调节同伴冷落的直接和间接影响方面的重要作用。这些发现有助于更好地理解同伴冷落与青少年手机成瘾的关系,以及同伴冷落对哪些人影响更大。
