Previous studies have identified many antecedents of smartphone addiction. However, social exclusion as a risk factor for smartphone addiction has not been widely studied, and little is known concerning the psychological mechanism underlying this association. The present study tested the influence of social exclusion on smartphone addiction as well as the mediating roles of loneliness and self-control in this relationship. An online survey was conducted, and the sample consisted of 573 university students (323 females). The results revealed that (1) social exclusion was a positive predictor of smartphone addiction; (2) loneliness and self-control separately mediated the association between social exclusion and smartphone addiction; and (3) loneliness and self-control sequentially mediated the relation between social exclusion and smartphone addiction. Possible explanations were discussed. The findings of the current study would contribute to understanding the relationships between these study variables as well as the psychological mechanisms underlying these associations.
以往的研究已经确定了智能手机成瘾的许多 antecedents。然而，社会排斥作为智能手机成瘾的一个风险因素尚未得到广泛研究，对于这种关联背后的心理机制也知之甚少。本研究测试了社会排斥对智能手机成瘾的影响以及孤独感和自我控制在这种关系中的中介作用。进行了一项在线调查，样本包括573名大学生（323名女性）。结果显示：（1）社会排斥是智能手机成瘾的一个正向预测因素；（2）孤独感和自我控制分别在社会排斥与智能手机成瘾之间起中介作用；（3）孤独感和自我控制依次在社会排斥与智能手机成瘾之间起中介作用。讨论了可能的解释。本研究的结果将有助于理解这些研究变量之间的关系以及这些关联背后的心理机制。
