Temperament is close to susceptibility to stress and the increased level of stress may lead problematic smartphone use (PSU). In this study, the relationships between harm avoidance (HA) as a personality trait, daily traits, and PSU in children and adolescents were investigated.
At baseline, all participants (184 children and adolescents, mean age 13.15 years) completed questionnaires on PSU using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) and the Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS). The Daily Hassles Questionnaire (DHQ) and Junior Temperament and Character Inventory (JTCI) were also administered to evaluate stress levels and personality traits. SAS-SV, SAPS, and DHQ were reassessed at 3 and 6 months.
Among JTCI temperament, HA displayed robust positive correlations with SAS-SV, SAPS, and DHQ at all time points. Mediation effects of daily stress on the relationship between HA and PSU were observed at baseline, 3, and 6 months.
The findings suggest that managing stress may important in PSU children and adolescents with high HA.
气质与应激易感性密切相关,应激水平升高可能导致问题性智能手机使用(PSU)。本研究调查了儿童和青少年中作为人格特质的回避伤害(HA)、日常特质与PSU之间的关系。
在基线时,所有参与者(184名儿童和青少年,平均年龄13.15岁)使用智能手机成瘾量表简版(SAS-SV)和韩国智能手机成瘾倾向量表(SAPS)完成关于PSU的问卷调查。还发放了日常烦恼问卷(DHQ)和青少年气质与性格量表(JTCI)以评估应激水平和人格特质。在3个月和6个月时对SAS-SV、SAPS和DHQ进行重新评估。
在JTCI气质中,HA在所有时间点与SAS-SV、SAPS和DHQ均呈现出显著的正相关。在基线、3个月和6个月时均观察到日常应激对HA与PSU之间关系的中介作用。
研究结果表明,对于HA较高的PSU儿童和青少年,管理应激可能很重要。
