Mobile phones have become an indispensable part of people's lives, and their use has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, mobile phone addiction has also become a growing concern. This study investigates how cumulative childhood trauma relates to mobile phone addiction among Chinese college students, and the subsequent role of self-esteem and self-concept clarity. A sample of Chinese college students ( = 620) were investigated using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, the Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Self-Concept Clarity Scale. The results showed that: (1) cumulative childhood trauma significantly and positively predicted mobile phone addiction among college students; (2) self-esteem mediated the association between cumulative childhood trauma and mobile phone addiction; and (3) self-esteem and self-concept clarity had a sequential mediating effect on the relationship between cumulative childhood trauma and mobile phone addiction. Thus, this study is a reminder to focus on the combined role of multiple adverse experiences and self-system factors in the intervention of mobile phone addiction.
手机已成为人们生活中不可或缺的一部分，并且在新冠疫情期间其使用情况进一步加剧。然而，手机成瘾也日益受到关注。本研究调查了中国大学生童年累积创伤与手机成瘾之间的关系，以及自尊和自我概念清晰度随后所起的作用。使用儿童创伤问卷简表、手机成瘾倾向量表、罗森伯格自尊量表和自我概念清晰度量表对620名中国大学生样本进行了调查。结果表明：（1）童年累积创伤显著正向预测大学生的手机成瘾；（2）自尊在童年累积创伤与手机成瘾之间的关联中起中介作用；（3）自尊和自我概念清晰度在童年累积创伤与手机成瘾的关系中具有顺序中介效应。因此，本研究提醒人们在手机成瘾干预中要关注多种不良经历和自我系统因素的综合作用。
