Smartphones have become an important tool for college students' study and life, but mobile phone addiction caused by excessive dependence use of cell phones can have serious negative impacts on college students' mental health, life behaviors, and so on. It is urgent to explore the causes and influence mechanisms of college students' cell phone addiction.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical exercise and mobile phone addiction among Chinese college students and the mediating role of negative affect and e-health literacy between the two.
The stratified sampling method was used to investigate the physical activity, mobile phone addiction, negative emotion and e-health literacy of 4621 university students in Jiangsu Province using the Physical Activity Rating scale, Mobile Phone Addiction scale, Depression-anxiety-stress scale and E-Health Literacy scale, Thus the data were statistically analysed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 23.0.
(1) Physical exercise was significantly negatively correlated with mobile phone addiction and negative emotion among college students (=-.713, <0.01; =-.571, <0.01), and physical exercise was significantly positively correlated with e-health literacy (=0.616, <0.01); (2) Negative emotion and e-health literacy played independent mediating roles between physical exercise and mobile phone addiction, respectively; (3) Negative emotion and e-health literacy played chain mediating roles between physical exercise and mobile phone addiction.
This study explored the potential mechanisms of cell phone addiction in college students and found that physical activity can influence Internet addiction through the independent mediating effect including the chain mediating effect of negative emotions and e-health literacy. This study further reveals the mechanism of action of physical exercise affecting college students' cell phone addiction, and provides some reference value for the prevention and intervention of college students cell phone addiction.
智能手机已成为大学生学习和生活的重要工具，但因过度依赖手机使用导致的手机成瘾会对大学生的心理健康、生活行为等产生严重负面影响。探索大学生手机成瘾的成因及影响机制迫在眉睫。
本研究旨在探讨中国大学生体育锻炼与手机成瘾之间的关系，以及二者之间消极情绪和电子健康素养的中介作用。
采用分层抽样法，运用体育活动量表、手机成瘾量表、抑郁-焦虑-压力量表和电子健康素养量表，对江苏省4621名大学生的体育活动、手机成瘾、消极情绪和电子健康素养进行调查，并用SPSS 26.0和AMOS 23.0对数据进行统计分析。
（1）体育锻炼与大学生手机成瘾和消极情绪显著负相关（=-0.713，<0.01；=-0.571，<0.01），与电子健康素养显著正相关（=0.616，<0.01）；（2）消极情绪和电子健康素养分别在体育锻炼与手机成瘾之间起独立中介作用；（3）消极情绪和电子健康素养在体育锻炼与手机成瘾之间起链式中介作用。
本研究探讨了大学生手机成瘾的潜在机制，发现体育活动可通过消极情绪和电子健康素养的独立中介作用（包括链式中介作用）影响网络成瘾。本研究进一步揭示了体育锻炼影响大学生手机成瘾的作用机制，为大学生手机成瘾的预防和干预提供了一定参考价值。
