Internet addiction has been linked to ADHD-related symptoms. However, the direction of the relationship and its potential for reciprocal relations is not well understood. This study examined the potential reciprocal relations between the three components of ADHD and Internet addiction, as well as the moderating effects of gender on these relations.
Using a longitudinal design, we collected data of 865 Chinese adolescents across three waves (Mage = 13.78, SD = 1.56 in wave 1), with a time interval of 6 months.
Cross-lagged analyses revealed bidirectional associations between hyperactivity, inattention, impulsivity, and Internet addiction over time. Multi-group analyses did not yield any significant gender differences in these relationships.
These findings enhance our understanding of the complex link between ADHD components and Internet addiction and have implications for interventions aimed at reducing the prevalence of Internet addiction and ADHD.
网络成瘾与 ADHD 相关症状有关。然而，这种关系的方向及其相互关系的潜在可能性尚不清楚。本研究考察了 ADHD 的三个成分与网络成瘾之间的潜在相互关系，以及性别对这些关系的调节作用。
采用纵向设计，我们在三个时间点（第 1 波时的平均年龄为 13.78 岁，标准差为 1.56）收集了 865 名中国青少年的数据，时间间隔为 6 个月。
交叉滞后分析显示，过度活跃、注意力不集中、冲动与网络成瘾之间存在双向关联。多组分析没有发现这些关系存在任何显著的性别差异。
这些发现增强了我们对 ADHD 成分与网络成瘾之间复杂联系的理解，对旨在降低网络成瘾和 ADHD 发生率的干预措施具有启示意义。
