As the rapid expanding of internet technology, it is necessary to pay attention to the factors that predict Internet addiction. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal impact of reinforcement sensitivity on internet addiction among college students and the mediating role of self-control.
The study involves two follow-up assessments with a 5-month interval. 383 college students' reinforcement sensitivity, self-control, and internet addiction were measured at two-time points.
①The revised Behavioral Approach System (r-BAS) at Time Point 1 (T1) could predict both T1 and Time Point 2 (T2) internet addiction through the complete mediation of T1 self-control. ②The revised Behavioral Inhibition System (r-BIS) at T1, along with the Fight/Flight/Freeze System (FFFS), can predict T1 and T2 internet addiction through the partial mediation of T1 self-control.
Reinforcement sensitivity can predict current and future internet addiction, with self-control playing a mediating role. This study provides longitudinal experimental evidence for the revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (r-RST), further revealing the underlying mechanisms through which reinforcement sensitivity influences internet addiction. Additionally, it has implications for clinical intervention.
随着互联网技术的迅速发展，有必要关注预测网络成瘾的因素。本研究旨在探讨强化敏感性对大学生网络成瘾的纵向影响以及自我控制的中介作用。
本研究包括两次间隔5个月的随访评估。在两个时间点对383名大学生的强化敏感性、自我控制和网络成瘾进行了测量。
①时间点1（T1）的修订版行为激活系统（r-BAS）可通过T1自我控制的完全中介作用预测T1和时间点2（T2）的网络成瘾。②T1时的修订版行为抑制系统（r-BIS）与战斗/逃跑/冻结系统（FFFS）一起，可通过T1自我控制的部分中介作用预测T1和T2的网络成瘾。
强化敏感性可以预测当前和未来的网络成瘾，自我控制起中介作用。本研究为修订版强化敏感性理论（r-RST）提供了纵向实验证据，进一步揭示了强化敏感性影响网络成瘾的潜在机制。此外，它对临床干预也有启示意义。
