Nowadays, it is widely acknowledged that mobile phone addiction is a risky factor for insomnia symptoms, but to date, people know little about the underlying relationship between them among undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the present study was to examine the potential association between mobile phone addiction and insomnia, as well as the mediating role of social anxiety and the moderating role of physical activity.
Using the Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale, Social Phobia Inventory, Physical Activity Rating Scale and Insomnia Severity Index, 301 eligible college students in China were investigated. For data analysis, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, moderating effect test, moderating effect test were carried out in turn.
The findings revealed a favorable correlation between mobile phone addiction, social anxiety and insomnia, as well as between social anxiety and insomnia. But physical activity was negatively correlated with social anxiety and mobile phone addiction, and social anxiety partially mediated the relationship between mobile phone addiction and insomnia. Additionally, physical activity played a significant moderating effect between mobile phone addiction and social anxiety.
This study advances the knowledge of how mobile phone addiction raises the likelihood of experiencing insomnia symptoms, and also implies that upping physical activity level could lessen the harmful impacts from mobile phone addiction.
如今，人们普遍认为手机成瘾是失眠症状的一个风险因素，但迄今为止，人们对在 COVID-19 大流行期间大学生群体中两者之间潜在的关系知之甚少。本研究旨在检验手机成瘾与失眠之间的潜在关联，以及社交焦虑的中介作用和身体活动的调节作用。
采用手机成瘾倾向量表、社交恐惧症量表、身体活动评定量表和失眠严重程度指数，对中国 301 名符合条件的大学生进行调查。为了进行数据分析，依次进行了描述性分析、相关性分析、调节效应检验和调节效应检验。
研究结果表明，手机成瘾、社交焦虑与失眠之间存在正相关关系，社交焦虑与失眠之间也存在正相关关系。但是，身体活动与社交焦虑和手机成瘾呈负相关，社交焦虑部分中介了手机成瘾与失眠之间的关系。此外，身体活动在手机成瘾和社交焦虑之间起着显著的调节作用。
本研究增进了对手机成瘾如何增加失眠症状发生可能性的认识，同时也表明增加身体活动水平可以减轻手机成瘾的不良影响。
