While the correlation between parental autonomy granting and adolescents' problematic Internet use (PIU) has been confirmed, the processes underlying this connection have not been thoroughly investigated. Drawing on the ecological systems theory, this study sought to investigate the mediating mechanism of peer attachment and the moderating mechanism of school climate that link parental autonomy granting to PIU. A two-wave longitudinal design was employed with a time interval of six months. The participants were 852 adolescents who attended three middle schools located in Guangdong Province, China. Self-report questionnaires were used to obtain data on demographics, parental autonomy granting, peer attachment, school climate, and PIU. The findings indicated that peer attachment significantly mediated the link between parental autonomy granting and adolescent PIU. A positive school climate significantly moderated the influence of parental autonomy granting on peer attachment and the influence of peer attachment on PIU. Specifically, the association between parental autonomy granting and peer attachment and the association between peer attachment and PIU were more pronounced when the school climate was perceived to be positive. This research underscores the possible significance of peer attachment in the association between parental autonomy granting and PIU and offers valuable insights for mitigating the negative outcomes of PIU.
虽然父母给予自主权与青少年网络使用问题（PIU）之间的相关性已得到证实，但这种联系背后的过程尚未得到充分研究。本研究借鉴生态系统理论，试图探究同伴依恋的中介机制以及学校氛围的调节机制，这些机制将父母给予自主权与网络使用问题联系起来。采用了两波纵向设计，时间间隔为六个月。参与者是来自中国广东省三所中学的852名青少年。使用自我报告问卷来获取关于人口统计学、父母给予自主权、同伴依恋、学校氛围和网络使用问题的数据。研究结果表明，同伴依恋显著中介了父母给予自主权与青少年网络使用问题之间的联系。积极的学校氛围显著调节了父母给予自主权对同伴依恋的影响以及同伴依恋对网络使用问题的影响。具体而言，当学校氛围被认为是积极的时候，父母给予自主权与同伴依恋之间的关联以及同伴依恋与网络使用问题之间的关联更为明显。本研究强调了同伴依恋在父母给予自主权与网络使用问题关联中的可能重要性，并为减轻网络使用问题的负面结果提供了有价值的见解。
