With the popularity of smartphone among Chinese college students, mobile phone addiction (MPA) is emerging a remarkable behavior problem in this population. Thus, the present study was aimed at investigating a moderated mediation model of left-behind experience (LBE) affecting MPA via social anxiety moderated by sex difference.
A total of 1268 college students (M = 20.74, SD = 2.21) were recruited to complete self-administered questionnaires of mobile phone addiction index (MPAI) and interaction anxiousness scale (IAS). The participants also reported their sex, grade, and childhood and juvenile LBE.
The results indicated that LBE increased the level of MPA among college students via mediation by social anxiety. Furthermore, sex moderated the influence of social anxiety on MPA in the mediating model. Specifically, social anxiety affects male college students more strongly than female ones in terms of MPA.
Our findings support that LBE, social anxiety, and sex difference should be critically included into consideration when performing interventions to buffer MPA among college students.
随着智能手机在中国大学生中的普及，手机成瘾在这一群体中成为一个显著的行为问题。因此，本研究旨在探讨留守经历（LBE）通过社会焦虑对手机成瘾产生影响的有调节的中介模型，其中性别差异起调节作用。
共招募了1268名大学生（M = 20.74，SD = 2.21），完成手机成瘾指数（MPAI）和交往焦虑量表（IAS）的自填式问卷。参与者还报告了他们的性别、年级以及童年和青少年时期的留守经历。
结果表明，留守经历通过社会焦虑的中介作用增加了大学生的手机成瘾水平。此外，在中介模型中，性别调节了社会焦虑对手机成瘾的影响。具体而言，在手机成瘾方面，社会焦虑对男性大学生的影响比对女性大学生的影响更强。
我们的研究结果支持，在实施干预措施以缓解大学生手机成瘾问题时，应充分考虑留守经历、社会焦虑和性别差异。
