Given that mother plays the main nurturing role in a family unit and their unique influence on children's development, the current study aimed to examine the influence of maternal phubbing on children's problematic media use and the independent and interactive moderating role of children's negative affectivity and effortful control.
Participants were 1986 children aged 3 to 6 years in Shanghai, China. Their mothers were asked to complete a series of questionnaires including parental phubbing scale, problematic media use measure, and child behavior questionnaire. To investigate the moderating influence of children's negative affectivity and effortful control, hierarchical linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS 24.0. Simple slopes analyses and the Johnson-Neyman technique were further used to depict moderation effects.
Maternal phubbing was associated with higher levels of problematic media use in preschool children ( = 0.18, <.001, [0.14, 0.22]). Children's negative affectivity acts as a risk factor, exacerbating the adverse effects of maternal phubbing on children's problematic media use ( = 0.05, = 2.69, < 0.05), whereas children's effortful control acts as a protective factor, buffering the link between maternal phubbing and children's problematic media use ( = -0.10, = -5.00, < 0.001).
These results suggest that interventions seeking to promote appropriate digital development in preschoolers should take the child's temperament into account and be complemented by active parental mediation and involvement.
鉴于母亲在家庭单元中扮演着主要的养育角色，以及她们对孩子发展的独特影响，本研究旨在考察母亲低头玩手机对孩子问题性媒体使用的影响，以及孩子消极情感和努力控制的独立和交互调节作用。
研究对象为中国上海1986名3至6岁的儿童。他们的母亲被要求完成一系列问卷，包括父母低头玩手机量表、问题性媒体使用量表和儿童行为问卷。为了考察孩子消极情感和努力控制的调节影响，使用SPSS 24.0进行分层线性回归分析。进一步采用简单斜率分析和约翰逊-奈曼技术来描述调节效应。
母亲低头玩手机与学龄前儿童更高水平的问题性媒体使用相关（β = 0.18，p <.001，[0.14, 0.22]）。孩子的消极情感是一个风险因素，会加剧母亲低头玩手机对孩子问题性媒体使用的不利影响（β = 0.05，t = 2.69，p < 0.05），而孩子的努力控制则是一个保护因素，会缓冲母亲低头玩手机与孩子问题性媒体使用之间的联系（β = -0.10，t = -5.00，p < 0.001）。
这些结果表明，旨在促进学龄前儿童适当数字发展的干预措施应考虑孩子的气质，并辅以积极的父母调解和参与。
