This study investigates the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction, with a focus on the moderating role of social exclusion and gender, and the mediating effect of social exclusion. The main objectives were to investigate (1) whether social exclusion moderates the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction, (2) whether family life satisfaction affects game addiction indirectly through social exclusion, and (3) whether gender moderates the indirect effect of family life satisfaction on game addiction via social exclusion.
Data were collected from 423 adolescents (56.7% female, 43.3% male) aged 14-18. Participants completed the Family Life Satisfaction Scale, the Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents, and the Ostracism Experience Scale. Moderation, mediation, and conditional process analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro in SPSS.
Social exclusion significantly moderated the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction. Adolescents with lower family life satisfaction and higher levels of social exclusion exhibited greater game addiction. Social exclusion also partially mediated the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction. Gender moderated the indirect effect of family life satisfaction on game addiction through social exclusion.
These results highlight the critical roles of family dynamics, social exclusion, and gender in understanding game addiction among adolescents.
本研究调查家庭生活满意度与游戏成瘾之间的关系，重点关注社会排斥和性别的调节作用以及社会排斥的中介作用。主要目的是研究：（1）社会排斥是否调节家庭生活满意度与游戏成瘾之间的关系；（2）家庭生活满意度是否通过社会排斥间接影响游戏成瘾；（3）性别是否调节家庭生活满意度通过社会排斥对游戏成瘾的间接影响。
收集了423名年龄在14至18岁之间的青少年（56.7%为女性，43.3%为男性）的数据。参与者完成了家庭生活满意度量表、青少年游戏成瘾量表和社会排斥体验量表。使用SPSS中的PROCESS宏进行调节、中介和条件过程分析。
社会排斥显著调节了家庭生活满意度与游戏成瘾之间的关系。家庭生活满意度较低且社会排斥程度较高的青少年表现出更高的游戏成瘾程度。社会排斥也部分中介了家庭生活满意度与游戏成瘾之间的关系。性别调节了家庭生活满意度通过社会排斥对游戏成瘾的间接影响。
这些结果凸显了家庭动态、社会排斥和性别在理解青少年游戏成瘾方面的关键作用。
