青少年同伴依恋与问题性手机使用的关系：自我建构对孤独感中介作用的调节

摘要： 为探讨青少年同伴依恋对问题性手机使用的作用过程及其机制，采用同伴依恋问卷、问题性手机使用量表、孤独感问卷以及自我建构量表对624名青少年进行调查。结果显示青少年同伴依恋通过孤独感的完全中介作用对问题性手机使用产生影响；依存型建构在孤独感与问题性手机使用之间起调节作用，独立型建构的调节作用不显著。这说明同伴依恋通过孤独感影响青少年的问题性手机使用，依存型建构可促进感到孤独的青少年使用手机。
Abstract: More and more researchers are interested in problematic mobile phone use and its detrimental impacts on adolescents’ adjustment. Most studies explore the influence of individual factors on problematic mobile phone use, such as gender, age and self-esteem. However, environmental factors are gaining increasingly attention in this field. For adolescents, peer attachment is becoming more and more important. In this study, we explored the effect of peer attachment on problematic mobile phone use and examined whether loneliness plays a mediation role on it. As people perceive themselves by different ways, the need of interpersonal relationship varies among each individual. Interdependent self-construal individuals know themselves from relationships, so they tend to care more about building up intimate relationships with others. Thus, they may maintain relationship with others by mobile phone when they feel lonely. But the independent self-construal individuals are totally different. In view of this, the present study also aimed to explore whether self-construal play a moderating role in the mediation of loneliness between peer attachment and problematic mobile phone use. In the current study, self-reported data were collected from 624 adolescents. Peer attachment was measured by the peer attachment subscale extracted from the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA). Problematic mobile phone use was assessed by the short version of Mobile Phone Use Scale. Loneliness was measured by Illinois Loneliness Questionnaire developed by Asher. The Self-Construal Scale was used to assess self-construal. All the measures attained good reliability and validity. All the data was transferred to computer and analyzed by SPSS 19.0 and M-plus 7.0. Multiple regression analysis showed that: (1) after controlling gender and age, peer attachment had a significant negative effect on adolescent problematic mobile phone use. (2) Loneliness was a fully mediator between peer attachment and problematic mobile phone use. (3) Self-construal moderated the relationship between loneliness and problematic mobile phone use. Results revealed that when adolescents feel lonely, interdependent self-construal people tent to use mobile phone much more to seek for “compensation” than adolescents with independent self-construal. These findings contribute to deepen our
