doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2022.02.007

Abstract

Abstract: A six-month follow-up study was conducted on 1,222 adolescents to explore the inter-predictive relationships between parental autonomy support, parental psychological control, and adolescent Internet addiction. The results showed that: 1) Parental autonomy support was negatively related to Internet addiction in both pre-and post-test. 2) Parental psychological control was positively related to Internet addiction in both pre-and post-test. 3) Pre-test parental autonomy support predicted post-test Internet addiction, and pre-test Internet addiction also predicted post-test parental autonomy support. 4) Pre-test parental psychological control predicted post-test Internet addiction, but pre-test Internet addiction did not significantly predict post-test parental psychological control. This study reveals the interaction between parental factors and adolescent Internet addiction behavior, which has practical implications for improving adolescent Internet addiction.

摘要： 对1222名青少年进行六个月的追踪测查，以探讨父母自主支持、父母心理控制和青少年网络成瘾之间的相互预测关系。结果表明：（1）前、后测父母自主支持均与网络成瘾呈负相关。（2）前、后测父母心理控制均与网络成瘾呈正相关。（3）前测父母自主支持可以预测后测网络成瘾，前测网络成瘾也可以预测后测父母自主支持。（4）前测父母心理控制可以预测后测网络成瘾，但前测网络成瘾不能显著预测后测父母心理控制。本研究揭示了父母因素与青少年行为之间的相互作用，这对改善青少年网络成瘾有一定的实践意义。
