The Effect of Left-Behind Children and Adolescents’ Family Cumulative Risk on Internet Addiction: A Moderated Mediation Model

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2024.06.010

Abstract

Abstract:

Based on Ecological Systems theory and the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution theory, the study examined the relationship between family cumulative risk and internet addiction as well as the roles of negative emotions and adversity beliefs in it by using a questionnaire method to investigate 2077 left-behind children and adolescents in the city of Lechang. The key results showed that: 1) family cumulative risk positively predicted internet addiction; 2) negative emotions fully mediated family cumulative risk and internet addiction; 3) adversity beliefs moderated the first and second halves of the mediating effect; 4) the moderating effect of adversity beliefs exhibited gender differences. For boys, adversity beliefs only moderated the first half of the mediation pathway, while for girls, adversity beliefs moderated the second half. These results provide some insights for the prevention and intervention of internet addiction in left-behind children and adolescents.

Key words: left-behind children and adolescents, family cumulative risk, internet addiction, negative emotions, adversity beliefs

摘要：

研究以生态系统理论和人格−情感−认知−执行交互模型理论为基础，考察家庭累积风险与网络成瘾的关系以及负性情绪和逆境信念在其中的作用，采用问卷法对乐昌市2077名留守儿童青少年进行调查。结果发现：(1)家庭累积风险正向预测网络成瘾；(2)负性情绪在家庭累积风险与网络成瘾中起完全中介作用；(3)逆境信念分别调节中介的前后半段路径；(4)逆境信念的调节效应存在性别差异，男生中逆境信念仅调节中介效应的前半路径，而女生中则调节中介效应的后半路径。研究为留守儿童青少年网络成瘾的预防与干预提供了一定的启示。
