Zhongyong Thinking Style and Internet Addiction of College Students: Serial Mediating Effect of Social Support and Loneliness

Abstract

Abstract: In order to investigate the impact of Zhongyong thinking style on Internet addiction as well as the serial mediating effect of social support and loneliness, 490 college students were recruited to complete Zhongyong Thinking Style Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Internet Addiction Scale. The results showed that:1) Zhongyong thinking style was positively correlated with social support, and negatively correlated with loneliness and Internet addiction; social support was negatively correlated with loneliness and Internet addiction; and loneliness was positively correlated with Internet addiction. 2) Zhongyong thinking style affected Internet addiction not only directly, but also indirectly through three paths, that is, the mediator of social support, the mediator of loveliness, and the serial mediating role of both social support and loneliness. These findings suggest that Zhongyong thinking style has a certain inhibitory effect on Internet addiction, which is formed through the combined action of interpersonal factor (e.g. social support) and emotional factor (e.g. loneliness).

Key words: college students, Zhongyong thinking style, social support, loneliness, Internet addiction

摘要： 探讨中庸思维对大学生网络成瘾的影响及其作用机制，采用中庸思维量表、领悟社会支持量表、UCLA孤独感量表和网络成瘾量表对490名大学生进行调查。结果显示：（1）中庸思维与社会支持呈显著正相关，与孤独感、网络成瘾呈显著负相关；社会支持与孤独感、网络成瘾呈显著负相关；孤独感与网络成瘾呈显著正相关；（2）中庸思维不仅直接影响网络成瘾，而且存在三条间接路径：社会支持的单独中介作用；孤独感的单独中介作用；社会支持和孤独感的序列中介作用。上述结果表明，中庸思维对网络成瘾具有一定抑制效应，且这种效应是通过人际因素（社会支持）和情绪因素（孤独感）共同作用形成的。
