Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between rejection sensitivity, meaning in life, self-stigma, and pathological Internet use among left-behind middle school students. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 803 left-behind middle school students in 20 middle schools of one province by using Self-reported Questionnaire for Adolescents’ Rejection Sensitivity, Meaning in Life Questionnaire Chinese version, Self-reported Questionnaire for Left-behind Children’s Self-Stigma, and Adolescent Pathological Internet Use Scale. The results showed that: 1) rejection sensitivity positively predicted pathological Internet use directly; 2) the presence of meaning, self-stigma and its chain partially mediated the relationship between rejection sensitivity and pathological Internet use. The results provide a theoretical basis both for interpreting the cause of left-behind middle school students’ pathological Internet use problem and for its educational intervention.
