Abstract

Background and aims: Internet addiction has been linked to ADHD-related symptoms. However, the direction of the relationship and its potential for reciprocal relations is not well understood. This study examined the potential reciprocal relations between the three components of ADHD and Internet addiction, as well as the moderating effects of gender on these relations.

Methods: Using a longitudinal design, we collected data of 865 Chinese adolescents across three waves (Mage = 13.78, SD = 1.56 in wave 1), with a time interval of 6 months.

Results: Cross-lagged analyses revealed bidirectional associations between hyperactivity, inattention, impulsivity, and Internet addiction over time. Multi-group analyses did not yield any significant gender differences in these relationships.

Discussion and conclusions: These findings enhance our understanding of the complex link between ADHD components and Internet addiction and have implications for interventions aimed at reducing the prevalence of Internet addiction and ADHD.

青少年网络成瘾与多动症状之间的纵向联系。

背景和目的：网络成瘾与多动症相关症状有关联。然而，人们对这种关系的方向及其潜在的相互关系还不甚了解。本研究探讨了多动症的三个组成部分与网络成瘾之间的潜在相互关系，以及性别对这些关系的调节作用：方法：我们采用纵向设计，收集了865名中国青少年的数据，共分为三波（第一波的年龄=13.78，标准差=1.56），时间间隔为6个月：交叉滞后分析显示，多动、注意力不集中、冲动和网络成瘾之间随着时间的推移存在双向关联。多组分析没有发现这些关系中存在明显的性别差异：这些发现加深了我们对多动症成分与网络成瘾之间复杂联系的理解，并对旨在降低网络成瘾和多动症患病率的干预措施产生了影响。
