Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between loneliness and hopelessness and mobile phone addiction (MPA) in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) adolescents, exploring the mediating role of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited a total of 1545 NSSI adolescents and 553 non-NSSI adolescents from over 20 specialized psychiatric hospitals across multiple provinces in China. The participants were asked to complete the Beck's Hopelessness Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Coping Style Scale, and Mobile Phone Addiction Index questionnaire. We mainly used the t-tests and structural equation model to analyze the data.

Results: T-tests showed that NSSI adolescents had lower scores on problem-focused coping and higher scores on MPA, loneliness, hopelessness, and emotion-focused coping than non-NSSI adolescents. Structural equation model showed that loneliness and hopelessness were positively related to MPA for non-NSSI adolescents. Hopelessness was positively related to MPA for NSSI adolescents. Emotion-focused coping played a mediating role in the relationship between loneliness/hopelessness and MPA for both NSSI and non-NSSI adolescents.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that NSSI adolescents with loneliness and hopelessness may have mobile phone dependence, highlighting the mediating role of emotion-focused coping style. Such findings help to understand the formation mechanism of MPA for adolescents with NSSI. Alleviating the loneliness and hopelessness and improving adaptive coping styles of adolescents with NSSI have potential implications for reducing their MPA.

非自杀性自残青少年的孤独感、无助感、应对方式和手机成瘾之间的关系。

目的：本研究旨在探讨非自杀性自伤（NSSI）青少年的孤独感和绝望感与手机成瘾（MPA）之间的关系，并探索问题集中应对和情绪集中应对的中介作用：这项横断面研究从中国多个省份的20多家精神病专科医院共招募了1545名NSSI青少年和553名非NSSI青少年。被试填写了贝克无望感量表、UCLA孤独感量表、应对方式量表和手机成瘾指数问卷。我们主要采用 t 检验和结构方程模型对数据进行分析：T检验显示，与非NSSI青少年相比，NSSI青少年的问题应对得分较低，而MPA、孤独感、无望感和情绪应对得分较高。结构方程模型显示，孤独感和绝望感与非 NSSI 青少年的 MPA 呈正相关。对于非 NSSI 青少年来说，绝望与 MPA 呈正相关。对于NSSI和非NSSI青少年来说，情绪应对在孤独感/无望感与MPA之间的关系中起着中介作用：这些研究结果表明，有孤独感和绝望感的NSSI青少年可能会对手机产生依赖，并强调了以情绪为中心的应对方式的中介作用。这些发现有助于了解 NSSI 青少年 MPA 的形成机制。缓解NSSI青少年的孤独感和绝望感，改善他们的适应性应对方式，对减少他们的MPA具有潜在的意义。
