Abstract

Based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution model and the risk-buffering model, the current study explored how and when rumination increases problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) among Chinese female freshmen. Specifically, we investigated the underlying mechanism of PMPU by testing a moderated mediation model in which solitude capacity moderated the mediating role of fear of missing out (FoMO) in the relationship between rumination and PMPU. A sample of 1,389 female freshmen in China, with a mean age of 19.68 years (SD = 2.63), was surveyed using the Rumination Response Scale, Fear of Missing Out Scale, Solitude Capacity Scale, and Mobile Phone Addiction Index. Mediation analysis indicated that rumination increases female freshmen’s PMPU by heightening FoMO. Moderated mediation analysis further demonstrated that high capacity for solitude mitigated the adverse effects of FoMO on PMPU among female freshmen, whereas low capacity for solitude exacerbates the negative impact of FoMO on PMPU in this group. This study highlights the mediating and moderating mechanisms linking rumination to PMPU. More importantly, it has significant implications for the prevention and intervention of PMPU among female freshmen.

反刍对大一女生使用问题手机的影响：调节中介模型

本研究基于 "人-影响-认知-执行 "互动模型和风险缓冲模型，探讨了 "反刍 "如何以及何时增加中国女新生的问题手机使用（PMPU）。具体来说，我们通过检验一个调节中介模型来研究 PMPU 的内在机制，在该模型中，独处能力调节了 "害怕错过"（FoMO）在反刍与 PMPU 关系中的中介作用。研究使用反刍反应量表、害怕缺失量表、独处能力量表和手机成瘾指数对 1389 名中国女新生进行了调查，她们的平均年龄为 19.68 岁（SD = 2.63）。中介分析表明，反刍会通过提高 FoMO 来增加女新生的 PMPU。调节中介分析进一步表明，高独处能力减轻了 FoMO 对女新生 PMPU 的不利影响，而低独处能力则加剧了 FoMO 对该群体 PMPU 的负面影响。这项研究强调了反刍与 PMPU 之间的中介和调节机制。更重要的是，它对预防和干预女新生的 PMPU 具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
