Abstract

Problematic mobile phone use is characterized by its “impulsive” nature; users engage in it despite their negative attitude toward it. From a behavioral-economic perspective, this attitude–behavior discrepancy is generated by competing contingencies that involve smaller-sooner social reinforcers associated with mobile phone use and larger-later prosocial reinforcers potentially compromised by phone use. Based on this conceptualization, the reinforcer-pathology model of problematic mobile phone use is proposed, which posits that such phone use stems from excessive delay discounting of the social and prosocial reinforcers and/or excessive demand for the social reinforcers. A secondary data analysis of previously published studies was conducted, with the novel addition of principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis of these data. The results generated evidence that supports the reinforcer-pathology model proposed in this article. Based on the theoretical analyses and accumulated empirical evidence, theory-driven prevention and intervention strategies for problematic mobile phone use are proposed. Overall, the reinforcer-pathology model of problematic mobile phone use provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing this growing issue.

有问题的手机使用是一种冲动性选择:强化剂-病理学模型的开发与经验验证。
有问题的手机使用具有 "冲动 "的特点;用户尽管对手机使用持负面态度,但仍会使用手机。从行为经济学的角度来看,这种态度与行为之间的差异是由相互竞争的或然因素造成的,这些或然因素涉及与手机使用相关的较小较快的社会强化物,以及可能因手机使用而受损的较大较晚的亲社会强化物。基于这一概念,我们提出了问题手机使用的强化物-病理学模型,该模型认为,手机的使用源于对社交强化物和亲社会强化物的过度延迟折现和/或对社交强化物的过度需求。我们对以前发表的研究进行了二次数据分析,并对这些数据进行了新颖的主成分分析和分层聚类分析。分析结果为本文提出的强化物-病理学模型提供了支持证据。根据理论分析和积累的经验证据,提出了针对问题手机使用的理论驱动的预防和干预策略。总之,问题手机使用的强化物-病理学模型为理解和解决这一日益严重的问题提供了一个全面的框架。
