Abstract

Despite the exploration of detrimental consequences of parental phubbing and adolescent social networking site (SNS) addiction, research regarding their bidirectional relationships and underlying mechanisms is lacking. To address this research gap, the present study explored the longitudinal and bidirectional relationships between parental phubbing, fear of missing out (FoMO), and adolescent SNS addiction. Furthermore, the study investigated the mediating role of FoMO and the moderating role of gender therein. Data were collected among 1447 Chinese adolescents in June 2019 (T1) and January 2020 (T2). The results showed significant positive correlations among all three variables in both waves. There were bidirectional associations between parental phubbing and adolescent SNS addiction. T1 parental phubbing positively predicted T2 FoMO, and T1 FoMO positively predicted T2 SNS addiction, but not vice versa. FoMO mediated the link between parental phubbing and subsequent adolescent SNS addiction. T1 SNS addiction predicted T2 parental phubbing, and T1 FoMO predicted T2 SNS addiction – but these effects were significant only among girls. The effect of T1 FoMO on T2 FoMO was significantly stronger among girls than in boys. The findings contribute to the literature on parental phubbing and adolescent SNS addiction and provide insights for prevention and intervention programs addressing adolescent SNS addiction.

父母溺爱、害怕错过和社交网站成瘾之间的性别差异：跨滞后面板研究

尽管人们对父母溺爱和青少年社交网站（SNS）成瘾的有害后果进行了探讨，但有关它们之间的双向关系和内在机制的研究还很缺乏。针对这一研究空白，本研究探讨了父母溺爱、害怕错过（FoMO）和青少年社交网站成瘾之间的纵向和双向关系。此外，本研究还探讨了 FoMO 的中介作用和性别的调节作用。研究分别于2019年6月（T1）和2020年1月（T2）收集了1447名中国青少年的数据。结果显示，在两次调查中，三个变量之间均存在明显的正相关。父母溺爱与青少年SNS成瘾之间存在双向关联。T1 阶段的父母溺爱正向预测 T2 阶段的 FoMO，而 T1 阶段的 FoMO 正向预测 T2 阶段的 SNS 上瘾，反之亦然。FoMO在父母溺爱与青少年随后的SNS成瘾之间起中介作用。T1的SNS成瘾预示着T2的父母溺爱，而T1的FoMO预示着T2的SNS成瘾--但这些影响只在女孩中显著。T1 FoMO 对 T2 FoMO 的影响在女孩中明显强于男孩。这些研究结果为有关父母溺爱和青少年SNS成瘾的文献做出了贡献，并为针对青少年SNS成瘾的预防和干预计划提供了启示。

期刊介绍： Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
