Abstract

Problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) has become a worldwide phenomenon with negative impacts on adolescents’ daily lives. While self-control has been shown to be related to PMPU, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of this association. Based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution model and the strength model of self-control, the current study aims to examine the association between self-control and PMPU, to identify the indirect role of craving, and to determine whether and how the two components of desire thinking exert differential moderating effects. A sample of 1424 adolescents was recruited to complete the scales of self-control, craving, desire thinking, and PMPU. The results suggested that self-control was indirectly associated with PMPU through craving. Furthermore, this indirect association was moderated by verbal perseveration, rather than imaginal prefiguration. Specifically, the indirect association was stronger for adolescents with higher verbal perseveration. The findings deepen our understanding of how self-control is related to PMPU and distinguish the effects of two components of desire thinking among adolescents.

自制力弱和受干扰的人无法阻止有问题的手机使用：渴望和欲望思维的作用

有问题地使用手机（PMPU）已成为一种全球现象，对青少年的日常生活造成了负面影响。虽然已有研究表明自我控制与问题手机使用有关，但对这种关联的内在机制却知之甚少。本研究以 "人-影响-认知-执行 "互动模型和自我控制强度模型为基础，旨在探讨自我控制与 PMPU 之间的关联，确定渴望的间接作用，并确定欲望思维的两个组成部分是否以及如何发挥不同的调节作用。研究招募了 1424 名青少年样本，完成了自我控制、渴望、欲望思维和 PMPU 的量表。结果表明，自我控制通过渴望与 PMPU 间接相关。此外，这种间接关联受言语持久性而非想象预设的调节。具体来说，言语持久性较高的青少年的间接关联性更强。这些发现加深了我们对自我控制与 PMPU 关系的理解，并区分了青少年欲望思维的两个组成部分的影响。
