Abstract

The goal of the present study was to investigate the trajectories of problematic smartphone use among adolescents and its predictors, including self-regulation, fear of missing out (FoMO), depression, and anxiety among Canadian adolescents. A total of 2549 participants (1025 girls; Mage = 14.10 years, SD = 0.96 years) from grades 8 to 12 in Southern British Columbia, Canada, took part in the study. Self-reported problematic smartphone use was collected annually over 4 years. At Time 1, adolescents provided self-reports on self-regulation, depression, anxiety, and FoMO. Growth mixture modelling was used to examine the trajectories of problematic smartphone use. The results revealed three distinct trajectories: low-increasing-decreasing (35.5%), moderate-increasing (60.9%), and high-stable (3.6%). Multinomial logistic regression revealed that higher FoMO and depression were significant predictors of membership in the high-stable problematic smartphone use group, while better self-regulation predicted lower problematic smartphone use. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of problematic smartphone use and the importance of self-regulation and mental health in understanding problematic smartphone use trajectories among Canadian adolescents.

探索青少年智能手机使用问题的轨迹:来自纵向研究的见解。
本研究的目的是调查加拿大青少年中有问题的智能手机使用轨迹及其预测因素,包括自我调节、错失恐惧(FoMO)、抑郁和焦虑。共有2549名参与者(1025名女孩;Mage = 14.10岁,SD = 0.96岁)来自加拿大南不列颠哥伦比亚省的8至12年级的学生参加了这项研究。在4年的时间里,每年都会收集自我报告的智能手机使用问题。在时间1,青少年提供了自我调节、抑郁、焦虑和FoMO的自我报告。增长混合模型被用来检查有问题的智能手机使用的轨迹。结果显示出低增减(35.5%)、中增减(60.9%)和高稳定(3.6%)三个明显的发展轨迹。多项逻辑回归显示,较高的FoMO和抑郁是高稳定性问题智能手机使用组成员的显著预测因子,而较好的自我调节则预示着较低的问题智能手机使用。这些发现强调了问题智能手机使用的动态性质,以及自我调节和心理健康在理解加拿大青少年问题智能手机使用轨迹中的重要性。
