Abstract
Although cyber-relationship addiction among deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) college students has become a problem that needs urgent attention, few studies have examined the effects of core self-evaluation on cyber-relationship addiction and its underlying mediating mechanisms in this population. Drawing from the person-affect-cognition-execution model for addictive behaviors, this study aimed to explore the mediating role of anxiety and online self-disclosure in the relationship between core self-evaluation and cyber-relationship addiction among DHH college students. A total of 355 DHH college students participated in this study and completed a survey assessing core self-evaluation, anxiety, online self-disclosure, and cyber-relationship addiction. Results indicated that positive core self-evaluation among DHH college students was associated with a lower risk of cyber-relationship addiction. Additionally, anxiety and online self-disclosure played a serial mediating role in this relationship. These findings contribute to identifying effective intervention strategies to mitigate cyber-relationship addiction among DHH college students.

The American Annals of the Deaf is a professional journal dedicated to quality in education and related services for deaf or hard of hearing children and adults. First published in 1847, the Annals is the oldest and most widely read English-language journal dealing with deafness and the education of deaf persons. The Annals is the official organ of the Council of American Instructors of the Deaf (CAID) and of the Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools and Programs for the Deaf (CEASD) and is directed and administered by a Joint Annals Administrative Committee made up of members of the executive committees of both of these organizations.
