Abstract

This study explored the relationship between social interaction anxiety (SIA) and problematic smartphone use (PSU) among Chinese adolescents. Further, the roles of online basic psychological needs satisfaction (online BPNS), nature connectedness (NC), and related differences between urban and rural adolescents were examined. We recruited 840 Chinese adolescents to complete a questionnaire. Results showed that online BPNS mediated the relationship between SIA and PSU after controlling for sex, age, duration of smartphone use, and rural-urban differences. NC moderated the mediating effect of online BPNS as a second-stage moderator, and the mediating effect was stronger for adolescents with lower NC. The indirect effect of SIA on PSU through online BPNS depended on NC. Our findings suggested that reducing SIA and online BPNS levels, enhancing connection with nature, and training adolescents (especially rural adolescents) on methods to seek social support and develop social abilities can effectively deal with PSU.

中国城乡青少年社交焦虑与智能手机使用问题：一个适度-适度的中介模型

本研究探讨了中国青少年社交焦虑（SIA）与问题智能手机使用（PSU）之间的关系。此外，研究了城市和农村青少年在线基本心理需求满足（在线BPNS）、自然联系（NC）的作用以及相关差异。我们招募了840名中国青少年来完成问卷调查。结果显示，在控制了性别、年龄、智能手机使用时间和城乡差异后，在线BPNS介导了SIA和PSU之间的关系。NC作为第二阶段调节因子调节了在线BPNS的中介作用，并且这种中介作用在NC较低的青少年中更强。SIA通过在线BPNS对PSU的间接影响取决于NC。我们的研究结果表明，降低SIA和在线BPNS水平，增强与自然的联系，培训青少年（尤其是农村青少年）寻求社会支持和发展社会能力的方法可以有效地应对PSU。
