There is, however, a dearth of longitudinal studies investigating family functioning, loneliness, and PSMU. Based on the model of compensatory internet use, this study investigated the hypothesis that loneliness would mediate the longitudinal association between family functioning and PSMU among Chinese university students. It also explored whether there were sex differences in the associations between family functioning, loneliness, and PSMU. A total of 928 university students (45.7% male and 54.3% female; Mage = 20.71 years, SD = 1.21) completed the two-wave surveys. The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, the Chinese 6-item short version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale, and the Family APGAR Index were employed to evaluate PSMU, loneliness, and family functioning, respectively. Cross-lagged panel model analysis and multi-group analysis by sex were conducted. The study found that family functioning at T1 negatively predicted loneliness at T2 (<em>β</em> = -0.10, <em>p</em> = 0.001) and PSMU at T2 (<em>β</em> = -0.12, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). Loneliness at T1 positively predicted PSMU at T2 (<em>β</em> = 0.13, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). Loneliness significantly mediated the longitudinal association between family functioning and PSMU. Significant sex differences were found in the paths from loneliness at T1 to PSMU at T2 and from family functioning at T1 to PSMU at T2, with these associations being stronger in males than in females. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing family communication and emotional cohesion could be effective in reducing both loneliness and PSMU among university students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7155,"journal":{"name":"Addictive behaviors","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 108337"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143685319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Problem gambling was assessed using the Problem Gambling Severity Index, and ADHD symptoms were measured with the Japanese version of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. The results revealed that 22.2 % of the participants with ADHD symptoms exhibited problem gambling, this proportion was significantly higher than that reported in the general population. Causal mediation analysis revealed that all types of gambling engagement, except for lottery, mediated the relationship between ADHD symptoms and problem gambling. Among them, bicycle racing and online casinos exhibited the strongest effects. Multiple regression analysis revealed that online casino use was the strongest predictor of problem gambling both in the general population and among individuals with ADHD symptoms. These findings suggest that individuals with ADHD characteristics increase the risk of engaging in gambling activities, particularly casino and online gambling, which have a high potential for addiction.

It is thus no surprise that researchers have examined whether intensive use of ChatGPT can be considered an addictive behavior. At least four scales measuring ChatGPT addiction have been developed so far, all framed after substance use disorder criteria. Drawing parallels with previous cases of pathologizing everyday behaviors, we caution against labeling and defining intensive or habitual chatbot use as addictive behavior. To label a behavior as addictive, there must be convincing evidence of negative consequences, impaired control, psychological distress, and functional impairment. However, the existing research on problematic use of ChatGPT or other conversational AI bots fails to provide such robust scientific evidence.
