摘要

简介问题性网络使用（PIU）是青少年时期的一个重要问题。根据以往的研究，它也可能是潜在精神病理学的结果。家庭沟通不良是青少年 PIU 的一个重要预测因素。然而，从潜在心理病理学的角度来看，家庭沟通对青少年 PIU 的影响尚不清楚。本研究测试了孤独和抑郁的连锁中介效应，以及发展阶段在这一连锁中介模型中的调节效应，以揭示这一关联的内在机制：这项横断面研究共招募了来自全国23个省份的1377名参与者（53%为男性），年龄均在12至17岁之间。家庭沟通采用FCS-10进行评估，该量表可测量家庭互动中的开放性、情感表达和解决问题的能力等方面。PIU采用PIUQ-SF-6进行评估，孤独感采用T-ILS进行测量，抑郁采用PHQ-9进行评估。使用偏差校正百分率引导法（样本 = 5000）对连锁中介效应进行了检验：结果表明：(a) 家庭沟通不良与青少年 PIU 呈正相关；(b) 孤独和抑郁在家庭沟通与青少年 PIU 之间起中介作用；(c) 孤独和抑郁依次在家庭沟通与青少年 PIU 之间起中介作用；(d) 在链式中介模型中，青少年的发育阶段（早期与晚期）调节抑郁与 PIU 之间的关系：本研究揭示了抑郁症作为一种潜在的潜在心理病理学，可能先于 PIU 出现。本研究还在家庭沟通和 PIU 之间建立了联系，表明家庭沟通不畅导致的孤独感是青少年抑郁的诱因。抑郁症与 PIU 之间的联系在青春期后期尤为明显。这些发现强调了在筛查和治疗青少年 PIU 时解决潜在心理病理学问题的重要性。

The Relationship Between Family Communication and Adolescent Problematic Internet Use: The Chain Mediation Effects of Loneliness and Depression.

Introduction: Problematic internet use (PIU) is a significant issue during adolescence. It is recognized as a condition for further study in the DSM-5 and may also be a consequence of underlying psychopathologies, as suggested by previous studies. Poor family communication is an important predictor of adolescent PIU. However, it remains unclear how family communication impacts adolescent PIU from the perspective of underlying psychopathologies. This study tested the chain mediating effect of loneliness and depression as well as the moderating effect of developmental stage in this chain mediation model to uncover the mechanisms underlying this association.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited a total of 1,377 participants (53% male) from 23 provinces across China, all aged 12 to 17. Family communication was assessed using the FCS-10, which measures aspects such as openness, emotional expression, and problem-solving abilities within family interactions. PIU was assessed using the PIUQ-SF-6, loneliness was measured by the T-ILS, and depression was assessed using the PHQ-9. The chain mediating effects were tested using bias-corrected percentile bootstrap (sample = 5000).

Results: The results indicated that (a) poor family communication was positively associated with adolescent PIU; (b) loneliness and depression mediated the link between family communication and adolescent PIU; (c) loneliness and depression sequentially mediated the link between family communication and adolescent PIU; (d) the developmental stage of adolescence (early vs late) moderated the relationship between depression and PIU in the chain mediation model.

Conclusion: This study reveals that depression, as a potential underlying psychopathology, may precede PIU. It also establishes a link between family communication and PIU, showing that loneliness resulting from poor family communication contributes to the development of depression in adolescents. The connection between depression and PIU is particularly pronounced in late adolescence. These findings highlight the importance of addressing underlying psychopathologies when screening and treating adolescent PIU.
