Childhood emotional maltreatment and Internet addiction: the differential mediating roles of control and emotional dysregulation across development
Background
Childhood emotional maltreatment is considered a critical risk factor for the development of Internet addiction; however, results within this domain vary, and the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear.
Objectives
This study examined the mediating effects of sense of control and emotional dysregulation on the relationship between childhood emotional maltreatment and Internet addiction and assessed moderation by school stage.
Participants and settings
The study included 1802 adolescents and undergraduates (Mage = 17.68 ± 2.63 years) from Chinese junior and senior high schools, colleges, and universities.
Methods
Participants completed assessments of childhood emotional abuse and neglect, sense of control, emotional dysregulation, and Internet addiction. A structural equation model was constructed to test the hypotheses.
Results
Mediation analysis revealed that both sense of control and emotional dysregulation mediated the relationship between childhood emotional maltreatment and Internet addiction. Furthermore, moderation analysis indicated significant differences in the impact of childhood emotional maltreatment on sense of control between junior and senior high school students and college students.
Conclusion
Sense of control and emotional dysregulation are key mediators of the link between childhood emotional maltreatment and Internet addiction, with developmental differences. These findings could inform targeted strategies for addressing Internet addiction following childhood maltreatment.
