A Study on the Relationship between Adult Attachment and Smartphone Addiction among College Students

本研究基于I-PACE模型、病理性网络使用理论，以大学生群体为研究对象，主要对成人依恋、孤独感、非适应性认知与智能手机成瘾的内在联系，及其背后的作用机制进行探讨。本研究采用《亲密关系经历量表》《UCLA孤独量表》《中国青少年非适应性认知量表》和《大学生智能手机成瘾量表》，对492名大学生发放线上问卷进行数据收集。结果表明：1) 成人依恋、孤独感、非适应性认知和智能手机成瘾两两正相关；2) 成人依恋正向预测智能手机成瘾；3) 孤独感和非适应性认知在成人依恋和智能手机成瘾之间不仅起单独中介作用，还起链式中介作用。结论：个体的成人依恋水平越高，孤独感越高，与此同时其非适应性认知程度也进一步提高，最终导致智能手机成瘾。With the popularization and extensive use of smartphones, smartphone addiction has become a common problem among college students. College is an important period of life, so it is quite critical for them to use smartphones correctly and avoid addiction. Based on the I-PACE model and the theory of pathological Internet use, this study takes college students as the research object, and mainly explores the intrinsic connection between adult attachment, loneliness, non-adaptive cognition and smartphone addiction, as well as their underlying mechanisms. In this study, the Intimate Relationship Experience Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Chinese Adolescent Nonadaptive Cognition Scale, and College Student Smartphone Addiction Scale were used to collect data from 600 college students who were given an online questionnaire. Data entry management, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and analysis of chained mediation effects were performed using spss26.0. The results showed that: 1) adult attachment, loneliness, nonadaptive cognition and smartphone addiction were positively correlated; 2) adult attachment positively predicted smartphone addiction; and 3) loneliness and nonadaptive cognition not only mediated individually but also chained mediation between adult attachment and smartphone addiction. The present study illustrates that the higher the level of adult attachment of an individual, the higher the loneliness, and at the same time his/her degree of nonadaptive cognition further increases, which ultimately leads to smartphone addiction.
