Abstract:
Objective: To explore the relationship between psychological flexibility and Internet dependence among college students, and to verify whether the fear of missing out has a mediating role in it. Methods: A total of 526 college students were tested using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire, the fear of missing out questionnaire for college students, Chinese internet addiction scale’s revision. Results: (1) There was a significant positive correlation between experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, and fear of missing out (r=0.565, p<0.01; r=0.532, p<0.01; r=0.490, p<0.01), and empirical avoidance, cognitive fusion, and fear of missing out (r=0.543, p<0.01; r=0.527, p<0.01); (2) Fear of missing out and experiential avoidance among college students. It has a positive prediction effect on Internet dependence; (3) Fear of missing out played a partial mediating role between psychological flexibility and Internet dependence (β =0.2437, p<0.01). Conclusion: Psychological flexibility and fear of missing out jointly affect college students’ Internet dependence, which provides a new direction for the subsequent research on Internet dependence.
目的:探讨大学生心理灵活性与网络依赖的关系及验证错失恐惧在其中是否存在中介作用。方法:采用接纳与行动、认知融合、大学生错失恐惧和网络依赖量表对526名大学生进行测查。结果:(1)大学生经验性回避、认知融合、错失恐惧与网络依赖呈显著正相关(r=0.565,p<0.01;r=0.532,p<0.01;r=0.490,p<0.01),经验性回避、认知融合和错失恐惧呈显著正相关(r=0.543,p<0.01;r=0.527,p<0.01);(2)大学生错失恐惧、经验性回避对网络依赖具有正向预测作用;(3)错失恐惧在心理灵活性和网络依赖间起到了部分中介作用(β=0.2437,p<0.01)。结论:心理灵活性、错失恐惧共同影响着大学生网络依赖,它为后续对网络依赖的研究提供了新的方向。
