• Abstract: With the widespread adoption of the Internet, excessive use of social networking sites has become increasingly prevalent among young netizens, particularly college students. Therefore, it is urgent to explore the causes of social network addiction and to guide students toward healthier usage behaviors. This study employed a questionnaire survey with 497 freshmen to junior students from a university in Guangxi to examine the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and social network addiction, as well as the potential mediating roles of social anxiety and loneliness. The results showed that: (1) fear of negative evaluation, social anxiety, loneliness, and social network addiction were all significantly and positively correlated with one another; (2) social anxiety mediated the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and social network addiction; (3) loneliness mediated the relationship between the two; and (4) social anxiety and loneliness played a chain mediating role in the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and social network addiction. The findings suggest that alleviating fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety and reducing loneliness are effective approaches to lowering the risk of social network addiction among college students. This can be achieved by strengthening mental health education to help students rationally interpret others’evaluations, as well as by providing social skills training and group psychological counseling to enhance their real-life social competence, thereby preventing and reducing social network addiction. 随着互联网的高度普及，在以大学生为主体的青年网民中，社交网络过度使用的现象也日益严重。因此深入探究社交网络成瘾背后的成因并规范引导大学生的社交网络使用行为显得尤为迫切。本研究采用问卷调查法，以广西某大学大一至大三的497名学生为研究对象，探讨负面评价恐惧与社交网络成瘾之间的关系，并进一步揭示社交焦虑和孤独感在其中的潜在中介效应，研究结果如下：（1）负面评价恐惧、社交焦虑、孤独感与社交网络成瘾两两之间均呈显著正相关；（2）社交焦虑在负面评价恐惧与社交网络成瘾间起中介作用；（3）孤独感在二者间起中介作用；（4）社交焦虑与孤独感在负面评价恐惧与社交网络成瘾间起链式中介作用。研究表明，改善大学生的负面评价恐惧与社交焦虑、减缓孤独感，是降低社交网络成瘾风险的有效途径。可通过加强心理健康教育，引导大学生理性看待他人评价，并采取社交技能培训与团体心理辅导等措施，提升现实社交能力，进而预防和减少社交网络成瘾。
