The Double Mediators of Attention Concentration and Interpersonal Self-Efficacy in Middle School Students' Internet Addiction and Overuse of Social Networks

摘要

To explore the relationship among attention concentration, interpersonal self-efficacy, Internet addiction and social network overuse among middle school students, a cluster sampling survey was carried out by using Yang's Internet addiction scale, mobile social network overuse scale, ADHD self-examination scale and interpersonal self-efficacy scale among middle school students in four schools in three provinces and regions in China. The results showed that: firstly, Internet addiction was positively correlated with attention concentration and social network overuse; interpersonal self-efficacy was negatively correlated with internet addiction and attention concentration; social network overuse was positively correlated with attention concentration and interpersonal self-efficacy; secondly, when interpersonal self-efficacy, attention concentration and social network overuse predict Internet addiction, interpersonal self-efficacy significantly negatively predicts Internet addiction, attention concentration significantly positively predicts Internet addiction, and social network overuse significantly positively predicts Internet addiction; thirdly, attention concentration and interpersonal self-efficacy play a dual mediating role between social network overuse and Internet addiction.
