Parental Phubbing and Adolescent Online Game Addiction:The Mediating Role of Deviant Peer Interaction
Objective:To explore the relationship between parental phubbing and adolescent online game addiction and the mediating role of deviant peer interaction.Methods:A total of 808 adolescents were investigated using Parental Phubbing Scale,Deviant Peer Interaction Scale and Online Game Addic-tion Scale.AMOS 26.0 was used to test the mediating effect.Results:Parental phubbing was significantly positively correlated with online game addiction(r=0.23,p<0.01)and deviant peer interaction(r=0.19,p<0.01),and deviant peer interaction was positively correlated with online game addiction(r=0.23,p<0.01).Deviant peer interaction plays a partial mediating role between parental phubbing and online game addiction.Conclusion:Parental phubbing can not only directly affect online game addiction but also indi-rectly increase the risk of online game addiction by promoting deviant peer interaction.
