“…That is consistent with previous research that childhood emotional abuse experience is an important predictor of IA in adolescents or adults [44,45]. Studies have also shown that emotional abuse is closely related to smartphone addiction in early adolescents aged 12-14 years [46] as well as problematic social network use in young adults [47]. This study adds to the evidence that emotional abuse is an important risk factor for IA in children.…”

Background Internet addiction (IA) among children is a serious problem and it is imperative to explore the risk and protective factors involved. Previous studies have suggested that emotional abuse may be a significant risk factor for IA in children; however, the relationship remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional abuse and IA in children and to explore the roles of emotional dysregulation (ED) and regulatory emotional self-efficacy (RESE) in mediating this relationship. Methods A sample of 556 Chinese fourth to sixth grade primary school students completed questionnaires on emotional abuse, ED, RESE, and IA. Results Emotional abuse has a positive predictive effect on IA in children. This relationship was serially mediated by ED and RESE. Conclusions ED and RESE have chain-mediating effects in the relationship between emotional abuse and IA. These findings suggest that improving emotional regulation abilities and confidence in abused children is a promising strategy to reduce the adverse impact of emotional abuse and the risk of IA in children.

Background: Problematic mobile social media use may impact college students’ physical and mental health. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of social anxiety and subjective well-being on problematic mobile social media use and the mediating role of self-esteem in this relationship. Methods: A total of 387 first-year university students (39.8% females, 60.2% males; mean age = 18.74 years) were enrolled in this study and completed self-report measures of social anxiety, subjective well-being, self-esteem and problematic mobile social media use. A structural equation model was constructed and tested by AMOS 23.0 software. Results: (1) Social anxiety not only had a direct effect on problematic mobile social media use, but also had an indirect effect on problematic mobile social media use via self-esteem. (2) Subjective well-being was positively and significantly associated with self-esteem, as well as problematic mobile social media use. (3) Self-esteem played a suppressing role between subjective well-being and problematic mobile social media use. Conclusions: It is necessary to help college students reduce their social anxiety and increase their subjective happiness through appropriate ways, as this plays an important role in increasing self-esteem and reducing their problematic mobile social media use.
