“…However, there is no empirical evidence supporting that students from urban areas exhibited higher levels of state self-control capacity and fewer behaviors of problematic gaming, conceivably because the prevalence and cheaper price of smart communication tools eliminate possible urban–rural differences in students’ self-control capacity and problematic mobile video gaming [ 85 , 86 ]. University students’ grade and attribute of the only child did not significantly affect their consideration of future outcomes, self-control capacity, and problematic mobile video gaming, possibly because China’s information development allowed individuals of different grades and with different numbers of siblings to have equal access to education and information resources, causing potential indifferent situations on problematic mobile video gaming [ 87 , 88 ].…”

Background To explore the relationship between future self-continuity and problematic mobile video gaming among Chinese college students and to examine the serial mediation of consideration of future consequences and state self-control capacity on the association between future self-continuity and problematic mobile video gaming, based on Identity-Based Motivation Theory. Methods The Problematic Mobile Video Gaming Scale, Future Self-continuity Scale, Consideration of Future Consequences Scale, and Short Version of State Self-control Capacity Scale were administered to a sample comprising 800 college students (338 males accounting for 42.3%). Multivariate analysis and latent variables analysis were utilized to explore the separate mediating role consideration of future consequences and state self-control capacity played in the association between future self-continuity and problematic mobile video gaming, and their serial mediation also was investigated. The Bootstrap method was employed to test the significance of these mediation effects. Results The negative association between future self-continuity and problematic mobile video gaming was moderately found. Students with increased consideration of future consequences from higher levels of future self-continuity have decreased their problematic mobile video gaming. Future self-continuity significantly positively predicted state self-control capacity, which in turn significantly negatively predicted problematic mobile video gaming. The serial mediation was also found. Conclusion The findings revealed why differences in identification with the current and future selves become influencing factors in problematic mobile video gaming. This study observed the mediating role that consideration of future consequences and state self-control capacity play in the association between future self-continuity and problematic mobile video gaming.
