“…First, the current findings indicated that COVID-19 victimization experience had a significant predictive effect on mobile phone addiction in the surveyed college students. This finding is similar to that of a previous study [12] that demonstrated a significant predictive effect of trauma on mobile phone addiction. Because individuals spent more time at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and had more free time, their smartphone use increased for online activities such as browsing social media, watching movies or series, and listening to music [60].…”

“…Another empirical study including 550 adults demonstrated that the burden caused by COVID-19 exerted a significant positive prediction effect on addictive social media use behavior [29]. Liang et al [12] conducted a questionnaire survey among 263 college students and determined that trauma exerted a significant positive predictive effect on mobile phone addiction. On the basis of the aforementioned findings.…”

“…Research has shown that the fear of COVID-19 and anxiety regarding COVID-19 infection are identified as significant positive predictors of smartphone addiction [10,11]. Another study demonstrated that trauma exerted a significant predictive effect on mobile phone addiction among college 2 of 16 students [12]. Therefore, the traumatic experience brought by COVID-19 is likely a significant predictor of mobile phone addiction in college students.…”

This study proposed a moderated mediation model to investigate the association between COVID-19 victimization experience and mobile phone addiction, the mediating role of future anxiety, and the moderating role of mindfulness. This study employed the COVID-19 victimization experience scale, the mobile phone addiction scale, a future anxiety scale, and a mindfulness scale in a survey study among Chinese college students; 840 valid questionnaires were received. The reliability and confirmatory factor analysis results showed that all four scales had good reliability and validity. Bootstrap results demonstrated that COVID-19 victimization experience significantly predicted mobile phone addiction in college students (B = 0.202, LLCI = 0.136, ULCI = 0.268). Future anxiety fully mediated the association between COVID-19 victimization experience and mobile phone addiction (B = 0.178, LLCI = 0.136, ULCI = 0.222). Mindfulness moderated the effect of COVID-19 victimization experience on the college students’ future anxiety (B = 0.159, LLCI = 0.007, ULCI = 0.054). A higher level of mindfulness was more likely than a lower level of mindfulness to attenuate the effect of COVID-19 victimization experience on the college students’ future anxiety. These findings broaden our understanding regarding the association between COVID-19 victimization experience and mobile phone addiction and the moderating role of mindfulness.

“…Experiencing parental psychological aggression could reduce children's trust and attachment to parents in the real word, which make them turn to concentrating on smartphone and escaping from interpersonal communication with the other person present as a maladaptive coping strategy. 24,25 Empirical research has demonstrated parental neglect and childhood psychological maltreatment could leave children vulnerable to smartphone addiction. 16,17 Phubbing as a compensatory behavior for unmet need might be triggered by parental psychological aggression.…”

“…Individuals perceived rejection tend to feel unloved, flawed and worthless, which increase the probability of behavior problems [ 23 ], such as phubbing. Experiencing parental psychological aggression could reduce children’s trust and attachment to parents in the real word, which make them turn to concentrating on smartphone and escaping from interpersonal communication with the other person present as a maladaptive coping strategy [ 24 , 25 ]. Empirical research has demonstrated parental neglect and childhood psychological maltreatment could leave children vulnerable to smartphone addiction [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Objective The present study aimed to examine the mediated moderation effect underlying the association between parental psychological aggression and phubbing, as well as the mediating role of anxiety and moderating role of sex and grade.Methods Based on a cross-sectional study, a total of 758 Chinese junior high school students had completed measures on socio-demographic characteristics, parental psychological aggression, anxiety and phubbing. Structural equation modeling was adopted to examine the mediating effect of anxiety on the association between parental psychological aggression and phubbing. Multigroup analyses were conducted to explore whether the path coefficients differed by sex and grade.Results Mediation analysis indicated that anxiety could mediate the association between parental psychological aggression and phubbing. The indirect effect of parental psychological aggression on phubbing via anxiety was 0.12. Multigroup analyses revealed that the higher mediation effect of anxiety was more likely to be reported by boys and students from grade eight.Conclusion Findings of the present study may inform prevention and intervention programs for phubbing in adolescents exposed to parental psychological aggression, by decreasing the anxiety and adopting selective strategies for different sex and grade groups.
