Background As mobile phone use grows, so it brings benefits and risks. As an important part of adolescents healthy growth, resilience plays an indispensable role. Thus, it is important to identify when mobile phone use of an adolescent becomes an addiction. This study proposed to explore the effects of adolescent resilience on mobile phone addiction, and tested the mediating role of coping style and depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) on phone addiction among 2,268 adolescents in the Henan province, China. Methods The adolescents were surveyed via an online questionnaire, a mobile phone addiction index (MPAI), a depression, anxiety, and stress scale with 21 items (DASS-21), the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA), and the Simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ), and we used structural equation modeling to examine the correlations and moderation effects. All data analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0 and Amos 23.0. Results The results show that adolescences resilience were negatively related to negative coping, DASS, and mobile phone addiction; both coping style and DASS could mediate the relationship between adolescent resilience and mobile phone addiction among Chinese adolescents. The relationship between adolescent resilience and mobile phone addiction in Chinese adolescents was mediated by the chain of coping styles and DASS. Conclusions There is a negative relationship which exists between resilience and mobile phone addiction in this population. In addition, stress, anxiety, depression, and coping style significantly influence the risk of adolescent mobile phone addiction and play an intermediary role in Chinese adolescent resilience and mobile phone addiction.

“…Liu et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2020;. Although some studies suggest that the link between smartphone overuse and stress might be bi-directional (Stanković & Nešić, 2022;Stanković et al, 2021), most of the research explains this connection by asserting that smartphones are being used as a mechanism to alleviate negative emotions and experiences of pain, tension, and loneliness (Chiu, 2014), as a tool to pass the time and reduce negative feelings, but without eliminating the source of these emotions (Q.-Q. Liu et al, 2018), to escape from problems , and to satisfy needs in the face of adversity (H. Yang et al, 2021).…”

Because problematic smartphone use (PSU) is rising among adolescents, it is vital to analyze the potential causes and psychosocial consequences affecting this target population. Current theoretical frameworks suggest that specific personal core characteristics might predispose individuals to experience increases in this problematic behavior over time. Additionally, PSU has been conceptualized as a maladaptive coping mechanism to manage negative emotions. The present study aimed at analyzing a personal resource, critical thinking disposition, and a potential negative consequence, reduced academic engagement, and the underlying role of perceived stress and PSU in this association among Spanish adolescents. The sample consisted of 688 adolescents (54% females, 46% males) aged 12 to 18 years from Southern Spain. Participants completed self-report questionnaires to assess critical thinking disposition (VIA-Youth), perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale), PSU (Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version), and academic engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Students). We analyzed a serial mediation model using PROCESS (SPSS), in which critical thinking disposition was the independent variable, perceived stress and PSU were the first and second mediators, respectively, and academic engagement was the outcome variable. Our results indicated that lower critical thinking disposition was linked to increased perceived stress, which was associated with higher PSU, resulting in decreased academic engagement. These findings provide empirical support for the pathways model of PSU, the maladaptive coping theories, and the I-PACE model of behavioral addictions. Furthermore, we discuss our results highlighting the important implication of training adolescents to think critically regarding their smartphone usage to reduce their stress levels, to avoid using smartphones as a coping strategy, and hence, to improve their student's attitudes toward school.

“…The affectations that occur today in people's health, are particularly related to the disproportionate access to social networks and the exponential growth of the Internet, such growth despite the functional use in human communication and useful impact on the technological development of society, has shown some disadvantages in recent years (Stanković & Nešić, 2022).…”

“…Such a set of pedagogical factors reserve integrated functionality against the risks of developing Internet addiction and depression, depending on the type of career that young people are studying and, knowing in advance that the choice of these studies is related to the type of personality that characterizes them. Some academic groups, such as medical students, have been shown to be at high risk for developing Internet addiction and depression (Stanković & Nešić, 2022). However, little is known whether the association between AI and depression is bidirectional or unidirectional, and to what extent the AI-depression relationship is mediated by anxiety, stress, and sleep quality.…”
