“…[57][58][59] Relevant research has shown that high levels of depression in adolescents are an important factor contributing to smartphone addiction. 60 In summary, we hypothesize that harsh parenting can contribute to increased social pain which subsequently elevates levels of depression and ultimately leads to smartphone addiction. Accordingly, we proposed the following hypothesis.…”

“…The sample size was determined a A prior using Monte Carlo power analysis for indirect effects (power = 0.80, α = 0.05). 73 We entered the effect sizes obtained by previous studies for the links between harsh parenting and smartphone addiction, 22 r = 0.23, harsh parenting and social pain, r = 0.15 (smallest effect), harsh parenting and depression, 55 r = 0.39, social pain and depression, 66 r = 0.43, social pain and smartphone addiction, r = 0.15 (smallest effect), depression and smartphone addition, 60 r = 0.23. The results indicated that 581 participants were needed to detect serial mediation.…”

Purpose With the increasing prevalence of smart phones, adolescent smartphone addiction has garnered significant attention from researchers. Previous studies have revealed that smartphone addiction is associated with various internalization and externalization problems. Therefore, this present study aims to investigate the risk factors contributing to adolescent smartphone addiction. Methods Study 1 recruited a sample of 540, 690, and 470 Chinese students aged between 10–17 years for exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and predictive validity analysis of the social pain scale. Study 2 utilized data from a sample of 718 Chinese students aged between 10–17 years to examine the measurement model used revised social pain scale, smartphone addiction scale, harsh parenting scale, and depression sub-scale. Results The present study revealed that (1)The Social Pain Scale had good applicability in Chinese adolescents; (2) There were significant, positive correlations among harsh parenting, smartphone addiction, depression and social pain; (3) Social pain and depression played a partially serial mediating role in the relationship between harsh parenting and smartphone addiction, and similarly the relationship between paternal harsh parenting and smartphone addiction, while a completely serial mediating role in the relationship between maternal harsh parenting and smartphone addiction. Conclusion This study provides a direct path (improving parenting style) and an indirect path (reducing social pain to reduce depression) regarding interventions for adolescents with smartphone addiction, and establishes a basis for improving the situation of adolescent smartphone addiction.

Smartphone addiction (SA) significantly impacts the physical and mental health of adolescents, and can further exacerbate existing mental health issues in those with depression. However, fewer studies have focused on the predictors of SA in adolescents with depression. This study employs machine learning methods to identify key risk factors for SA and utilizes the Interpretable SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method to enhance model interpretability and assess the importance of each risk factor. Additionally, by constructing a mediation moderation model, the interactions between significant risk factors is analyzed. The study included 2,203 adolescents with depression. Machine learning results from three models (random forest, logistic regression, and decision tree) consistently identified emotion-focused coping, rumination, and school bullying as the strongest predictors of SA. Further mediation moderation analyses based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model revealed that rumination significantly mediated the relationship between school bullying and SA, and emotion-focused coping significantly moderated the relationships between school bullying and both rumination and SA. This is the first study to use machine learning to explore the predictors of SA in depressive adolescents and further analyze the interactions among these predictors. Future interventions for SA in adolescents with depression may benefit from psychotherapy that addresses emotion-focused coping and rumination.
