“…Such a measure could amplify loneliness (Li, Feng, Xiao, & Zhou, 2021). Consistent with previous research (Li, Feng, Xiao, & Zhou, 2021), this study supported a positive relationship between loneliness and problematic smartphone use among Chinese adolescents during the pandemic, which was consistent with the compensatory internet use theory (Kardefelt‐Winther, 2014; Khudhair, 2020). As the most accessible device for internet browsing, smartphones can provide instant entertainment and ease feelings of loneliness (Halvey et al, 2006), which may lead to excessive and problematic smartphone use.…”

“…Adolescents, being at a special developmental stage, are more likely to adopt emotion‐focused maladaptive coping as a way of dealing with immediate emotional distress than problem‐focused adaptive coping (Duan et al, 2021). Surfing the internet using smartphones, such as browsing interesting web pages, can fulfill this very need to avoid instant emotional pain (Billieux, 2012; Khudhair, 2020). The positive relationship between maladaptive coping and problematic smartphone use among lonely adolescents during the COVID‐19 pandemic may have suggestet that problematic smartphone use may have served as a form of maladaptive coping adopted by lonely adolescents to ease negative emotions triggered by stressful events (i.e., COVID‐19 in this study).…”

IntroductionGiven the observed increased feelings of loneliness and problematic smartphone use among adolescents during the COVID‐19 pandemic, further research was needed to determine whether and how the increased loneliness of adolescents during such major public health crisis events affects the risk of problematic smartphone use among adolescents. This study aimed to examine the relationship between loneliness and problematic smartphone use among Chinese adolescents (aged 10–16 years) during the COVID‐19 pandemic and to investigate the possible mediating role of negative emotions and maladaptive coping.MethodsA total of 672 Chinese adolescents (Mage = 13.05, SD = 1.51, 50.4% boys, 93.8% from rural areas, 22.5% of whom were only children) took part in this cross‐sectional study in April 2022 by completing the Chinese adolescent version of the Loneliness Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (subscale), the Ways of Coping Questionnaire, and the Mobile Phone Addiction Index Scale.ResultsThe serial mediation model revealed that negative emotions and maladaptive coping independently mediated the relationship between adolescents' loneliness and problematic smartphone use. In addition, the mediation effects of “negative emotions‐maladaptive coping” could also mediate the relationship between loneliness and problematic smartphone use.ConclusionsLoneliness may be positively related to problematic smartphone use through negative emotions and maladaptive coping among adolescents during major public health crisis events, such as the COVID‐19 pandemic.

Aim. To study the relationship between parameters of the impulsivity – reflexivity cognitive style and the level of Internet addiction among high school students.Materials and methods. 154 students from general education institutions aged 16–17 years were diagnosed using the J. Kagan’s reflection – impulsivity test and the Chen Internet Addiction Scale. The one-way analysis of variance was used, followed by post-hoc pairwise comparisons using the Tukey’s test.Results. An inverse relationship between the level of Internet addiction and decision latency in a multiple-choice situation and a direct relationship between the level of Internet addiction and the number of errors in the J. Kagan’s reflection – impulsivity test were revealed.Conclusion. High school students with propensity to Internet addiction tend to have the impulsive cognitive style, while students without such a tendency – the reflective style. In cognitive activity, the impulsive cognitive style is generally less productive than the reflexive one. The impulsive cognitive style is similar to the so-called clip thinking, which allows to consider the relationship between Internet addiction and this phenomenon through the prism of cognitive and style features.
