“…Although previous studies have shown that adolescents would get some positive changes after experiencing childhood maltreatment (Anderson et al, 2022;Glaser, 2002), such as sexual abuse Chen, Zhu, et al, 2021), we surprisingly found that emotional neglect in childhood was negatively associated with PTG in adolescents. The alternative explanations for this finding may be the following.…”

Emotional neglect is an under‐recognized but relatively common type of childhood maltreatment. Although it has been reported that adolescents will facilitate positive growth after experiencing childhood maltreatment, such as sexual abuse, it is unknown whether adolescents could also get a promotion after experiencing emotional neglect. Thus, we aimed to examine the association between emotional neglect and posttraumatic growth (PTG) and further explored the potential influence factors underlying such association. Six hundred and thirty‐five adolescents (55.2% female, Mage = 14.12 years old, SD = 1.47) were asked to complete self‐report questionnaires regarding emotional neglect, school engagement, psychological suzhi, and PTG. Results showed that emotional neglect was negatively associated with PTG, and school engagement mediated such association. Further, psychological suzhi moderated the direct pathway from emotional neglect to PTG in which the deleterious effect of emotional neglect on PTG was weaker for adolescents who reported higher psychological suzhi. Meanwhile, psychological suzhi moderated the indirect pathway from emotional neglect to school engagement in the mediated model in which the deleterious effect of emotional neglect on school engagement was weaker for adolescents who reported higher psychological suzhi. Overall, the current study advances our understanding of the relationship between emotional neglect and PTG, and further tests the potential roles of school engagement and psychological suzhi in this relationship.

“…This finding supported the Self‐Determination Theory's (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000) assertion that when the basic need for relatedness is not satisfied, people seek alternative strategies to get the need met. In the current study, peer victimization was assumed to disrupt adolescents' need for relatedness; this disruption was assumed to engender MPA (Chen et al, 2019). Our finding is also in line with past cross‐sectional empirical evidence showing that adolescents who are victimized by peers have elevated rates of MPA (Liu et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: Being victimized by peers has been shown to be associated with a range of adolescent problems, including mobile phone addiction (MPA). Although being victimized is assumed to lead to problem behavior, the reverse could also occur. In this longitudinal study we tested the reciprocal effects of victimization and MPA, taking into account the role of adolescent depression in these effects. Methods: The sample included 1987 adolescents from middle schools in Guangdong and Shandong Provinces, China (56.10% male; M age at Wave 1 = 12.32). Three waves of questionnaire data were collected at half-year intervals during the transition from 7th to 8th grade. Cross-lagged models were adopted for data analysis. Results: Peer victimization at W1/W2 predicted MPA at W2/W3, and the inverse relation was also signiicant: MPA at W1/W2 positively predicted peer victimization at W2/W3. Furthermore, the bidirectional association between peer victimization and MPA was mediated by adolescent depression. Conclusions: This is the irst longitudinal study on the relation between MPA and associated problems. Victimization by peers and MPA appear to have mutual inluences over time that are explained in part by adolescent depression. The results have potential applied value for promoting adolescent adjustment.

“…Besides, social bonding theory believes that if an individual realizes that the greater the expectations of the environment (such as school, family and society), the more important the environmental order is to him, and the stronger the connection between the individual and the environment, so the less problematic behavior occurred ( Hirschi, 1969 ). However, if students have AB, their school engagement will be reduced, and their behavior tends to deviate from school norms and expectations, thus leading to problematic behaviors, such as PMPU ( Zhu et al, 2015 ; Chen Y. et al, 2021 ). Not only can AB predict PMPU, but also PMPU can predict AB.…”

IntroductionIn recent years, the relationship between academic burnout (AB) and problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) has become the hot issue of scholars, and a lot of related research has been carried out, but the results are different. Most studies showed that there was a significant positive correlation between AB and PMPU. However, some studies showed that the relationship between AB and PMPU was not significant. While this study aimed at exploring the relationship between AB and PMPU, as well as the influence of some moderating factors (region, age, gender, publication year, the measurement instrument) on them.MethodsAccording to the searching process for studies of PRISMA, we searched the related studies on AB and PMPU in Mainland China from January 2012 to November 2022 from CNKI, Wanfang Data, Chongqing VIP Information Co., Ltd. (VIP), Baidu scholar, ProQuest dissertations, Taylor & Francis, Springer, Web of Science, Google Scholar, EBSCO and PsyclNFO. Eventually, 50 studies were included in the meta-analysis, involving 38,488 subjects, with the sample size ranging from 193 to 2,260. CMA 3.0 was used to analyze the overall effect and test the moderating effect.ResultsThe result shows that the relationship between AB and PMPU can be considered as a moderate correlation (r = 0.414, 95%CI [0.384, 0.443]), and moderator analysis shows that the relationship between AB and PMPU was moderated by the measurement instrument and publication year.DiscussionSpecifically, when the Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale and the Smartphone Addiction Scale for College Students were used as PMPU measurement tools, the correlation coefficients between AB and PMPU were higher. When the publication year was used as a moderating variable, the relationship between AB and PMPU increased over the years.Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022347277, identifier PROSPERO CRD42022347277.
