Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between social exclusion, rumination, executive function and mobile phone addiction among college students.Methods:From November to December 2023, a total of 516 college students were investigated by social exclusion questionnaire for undergraduate, ruminative responses scale, the Geurten-questionnaire of executive functioning in Chinese college students and mobile phone addiction tendency scale. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for common method bias test, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and PROCESS 3.5 macro program was used to test the mediation effect.Results:Social exclusion (31.21±12.69), rumination (42.85±12.38), executive function (71.46±9.41), and college students' mobile phone addiction tendency (43.53±11.74) were all significantly and positively correlated with each other ( r=0.299-0.500, all P<0.01). The direct effect of social exclusion on mobile phone addiction was significant (effect size=0.138, 95% CI=0.048-0.228), accounting for 37.91%(0.138/0.364) of the total effect. Rumination had a mediating effect between social exclusion and mobile phone addiction (effect size=0.053, 95% CI=0.001-0.112), accounting for 14.56%(0.053/0.364) of the total effect. Executive function mediates the relationship between social exclusion and mobile phone addiction (effect size=0.137, 95% CI=0.091-0.188), accounting for 37.64%(0.137/0.364) of the total effect.Rumination and executive function has a chain mediating effect between social exclusion and mobile phone addiction (effect size=0.036, 95% CI=0.016-0.061), accounting for 9.89%(0.036/0.364) of the total effect. Conclusion:Social exclusion can directly affect mobile phone addiction in college students and can also influence mobile phone addiction in college students through the independent mediating effects of rumination and executive function, as well as the chain mediating effect of rumination and executive function.
