Methods:Totally 1 355 female college students in Jinan City were investigated with Life Meaning Scale, School Adjustment Scale and Mobile Phone Addiction Scale.
Results:Score of freshmen’ mobile phone addiction (34.02±7.87) was significantly lower than that of sophomores’ and junior’(36.67±8.03, 37.19±10.40)(F=4.58, P<0.05). Female college students’ life meaning and school adjustment were negatively correlated with mobile phone addiction(r=-0.50, -0.58, P<0.01). Female college students’ life meaning was positively correlated with school adjustment(r=0.51, P<0.01). Having a sense of life meaning and seeking a sense of life meaning could jointly explain 24% of the variation in mobile phone addiction. School adjustment played a complete mediating role between life meaning and mobile phone addiction in female college students.
