Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of behavioral inhibition/activation system on internet addiction among college students, and to investigate the moderating role of social support.Method:From May to June in 2019, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 630 college students in Tianjin by internet addiction questionnaire, social support rating scale and behavioral inhibition activation scale.SPSS 24.0 and PROCESS macro program were used to analyze the data and check the moderating effect.Results:(1)The score of internet addiction scale for college students(2.73±0.63) was negatively correlated with the scores of all dimensions of social support(objective support: 11.06±4.19, r=-0.35, P<0.01; subjective support: 22.14±4.26, r=-0.25, P<0.01; degree of support utilization: 8.22±2.26, r=-0.33, P<0.01), positively correlated with the behavioral inhibition(2.58±0.53, r=0.63, P<0.01) and activition system(2.55±0.43, r=0.53, P<0.01). The behavior inhibition/activation system positivly predicted Internet addiction behavior( β=0.48, 0.17, both P<0.01). (2)The three dimensions of social support played a moderating role between behavioral inhibition system, behavioral activation system and college students' Internet addiction problem( β=0.08-0.16, all P<0.05). Among them, the objective support had the greatest regulatory effect, and the degree of support utilization was the second. Conclusion:The behavior inhibition/activation system has an important influence on the Internet addiction behavior of college students, and social support plays a very important moderating role.
