证据支持成人依恋取向对社交网站（SNS）成瘾的预测作用，但其潜在机制大多未知。以463名大学生为被试，基于依恋理论，探讨网络社会支持和错过恐惧在不安全依恋与社交网站成瘾之间的中介作用。采用亲密关系体验量表简表、网络社会支持量表、害怕错过量表和中文社交媒体成瘾量表进行问卷调查。结果表明，网络社会支持和错过恐惧在焦虑型依恋与社交网站成瘾之间起平行和串联的中介作用，网络社会支持在回避型依恋与社交网站成瘾之间起负向中介作用。从理论上讲，本研究通过展示不安全依恋与SNS成瘾的联系，为该领域做出了贡献。实际上，这些发现可以帮助未来的SNS成瘾预防和干预研究。最后讨论了本研究的局限性。
Evidence supports predictive roles of adult attachment orientations for the maintenance of social networking site (SNS) addiction, but the underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown. Based on attachment theory, this study explored whether online social support and the fear of missing out mediated the relationship between insecure attachment and social networking site addiction among 463 college students in China. A questionnaire was used to collect data using the Experience in Close Relationship Scale-Short Form, online social support scale, fear of missing out scale, and Chinese Social Media Addiction Scale. The results showed that online social support and fear of missing out mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and social networking site addiction in parallel paths and serially, and online social support negatively mediated the relationship between avoidant attachment and social networking site addiction. Theoretically, the present study contributes to the field by showing how insecure attachment is linked to SNS addiction. Practically, these findings could aid in future studies on SNS addiction prevention and interventions. Limitations of the present study were discussed.
