本纵向研究考察了三个时间点（COVID-19爆发前、COVID-19爆发初期和COVID-19爆发恢复期）的问题互联网使用（问题智能手机使用、问题社交媒体使用和问题游戏）和COVID-19相关心理困扰（对COVID-19的恐惧和担忧）的变化。共有504名中国学童在三个时间点完成了有关网络使用问题和心理困扰的测量。使用潜类分析（LCA）将参与者分为三组，包括组1（最低水平），组2（中等水平）和组3（最高水平）。统计分析显示，在三个时间点上，当第三组参与者的互联网相关活动的问题使用下降时，第一组和第二组的参与者的互联网相关活动的问题使用增加了。虽然两组间对COVID-19感染的担忧没有差异，但在COVID-19恢复期，2组和3组对COVID-19的恐惧水平明显高于1组。回归分析显示，问题网络使用的变化预测了恢复期间对COVID-19的恐惧。学龄儿童互联网使用问题的不同程度反映了在2019冠状病毒病暴发和恢复期附加行为的不同变化趋势。
The present longitudinal study examined the changes in problematic internet use (problematic smartphone use, problematic social media use, and problematic gaming) and changes in COVID-19-related psychological distress (fear of COVID-19 and worry concerning COVID-19) across three time-points (before the COVID-19 outbreak, during the initial stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, and during the COVID-19 outbreak recovery period). A total of 504 Chinese schoolchildren completed measures concerning problematic internet use and psychological distress across three time-points. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to classify participants into three groups of problematic internet use comprising Group 1 (lowest level), Group 2 (moderate level), and Group 3 (highest level). Statistical analyses showed that as problematic use of internet-related activities declined among Group 3 participants across the three time points, participants in Group 1 and Group 2 had increased problematic use of internet-related activities. Although there was no between-group difference in relation to worrying concerning COVID-19 infection, Groups 2 and 3 had significantly higher levels of fear of COVID-19 than Group 1 during the COVID-19 recovery period. Regression analysis showed that change in problematic internet use predicted fear of COVID-19 during the recovery period. The varied levels of problematic internet use among schoolchildren reflect different changing trends of additive behaviors during COVID-19 outbreak and recovery periods.
