虽然许多研究已经研究了影响智能手机使用问题的因素，但很少有人研究不同类型的动机和心理社会健康因素之间的相互作用，以促进智能手机的使用问题。因此，本研究分析了感知压力对娱乐或逃避现实动机与智能手机使用问题之间关系的调节作用。使用600名典型智能手机用户的样本研究发现：（1）在问题使用得分高的用户中，感知压力调节了娱乐动机与问题智能手机使用之间的关系，以及逃避动机与问题智能手机使用之间的关系;（二）感知压力调节了娱乐动机和有问题的使用之间的关系，并且在有问题的智能手机得分低的用户中也是如此使用，但对于这些用户的压力并没有缓和逃避现实的动机和有问题的使用之间的关系。我们的研究强调了未解决的现实问题在促进有问题的智能手机使用方面的重要性，这表明当研究人员为过度依赖智能手机的人设计干预措施时，这些问题的解决可能是一个很好的起点。
Although numerous studies have examined factors that influence problematic smartphone use, few have investigated the interactions between different types of motivation and psychosocial well-being factors in facilitating problematic smartphone use. Thus, this study analyzed the moderating role of perceived stress on the relationship between entertainment or escapism motivation and problematic smartphone use. Using a sample of 600 typical smartphone users (Chinese college students) we found: (1) Perceived stress moderates the relationship between entertainment motivation and problematic smartphone use, and between escapism motivation and problematic smartphone use among users scoring high on problematic use; (2) perceived stress moderated the relationship between entertainment motivation and problematic use also among users scoring low on problematic smartphone use, but for these users stress did not moderate the relationship between escapism motivation and problematic use. Our study highlights the importance of unresolved real-life problems in facilitating problematic smartphone use, suggesting that the resolution of these problems might be a good starting point when researchers design interventions for people excessively relying on smartphones.
