本研究探讨了(1)多种类型儿童虐待与网络成瘾之间的关系，以及(2)创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）在这些关系中的中介作用。本研究于2014年对台湾地区6233名四年级学生进行了全国按比例分层随机抽样。我们通过双变量相关和多元回归分析来检验多种虐待类型（共5种类型）与网络成瘾之间的关系，并确定创伤后应激障碍的中介作用。结果显示，男性和遭受虐待（心理忽视、身体忽视、父亲身体暴力、性暴力）与儿童患创伤后应激障碍和网络成瘾的风险增加有关。此外，创伤后应激障碍介导多种类型的虐待（除了母亲的身体暴力）与网络成瘾之间的关联。本研究证明(1)多种类型的虐待对儿童创伤后应激障碍和网络成瘾的影响；(2)早期预防和干预在解决相关公共卫生问题中的重要性。(C) 2015年作者。Elsevier Ltd.出版。
This study examines (1) the associations between multiple types of child maltreatment and Internet addiction, and (2) the mediating effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on these associations. We collected data from a national proportionately stratified random sample of 6233 fourth-grade students in Taiwan in 2014. We conducted bivariate correlations and sets of multiple regression analyses to examine the associations between multiple types of maltreatment (5 types in total) and Internet addiction, and to identify the mediating role of PTSD. The results reveal that being male and experiencing abuse (psychological neglect, physical neglect, paternal physical violence, sexual violence) were associated with increased risk among children of developing PTSD and Internet addiction. Moreover, PTSD mediated the associations between multiple types of maltreatment (except maternal physical violence) and Internet addiction. This study demonstrates (1) the effects of multiple types of maltreatment on the PTSD and Internet addiction of children and (2) the importance of early prevention and intervention in addressing related public-health concerns.
