虽然成瘾性互联网使用（AIU）和抑郁症经常在青少年早期共同发生，但其共同发生的机制仍不清楚。本研究的目的是阐明AIU和早期青少年抑郁之间的纵向相互关系。我们采用了一个随机截距交叉滞后模型，以检查AIU和抑郁症之间的纵向相互关系的样本的早期青少年人口包括1361名儿童（年龄在12-13岁的基线）在两年的研究期间。我们的研究结果显示，AIU和抑郁症之间没有显着的纵向相互关系，这表明AIU既不是原因，也不是结果的抑郁症在青少年早期。AIU与抑郁的随机截距显著相关。此外，这两种情况之间的并发关系在所有时间点均具有显著性。这些结果表明，早期青少年与更严重的AIU有更严重的抑郁症。我们还表明，AIU和抑郁症的相同的互惠模式中观察到男性和女性。因此，我们的研究结果表明，在青少年早期，AIU不会影响一年后抑郁症的严重程度，反之亦然，这两种情况有共同的原因。
Although addictive internet use (AIU) and depression frequently co-occur in early adolescents, the mechanism accounting for their co-occurrence remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to clarify the longitudinal reciprocal relationships between AIU and depression in early adolescents. We employed a random intercept cross-lagged model to examine the longitudinal reciprocal relationships between AIU and depression in a sample of the early adolescent population comprising 1361 children (aged 12–13 at baseline) over the two-year study period. Our results revealed no significant longitudinal reciprocal relationship between AIU and depression, suggesting that AIU was neither the cause nor the result of depression in early adolescence. The random intercepts of AIU and depression were significantly correlated. Additionally, the concurrent relationships between these two conditions were significant at all time points. These results indicate that early adolescents with more severe AIU had more severe depression. We also demonstrate that the same reciprocal patterns of AIU and depression were observed in males and females. Therefore, our results suggest that, during the early adolescent period, AIU does not influence the severity of depression a year later and vice versa and that there are common causes for both conditions.
