借鉴自我决定理论和问题行为理论，我们检验了父母心理控制与青少年有问题的手机使用之间的关系，以及基本心理需要体验（即需要挫折和满足）和负性情感在该关系中的序列中介作用。共有4299名中国青少年（46%男孩，Mage= 14.48岁，SD = 1.90）参与了这项研究。我们使用Mplus 8.0中的结构方程模型来测试串行中介机制。在结构方程模型中控制青少年的性别、年龄、社会期望得分和家庭社会经济地位后，我们发现父母的心理控制与青少年的需求挫折和有问题的手机使用呈正相关，与他们的需求满足呈负相关。需求满足和需求挫败分别与负面情绪呈负相关和正相关。然而，仅需要挫折就可以部分调节父母心理控制与手机使用问题之间的关系。值得注意的是，需求满足/沮丧和负面影响依次调节了父母心理控制与手机使用问题之间的关系。其他多组分析显示了一些性别和年龄差异。目前的研究为有效的育儿提供了重要的启示，避免青少年的基本心理需求受挫，并进一步防止他们有问题的手机使用。
Drawing on self-determination theory and problem-behavior theory, we tested the relation between parental psychological control and adolescents’ problematic mobile phone use, and the sequential mediation effects of basic psychological need experiences (i.e., need frustration and satisfaction) and negative affect in this relation. A total of 4299 Chinese adolescents (46% boys,Mage= 14.48 years, SD = 1.90) participated in this study. We employed structural equation modeling in Mplus 8.0 to test the serial mediation mechanisms. After controlling for adolescents’ gender, age, social desirability scores, and family socioeconomic status in the structural equation model, we found that parental psychological control was positively associated with adolescents’ need frustration and problematic mobile phone use and was negatively associated with their need satisfaction. Need satisfaction and need frustration were negatively and positively associated with negative affect, respectively. However, only need frustration partially mediated the relation between parental psychological control and problematic mobile phone use. Notably, need satisfaction/frustration and negative affect sequentially mediated the relation between parental psychological control and problematic mobile phone use. Additional multiple-group analyses showed some gender and age differences. The present research provides important implications for effective parenting that avoids frustrating adolescents’ basic psychological needs and further prevents their problematic mobile phone use.
