摘要

Guided by compensatory Internet use theory and the interaction of person-affect-cognition-execution model, the current study aimed to investigate the relation between father–child and mother–child cohesion and social media addiction, and explore the mediating role of depressive symptoms and the moderating role of extraversion. A total of 1567 Chinese adolescents (55.10% female, Mage = 15.41, SD = 0.51 at baseline) participated in the current study over three time points across 12 months. The mediation model was employed to explore the longitudinal relation between father–child cohesion/mother–child cohesion and social media addiction, and test the longitudinal mediating role of depressive symptoms. After controlling age, sex, depressive symptoms at T1, social media addiction at T1 and T2, and the educational level and employment status of participants’ parents, the findings revealed that both father–child and mother–child cohesion at T1 negatively predicted social media addiction at T3. Moreover, depressive symptoms at T2 fully mediated the relation between both father–child and mother–child cohesion at T1 and social media addiction at T3. Latent moderated structural equation modeling showed that extraversion strengthened the protective effect of both father–child and mother–child cohesion at T1 on depressive symptoms at T2. These findings contribute to the understanding of how parent–child cohesion influences adolescents’ social media addiction and offer valuable insights for future research and intervention strategies.
