摘要

Stress is an important factor contributing to internet addiction, yet the relationship between academic stress and internet addiction and its underlying mechanisms are not widely known.The current study aimed to explore the mediating effect of self-concealment between academic stress and internet addiction as well as group differences in academic performance. By convenience sampling, students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of elementary school were selected from Zunyi City, Bijie City and Liupanshui City in Guizhou Province. Data were collected using the Learning Stress Questionnaire, Internet Addiction Questionnaire, and Self-Concealment Scale. A total of 2,000 questionnaires were distributed and collected on site, resulting in 1,931 valid responses. The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. The results indicated a positive correlation between academic stress and internet addiction, as well as between academic stress (r = 0.69, p < 0.001).and self-concealment (r = 0.66, p < 0.001). Self-concealment was also positively correlated with internet addiction (r = 0.63, p < 0.001). Self-concealment played a mediating role between academic stress and internet addiction, with a mediating effect value of 0.07 and a mediating effect size of 7.69%. Academic stress could directly impact internet addiction and could also act through the mediating effect of self-concealment. There were group differences in the impact of adolescent academic stress on internet addiction and its mechanisms in terms of academic performance.
