Studies exploring excessive Internet use and gambling are rapidly expanding concerns regarding its impact on mental health, especially in young people due to the increased prevalence of Internet and gambling addictions. Research suggests that perceived peer support plays a significant role in adolescents' psychological well-being. However, no empirical study has dealt with the mediating effect of perceived peer support on the relationship between Internet and gambling addictions and psychological well-being. Thus, the present study aimed to examine whether perceived peer support mediates the relation between Internet and gambling addictions and psychological well-being of adolescents. A sample of 347 Iranian adolescents aged 14 to 18 (Mean age 16.14, 50.4% male) who were studying in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia participated in this study. Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS), Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS), Six-item Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ6), and The South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) were used to collect data. Mediation analyses showed a significant indirect effect of compulsive Internet use and problem gambling on psychological well-being through perceived peer support. The total effects of compulsive Internet use and problem gambling on psychological well-being were negative. This study implies the significance of strengthening the knowledge about the impact of peer relationships among adolescents.

上瘾行为对青少年心理健康的影响：同伴支持的中介作用。

关于互联网过度使用和赌博的研究正在迅速扩大其对心理健康的影响，尤其是在年轻人中，这是由于互联网和赌博成瘾的流行所致。研究表明，同伴的支持在青少年的心理健康中起着重要作用。但是，尚无任何实证研究涉及感知到的同伴支持对互联网与赌博成瘾与心理健康之间关系的中介作用。因此，本研究旨在检验知觉的同伴支持是否介导了互联网与赌博成瘾与青少年心理健康之间的关系。在马来西亚吉隆坡学习的347名年龄在14至18岁（平均年龄16.14，男性50.4％）的伊朗青少年参加了该研究。主观生命力量表（SVS），强迫性互联网使用量表（CIUS），六项社会支持调查表（SSQ6）和南奥克斯赌博屏幕（SOGS）用于收集数据。中介分析显示，通过感知的同伴支持，强制性使用互联网和赌博问题对心理健康的显着间接影响。强迫性使用互联网和赌博对心理健康的总体影响为负面。这项研究暗示了加强关于青少年同伴关系影响的知识的重要性。中介分析显示，通过感知的同伴支持，强制性使用互联网和赌博问题对心理健康的显着间接影响。强迫性使用互联网和赌博对心理健康的总体影响为负面。这项研究暗示了加强关于青少年同伴关系影响的知识的重要性。中介分析显示，通过感知的同伴支持，强制性使用互联网和赌博问题对心理健康的显着间接影响。强迫性使用互联网和赌博对心理健康的总体影响为负面。这项研究暗示了加强关于青少年同伴关系影响的知识的重要性。
