Problematic Internet use (PIU) has been posited as the negative outcome of unmet psychological needs in real life. The present study, relying on the cognitive-behavioral model of PIU (Brand, Young, & Laier, 2014; Davis, 2001) and self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), investigated the extent to which coping strategies in aversive situations and mindfulness during Internet use serve as mediating mechanisms in the relation between need satisfaction and generalized PIU (GPIU; dependency on multiple functions of the Internet). Path analysis on a sample of 165 Turkish early adolescents (Mage = 12.88, SD = .83; 49.1% females) found that need satisfaction was negatively related to PIU via low avoidant coping and high mindfulness in Internet engagement. The findings support the pathways from disadvantageous social context to GPIU suggested by Brand and colleagues’ (2014) model of GPIU and additionally show that next to avoidant coping, online mindfulness, an indicator of loss of cognitive control, can be a proximal correlate of GPIU. Interventions for adolescents’ harmonious Internet use could focus, among others, on adolescents’ need satisfaction, awareness of coping strategies, and development of online mindfulness.

应对与正念

存在问题的互联网使用（PIU）被认为是现实生活中未满足的心理需求的负面结果。本研究依靠PIU的认知行为模型（Brand，Young和Laier，2014年； Davis，2001年）和自决理论（Deci和Ryan，2000年），研究了厌恶情况下应对策略的程度互联网使用过程中的“正念”和“正念”充当需求满足与广义PIU（GPIU；对互联网多种功能的依赖）之间关系的中介机制。对165个土耳其早期青少年（Mage = 12.88，SD = .83； 49.1％的女性）的样本进行的路径分析发现，需要满足感与PIU呈负相关，这是由于避免回避的应对力低和互联网参与度高而引起的。该发现支持了布兰德及其同事（2014年）的GPIU模型所建议的从不利的社会环境到GPIU的途径，此外还表明，除了避免应对之外，在线正念（一种失去认知控制的指标）可能是GPIU的近端相关因素。 。青少年对互联网和谐使用的干预措施可能尤其关注青少年的需求满意度，对应对策略的意识以及在线正念的发展。
