With the growing concern about excessive Internet use and accompanying adverse psychosocial outcomes, unveiling the underlying mechanisms related to problematic Internet use has become an important topic to study. The present study examines the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and psychosocial well-being through problematic Internet use. An attempt has also been made to investigate whether negative affect and self-control are useful in explaining the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and problematic Internet use or not. The data was derived from a questionnaire survey of 246 postgraduate management students from a leading business school (approximately 48% females) and structural equation modelling technique was used for data analysis. The results suggest that higher mindfulness is associated with lower problematic Internet use, and the relationship is partially mediated by negative affect and self-control. Problematic Internet use partially mediate the relationship between mindfulness and depression/loneliness (indicators of psychosocial well-being). The study outcomes may prove helpful in empirical understanding of previously unidentified mediating mechanisms through which mindfulness may impact problematic Internet use, which further influences psychosocial well-being. Limitations and future directions, as well as potential implications, are also discussed.

有问题的互联网使用和社会心理幸福感:正念在自我控制和负面影响中的作用

随着人们越来越担心过度使用互联网以及随之而来的不良社会心理后果,揭示与互联网使用问题相关的潜在机制已成为研究的重要课题。本研究通过有问题的互联网使用来检验性格正念与心理社会福祉之间的关系。还尝试调查负面影响和自我控制是否有助于说明性格正念与有问题的Internet使用之间的关系。数据来自对一所领先商学院的246名研究生管理学生的问卷调查(约48%的女性),并使用结构方程建模技术进行了数据分析。结果表明,较高的正念度与较少使用Internet的问题有关,并且这种关系部分地由负面影响和自我控制介导。有问题的互联网使用在一定程度上介导了正念与抑郁/孤独(心理社会幸福指标)之间的关系。研究结果可能有助于实证研究以前未知的中介机制,正念通过中介机制可能影响有问题的互联网使用,从而进一步影响心理社会福祉。还讨论了局限性和未来方向以及潜在的影响。有问题的互联网使用部分地介导了正念与抑郁/孤独(心理社会幸福指标)之间的关系。这项研究结果可能有助于实证了解以前无法确定的中介机制,正念通过中介机制可能影响有问题的互联网使用,从而进一步影响心理社会福祉。还讨论了局限性和未来方向以及潜在的影响。有问题的互联网使用在一定程度上介导了正念与抑郁/孤独(心理社会幸福指标)之间的关系。这项研究结果可能有助于实证了解以前无法确定的中介机制,正念通过中介机制可能影响有问题的互联网使用,从而进一步影响心理社会福祉。还讨论了局限性和未来方向以及潜在的影响。
