A sample of 1127 junior high school students from Taiwan completed a self-report battery that included measures of depression, online social support, real-life social support, refusal self-efficacy of Internet use, and IA. The prevalence of depression and IA are 44.6% and 23% respectively. Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping analysis results showed that IA was significantly and positively predicted by depression and mediated by refusal self-efficacy of Internet use. Moreover, the results of the moderated mediation analyses revealed that real-life and online social support played a moderating role in the indirect effects of depression on IA through refusal self-efficacy of Internet use, such that indirect effects were attenuated by an increase of online social support, and in contrast, those effects promoted the increase of real-life social support. The results supported the TTI framework and the buffering hypothesis. The moderated mediating role of online and real-life social support and refusal of self-efficacy of Internet use in the relationship between depression and IA were discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
