To explore the association between negative life events and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction among middle school students.
Using cluster sampling, 8 890 students were selected to survey from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 (baseline) and 2023 (follow-up). Data were collected through self-resigned questionnaires on basic information, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist. Mixed-effects models were employed to analyze the association.
Compared to 2022, the punishment scores of middle school students in 2023 [1.00(0.00, 6.00) and 1.00(0.00, 6.00)] decreased (Z=4.27), while the scores of interpersonal stress, learning stress and adaptation [4.00(0.00, 8.00), 4.00(0.00, 8.00); 4.00(1.00, 8.00), 5.00(2.00, 9.00); 2.00(0.00, 6.00), 3.00(0.00, 7.00)] increased (Z=-3.04, -8.36, -6.80) (P < 0.01). Mixed-effects models revealed a positive dose-response relationship between negative life events and smartphone addiction (OR=1.08-1.17, P < 0.01). Stepwise regression showed independent positive effects of interpersonal stress (OR=1.05), academic stress (OR=1.03), and adaptation stress (OR=1.11) on smartphone addiction (P < 0.01). Subgroup analysis of non-addicted students in 2022 confirmed persistent associations for academic stress (OR=1.03) and adaptation (OR=1.07) (P < 0.01).
Negative life events exhibit a positive dose-response relationship with smartphone addiction, particularly interpersonal stress, academic stress, and adaptation-related events.
