Abstract
This study explores the link between adolescent mobile phone snubbing behavior and college students' mobile phone addiction, considering parental and peer snubbing behaviors and self-control as mediators. A survey of 510 college students in Henan Province revealed key findings. Adolescent snubbing behavior negatively correlates with self-control but positively with parental and peer snubbing, as well as mobile phone addiction. Self-control, in contrast, negatively correlates with these factors. Parental snubbing behavior positively correlates with peer snubbing and mobile phone addiction, while peer snubbing behavior also positively correlates with mobile phone addiction. Notably, self-control and peer snubbing behavior play significant mediating roles between adolescent snubbing behavior and mobile phone addiction. Adolescent snubbing behavior not only directly impacts mobile phone addiction but also indirectly through self-control and peer snubbing behavior. Although parental snubbing behavior does not directly mediate this relationship, it still influences it through these factors.
