Abstract

This study builds a moderated mediation model based on ecosystem theory. Through the study of 534 vocational high school students in Chongqing, we investigated their Internet addiction, emotional regulation difficulties, aggressive behavior and family closeness. The results show that: (1) according to demographic statistics, 38.4% of the total number of students were diagnosed with Internet addiction. (2) After controlling for gender, age, family and personal economic status, PIU had a positive predictive effect on aggressive behavior. (3) PIU indirectly affects aggressive behavior through the mediating effect of emotion regulation difficulty. (4) The indirect effect was moderated by family closeness. These results are helpful to understand how family intimacy affects adolescents’ PIU, emotional regulation difficulties and aggressive behavior tendency from the perspective of different subsystems of developmental system theory and their interactions. The prevention and intervention of adolescent PIU should not only pay attention to their psychological state, but also improve the influence of PIU on adolescents’ bad behavior from the aspect of family relationship.
