Abstract

Purposes To explore the relationship between college students' family function, self-differentiation and mobile phone dependence. Methods Using convenient sampling, 430 undergraduates were selected from a college in Wuhan City. Questionnaires using Mobile Phone Dependency Index (MPAI), Family Function Rating Scale (FAD) and Self-Differentiated Questionnaire (DSI).Results The scores of boys' mobile phone dependence scores were significantly higher than those of girls. The grades of seniors were significantly higher than those of other grades. The family function and self-differentiation of the normal group were better than those of mobile phone dependent groups. The results of mediation regression analysis showed that the scores of self-differentiation were taken into consideration. The predictive function of family function on mobile phone dependence is significant but has weakened. Conclusion Self-differentiation has partial mediation in the relationship between family function and mobile phone dependence.
