手機成癮作為互聯網時代個體所特有的心理及行為問題,受到了社會各界的廣泛關注。手機成癮流行率的研究積累了豐富的實證成果,但結果之間分歧較大。為澄清該領域的爭議,解釋影響手機成癮流行率的原因,本研究采用元分析方法探討全球手機成癮流行率及其影響因素。共174項研究,包含178個獨立效應量納入元分析(n=145 380)。選擇隨機效應模型分析發現,全球手機成癮整體流行率為28.3%,其中文化背景、測量工具、出版年代對手機成癮流行率有顯著影響,而年齡階段的影響不顯著。結果表明,相比其他行為成癮,手機成癮是目前全球最普遍的成癮類型之一,支持了關系文化理論和成癮易得性假說。

The mobile phone addiction is a unique psychological and behavioral problem in the Internet era. A number of studies have examined the prevalence of mobile phone addiction, but the results are inconsistent. In order to clarify the controversies in this field and explain the reasons affecting the prevalence of mobile phone addiction, this study used the meta-analysis method to explore the global prevalence of mobile phone addiction and its influencing factors. The current study contained 174 research literatures,including 178 independent effect sizes, with a total of 145,380 participants. Random effects model was selected for analysis, and it was found that global prevalence of mobile phone addiction was 28.3%. Furthermore, the cultural background, assessment tools and the year of publication had significant effect on the prevalence of mobile phone addiction, while the age stage had no significant effect. Compared with other behavior addictions, these results indicate that the mobile phone addiction is one of the most common addiction types in the world, supporting the relational-cultural theory and accessibility hypothesis.
