Abstract: Objective To explore the impact of social support on college students' mobile phone addiction,analyze the mediating role of self-control and stress coping style between social support and mobile phone addiction. Methods The mobile phone addiction index(MPAI),social support rate scale(SSRS),self-control scale(SCS) and simplified coping style questionnaire(SCSQ) were used to investigate the students in two colleges in Yunnan Province from April to May 2021,and the data were analyzed. Results The scores of mobile phone addiction,social support,self-control,positive coping style and negative coping style of the students in two colleges in Yunnan Province were (42.73±12.27),(38.44±6.55),(63.97±10.84),(21.42±6.58) and (9.86±4.05) points,respectively. The mobile phone addiction wasnegatively correlated with social support,self-control and positive coping style (r=-0.161,-0.591,-0.079,all P<0.01),and positively correlated with negative coping style(r=0.211,P<0.01). The social support was positively correlated with self-control and positive coping(r=0.277,0.289,both P<0.01). The self-control was positively correlated with positive coping style(r=0.264,P<0.01) and negatively correlated with negative coping style(r=-0.285,P<0.01).Both self-control and positive coping style played a mediating role between social support and mobile phone addiction,the mediating effect value of the former was -0.152,accounting for 58.015% of the total effect,and the mediating effect value of the latter was -0.016,accounting for 6.107% of the total effect. The self-control and positive coping style played a chain intermediary role between social support and mobile phone addiction in college students,and the chain intermediary effect value was -0.004,accounting for 1.527% of the total effect. Conclusion The college students' social support indirectly affects mobile phone addiction through the chain intermediary of self-control and positive coping,which can negatively predict the trend of mobile phone addiction.
