English abstract:

Objective To discuss the relationship between general self-efficacy and mobile game addiction among middle school students， and to analyse the mediating role of time management disposition.Methods From November 2020 to February 2021， a sample of 667 students were recruited from three middle schools in Jiangxi and Sichuan provinces using cluster sampling method. All selected students were assessed using General Self-Efficacy Scale （GSES）， Mobile Game Addiction Scale and Adolescence Time Management Disposition Inventory （ATMD）. Further， Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results ①The total score of Mobile Game Addiction Scale was negatively correlated with the total scores of GSES and ATMD （r=-0.122， -0.333， P<0.01）. The total score of ATMD was positively correlated with the total score of GSES （r=0.536， P<0.01）. ②General self-efficacy and time management disposition could predict the mobile game addiction negatively （β=-0.333， -0.122， P<0.01）， and general self-efficacy could predict the time management disposition positively （β=0.536， P<0.01）. ③Time management disposition played a full mediating role between general self-efficacy and mobile game addiction， with a mediating effect size of -0.159 （95% CI： -0.213~-0.112， P<0.01）， accounting for 70.38% of the total effect.Conclusion General self-efficacy indirectly affects mobile game addiction via time management disposition.
