AI simplified
Abstract
A total of 1591 university students were surveyed to examine the links between , , and .
- Physical-emotional abuse significantly predicted both Internet addiction and anxiety among university students (β = 0.157, β = 0.271, p < 0.001).
- When anxiety was included in the analysis, the direct effect of physical-emotional abuse on Internet addiction was no longer significant (β = 0.035, p > 0.05).
- Anxiety fully mediated the relationship between physical-emotional abuse and Internet addiction.
- negatively predicted anxiety (β = -0.062, p < 0.05).
- The interaction between physical-emotional abuse and physical activity also negatively predicted anxiety (β = -0.053, p < 0.05).
- Physical activity moderated the mediation pathway from physical-emotional abuse to anxiety to Internet addiction.
