題目：兒童情緒調節對 COVID-19 疫情期間網路成癮的影響：憂鬱的中介角色

研究摘要：

在COVID-19疫情期間，網路成癮 （Internet Addiction, 簡稱IA） 和憂鬱症為全球人口帶來了重大的公共衛生挑戰。本研究旨在檢驗 IA、兒少情緒調解策略和憂鬱症狀之間的關係，並欲辯識出憂鬱和 IA 的保護因子。研究結果顯示，在疫情期間，經常壓抑情緒的兒童，憂鬱症狀及網路成癮的程度較高。相反地，那些比較常用認知再評估（也就是換個角度、用正向思考來面對情緒）的兒童，憂鬱或網路成癮的程度則明顯較低。這證實了認知再評估是一種有效的保護因子，能幫助兒童在疫情這樣壓力大的情況下，減少憂鬱與網路成癮的風險。

Title: The influence of children's emotional regulation on internet addiction during the COVID-19 pandemic: the mediating role of depression

Abstract:

Internet addiction (IA) and depression present significant public health challenges, especially during a pandemic. Previous research conducted outside of pandemic contexts highlighted the importance of emotional regulation (ER) for depression, with specific strategies such as cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES) showing effectiveness in predicting the internalization of problems. However, knowledge regarding ER strategies for depression and IA during the pandemic remains limited, thus hindering our implementation of effective strategies. This study aimed to examine the relationships between IA, ER strategies, and depressive symptoms, and to identify protective factors against depression and IA. Additionally, it sought to investigate the mediating role of depressive symptoms. Data were collected from 824 students across the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. Results highlight the risks associated with ES for both depressive symptoms and IA, while CR demonstrates potential in reducing depressive symptoms and IA. Interventions that promote the development of CR and discourage reliance on ES can effectively mitigate depressive symptoms and IA.
