摘要

As interest in understanding the psychological and behavioral aspects of smartphone use continues to grow, researchers have begun to explore factors that may promote more reflective patterns of interaction with smartphones. Among these factors, individual traits and family environments have been highlighted as potentially relevant to reflective smartphone disengagement. However, the specific mechanisms underlying these associations remain inadequately understood. This study investigates the associations among personal growth initiative, self-discipline, and reflective smartphone disengagement. Additionally, it explores how this relationship varies within the context of parental phubbing. For all constructs, 734 Chinese college students completed validated and standardized self-reported questionnaires. The results suggested that personal growth initiative not only positively predicted reflective smartphone disengagement, but also indirectly through the mediating effect of self-discipline. Moreover, the strength of the association between personal growth initiative and both reflective smartphone disengagement and self-discipline appeared lower in contexts of higher parental phubbing. In contrast, the association between self-discipline and reflective smartphone disengagement appeared stronger under such conditions. The research findings indicate that parental phubbing may diminish the positive associations between personal growth initiative and its potential outcomes. However, fostering self-discipline can still enable individuals to develop more positive and healthy smartphone usage habits, even in challenging family environments.
