ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the relationship among mobile phone addiction, locus of control and anxiety in college students.@*Methods@#Using Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI), Internality, Powerful Others, and Chance Scale (IPC), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), 826 college students were surveyed and the data were analyzed by SPSS17.0 and Amos24.0.@*Results@#73.6% college students had mobile phone dependence. College students being addicted to mobile phone got higher scores on chance(20.17±6.65), powerful others(18.74±7.45) and anxiety(45.95±10.41)than non-cellphone dependent students (chance(17.09±6.67), powerful others(15.03±7.65)and anxiety(40.44±8.29)). There were significant differences(all P<0.01). The scores on mobile phone addiction were positively related to chance, powerful others and anxiety (r=0.289, r=0.261, r=0.267, P<0.01). Anxiety played a partial mediating role between chance and mobile phone addiction and the mediating effect was 26.6%.@*Conclusion@#Chance can directly predict mobile phone addiction or indirectly predict cell phone addiction through anxiety.
