Abstract：
There is emerging research interest in exploring the relationship between distress intolerance and problematic Internet use, yet most of the existing studies are limited by cross-sectional design, convenience sampling method, and poor understanding of the potential mediating and moderating factors involved. Based on the distress intolerance theory of addictive behavior and the theory of compensatory internet use, this study investigated a moderated mediation model to explain the impact of distress intolerance on problematic Internet use in adolescents.
A three-wave longitudinal survey was conducted with 709 adolescents in Shanghai, China. The gender distribution was even, 50.2% were boys and 49.8% were girls. The mean age at T1 was 14.79 years (SD = 2.87).
Distress intolerance at Time 1 was found to positively predict problematic Internet use at Time 3. This prospective relation was mediated by adolescents\' coping motives for Internet use at Time 2. Further, the mediation effect of coping motives for Internet use was moderated by need frustration at Time 2. The moderated mediation model was statistically equivalent for both genders.
Findings of this study contribute to new knowledge and have practical implications for prevention and intervention of adolescent problematic Internet use.

摘要：
有新的研究兴趣探索痛苦不容忍和有问题的互联网使用之间的关系，然而，大多数现有的研究都受到横截面设计的限制，方便抽样方法，以及对所涉及的潜在中介和调节因素的理解不足。基于成瘾行为的痛苦不容忍理论和补偿性互联网使用理论，这项研究调查了一个有调节的调解模型,以解释青少年中的困扰不耐受对有问题的互联网使用的影响.
对上海709名青少年进行了三波纵向调查，中国。性别分布均匀，50.2%是男孩，49.8%是女孩。T1时的平均年龄为14.79岁（SD=2.87）。
发现时间1的困扰不容忍积极预测时间3的有问题的互联网使用。这种前瞻性关系是由青少年在时间2使用互联网的应对动机介导的。Further,应对动机对互联网使用的调解效果受到时间2的需求挫折的调节。调节的调解模型在统计上对两种性别都是等效的。
这项研究的发现有助于获得新的知识，并对预防和干预青少年有问题的互联网使用具有实际意义。
