Abstract:
According to the I-PACE model, this study focused on the role of need satisfaction and negative coping styles in the relationship between the Dark Triad (i.e., Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism) and internet gaming disorder (IGD). In a sample of 749 emerging adult gamers, a multiple mediation model with Dark Triad as the distal variable, psychological need satisfaction and negative coping style as mediating variables, and IGD as the outcome variable was tested. Results indicated that Machiavellianism and psychopathy were found to be significant predictors of IGD when mediated by psychological need satisfaction and negative coping styles. Narcissism predicts IGD only through the indirect effect of negative coping styles. The findings enhanced our understanding that Machiavellianism and psychopathy are characterized by compensatory use of internet games, as well as added new perspectives to the understanding of addiction mechanisms in narcissists.
摘要:
根据I-PACE模型,这项研究的重点是需求满意度和消极应对方式在黑暗三合会之间的关系中的作用(即,马基雅维利主义,精神病,和自恋)和网络游戏障碍(IGD)。在749名新兴成年游戏玩家的样本中,以DarkTriad为远端变量的多重调解模型,心理需求满意度和消极应对方式作为中介变量,和IGD作为结果变量进行了测试。结果表明,当心理需求满意度和消极应对方式介导时,马基雅维利主义和精神病被发现是IGD的重要预测因素。自恋仅通过消极应对方式的间接影响来预测IGD。这些发现增强了我们的理解,即马基雅维利主义和精神病的特点是补偿性使用网络游戏,以及为自恋者成瘾机制的理解增加了新的视角。
