With the development and popularization of smart phones,mobile phones have become an indispensable item in people's life.In the meantime,the dangers caused by excessive use of mobile phones cannot be underestimated.From a large number of studies,it had been found that the excessive use of mobile phones due to the demand for mobile phones has increasingly influenced the study and work of college students.This phenomenon and problem are more and more concerned by scholars nowadays.Previous studies on cell phone dependence had been rich,focusing on the consequences and effects of cell phone dependence,and little research had been done on its internal mechanism.Among them,personality traits and coping style are related to cell phone dependence,while time management tendency can effectively predict Internet addiction.Although scholars from various countries had studied the above three variables,none of them had studied together their personality traits,time management tendencies,coping styles,and mobile phone dependence.Therefore,the key to this study is to examine and understand the role that time management tendencies can play in the influence of personality traits on mobile phone dependence,and at the same time the role that coping styles can play in the three.This study mainly used the questionnaire method to collect data,and collected data of 395 students who were freshmen and seniors in the university.The questionnaire was a questionnaire for college students'mobile addiction tendency scale,EPQ-RSC,ATMD and simple coping style scale,which mainly carried out correlation analysis and regression analysis of personality traits,time management tendency,coping style and mobile phone dependence of college students,and established the mediating role of time management tendency and the moderating effect model of coping style.The results showed that:1.For college students of different genders and different majors,there was significant difference in their cell phone dependence;It is clear that there was no significant difference between that student of different sexes,the student of different origin and the mobile phone in the three aspects of the only child;2.Both spiritual quality and neuroticism personality could positively predict the mobile phone dependence.In other words,when it is a spiritual quality and neuroticism personality,the individual's cell phone dependence will be stronger;3.There was a significant negative correlation between college students' time management tendency and mobile phone dependence.In other words,students with stronger time management ability will have lower dependence on mobile phones.4.There was a significant negative correlation between college student coping style and mobile phone dependence.In other words,when a positive coping style is adopted to face pressure or events,the degree of dependence on the mobile phone will be reduced;5.Time management tended to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between spiritual quality,neuroticism and cell phone dependence.In other words,spiritual quality and neuroticism personality will have an impact on cell phone dependence,and part of the influence is the tendency of time management.6.The coping style had the moderating effect on the mediating effect of time management tendency on the spiritual quality and the mediating effect of the cell phone dependence.In other words,when the individual is spiritual quality,in the event of stress or difficulty,if a relatively positive coping style can be used to solve the problem,the individual's time management consciousness will be stimulated.The role of time management capabilities will be strengthened to prevent or mitigate the dependence on mobile phones.However,if you adopt a relatively negative coping style,it will make the indirect effects of time management not play well,and then generate mobile phone dependence.
