With the popularity of smart mobile devices and the widespread coverage of 4G and wireless networks,people have more convenient ways to use social networks,and mobile social networks have gradually become an indispensable part of people's life and work.Problematic mobile social network refers to the negative consequences of individuals' long-term and intensive use of mobile social network,which leads to further uncontrollable investment of time and energy in social network,and is characterized by psychological distress and physiological discomfort.Teenagers are in an important period of physical and mental development,so they have insufficient self-control and are often unable to resist all kinds of temptations on the Internet,resulting in problematic use of mobile social networks.Previous studies on Internet addiction and mobile phone dependence have shown that perceived social support can predict such behavior problems,so this paper mainly discusses the influence of perceived social support on problematic mobile social network use and the mediating role of loneliness and negative coping style.A total of 858 students from five high schools in two provinces were selected as the research objects,and the negative coping style subscales of perceived social support scale,problematic mobile social network use behavior scale,loneliness scale(UCLA)and simple coping style questionnaire were used as the research tools.The results show that:(1)there is a significant only-child difference in perceived social support,and only-child children have a higher perceived social support level;There were significant differences among different students,and urban students had a higher level of understanding and social support.The loneliness of rural students is higher than that of urban students.There is a significant difference in the negative coping style among students,and the level of negative coping style among rural students is higher.The use of problematic mobile social network has a significant difference in the origin of students,and the use level of problematic mobile social network is higher among rural students.(2)to understand that social support and its dimensions are negatively correlated with loneliness,negative coping style,problematic mobile social network use and its dimensions.There were significant positive correlations among loneliness,negative coping style and problematic mobile social network use.(3)in understanding the predictive effect of social support on problematic mobile social network use,loneliness plays an intermediary role;Loneliness and negative coping style play a chain mediating role.
