ABSTRACT: This study intends to explore the status quo and relationship between
online social support and online interpersonal trust of urban left-behind
children with internet addiction. First, 217 urban left-behind children with
internet addiction were selected from 3264 urban left-behind Chinese children
using the Adolescent Pathological Internet Use Scale (APIUS), and then the Adolescent Online Social Support Questionnaire and the Adolescent Online Interpersonal Trust Questionnaire were used to collect data
respectively. The results show that: 1) Compared with normal urban left-behind
children, urban left-behind children with
internet addiction have higher online social support and online
interpersonal trust. 2) Among the urban left-behind children with internet addiction, the emotional support,
instrumental support and emotional trust factors of girls are higher
than those of boys. The total score and instrumental trust factor of online interpersonal
trust of middle school girls and primary school boys are higher than those of
middle school boys. 3) The regression effect of online social support on online
interpersonal trust is significant, and the former can positively predict and
affect the latter.
