Network analysis of interactions of rumination and anxiety on smartphone dependence symptoms by Sen sen Zhang, Sen sen Zhang, Shao hong Yong, Shao hong Yong, Jia tai Chen

“…Therefore, we used the network analysis approach to identify the connections at a micro level to provide possible interventions for reducing SPD symptoms.MethodsUsing symptom-level network analysis, we used the ruminative response scale-10, the generalized anxiety disorder scale-7, and the mobile phone addiction index scale-17 to investigate Chinese preservice teachers (Mage = 21.1, N = 1160). Subsequently, we estimated a graphical lasso correlation network for these teachers, which encompassed rumination components, anxiety components, and SPD symptoms. …”
