Abstract

Social avoidance and distress and mobile phone addiction are typical psychobehavioral problems in early adolescence. However, no studies have examined their co-occurrence patterns and the role of self-compassion. This study used personal-oriented analysis to examine the co-occurrence patterns of social avoidance and distress and mobile phone addition and the protective role of self-compassion in 993 first year junior high school students (49.9% female) over a one year period with two follow-up assessments.The results showed that the co-occurring subgroups of social avoidance and distress and mobile phone addiction in early adolescence were double-low group, double-medium group, and double-high group. All three subgroups exhibited stability and variability over time. Self-compassion prevented a transition from the double-low and double-medium groups to the double-high group, whereas it did not affect a transition from the double-high group. These findings provide an empirical basis for targeted prevention and mitigation of social avoidance and distress and mobile phone addiction in early adolescence.
