Multiple linear regression analysis (N = 743).
| Internet addiction | ||
|---|---|---|
| Predictor | Beta | |
| LEAP-mother | −.10∗ | |
| LEAP-father | −.02 | |
| Callousness | .24∗∗ | |
| Unemotional | −.05 | |
| Uncaring | −.04 | |
| Cognitive reappraisal | .08∗ | |
| Expressive suppression | .07 | |
| Total R2 | .08∗∗ | |
Note. ∗p < .05; ∗∗p < .001. The interaction effects between all investigated variables (perceived maternal and paternal availability, the two emotion regulation strategies, and the three callous-unemotional traits) and gender, and between all investigated variables (perceived maternal and paternal availability, the two emotion regulation strategies, and the three callous-unemotional traits) and age were tested to examine the possible moderating effects of gender and age. An initial hierarchical regression analysis was run to verify the interaction effects between gender and all investigated variables on Internet addiction. The interaction terms were entered in the second step, but no significant interaction effects were found. Another hierarchical regression analysis was run to verify the interaction effects between age and all investigated variables on Internet addiction. The interaction terms were also entered in the second step, but no significant interaction effects were found.
