Abstract: A total of 1389 junior middle school students were tested by questionnaires to examine the mediating effect of school engagement and the moderating effect of parent-adolescent relationship between parental corporal punishment and adolescent Internet gaming addiction (IGA). The results indicated that:(1) After controlling gender, age, average monthly income and parents' education levels, parental corporal punishment significantly positively predicted adolescents' IGA; (2) School engagement partially mediated the relationship between parental corporal punishment and adolescents' IGA; (3) The mother-adolescent relationship moderated the indirect link "parental corporal punishment → school engagement → IGA". Specifically, for adolescents with high mother-adolescent relationship, parental corporal punishment could weaken their school engagement, which in turn increased the likelihood of IGA. However, this indirect link was nonsignificant for adolescents with low mother-adolescent relationship.

Key words: adolescent, parental corporal punishment, parent-adolescent relationship, school engagement, internet gaming addiction
