This study indicated that:(1) Self-regulatory fatigue had a significantly positive prediction for smartphone addiction of undergraduate students; (2) The pursuit of pleasure of undergraduate students mediated the relationship between self-regulatory fatigue and smartphone addiction; (3) The relationship between self-regulatory fatigue and pursuit of pleasure was moderated by connectedness to nature. That is, with connectedness to nature being strengthen, the influence of self-regulatory fatigue on the smartphone addiction of undergraduate students was decreased. Therefore, there was a moderated mediation model between self-regulatory fatigue and smartphone addiction.
