Abstract: In order to explore the relationship and mechanism among mobile phone dependence, academic burnout, coping style and mental health among adolescents, 1191 adolescents were tested by using Mobile Phone Addiction Index, Student Burnout Inventory for Junior Middle School Students, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Symptom Checklist 90. The analysis results of structural equation modeling techniques showed that: (1) Mobile phone dependence was a significant negative predictor of adolescents’ mental health; (2) Academic burnout mediated the relationship between mobile phone dependence and mental health; (3) Negative coping style played moderator role in the second half mediating effects, compared with adolescents with low negative coping, the mediating effect was more significant in adolescents with high negative coping. The results of this study have positive implications for the maintenance and promotion of adolescents’ mental health in the era of mobile Internet.

Key words: mobile phone dependence, academic burnout, coping style, mental health, adolescents
