Abstract: This study aims to identify different types of family functioning trajectories during junior high school years, investigate their influence on 9th Grade Internet addiction, and further examine the mediating role of resilience between them. In a sample of 1301 junior high school students, this study assessed these constructs via the Family Functioning Questionnaire, the Internet Addiction Scale and the Psychological Resilience Questionnaire over three years. The results showed that: (1) Four heterogenetic types of family functioning trajectories were identified over the three-year period in junior high school—“consistently low” (family functioning) group (12.5%), “consistently high” group (68.5%), “low but increasing” group (10.1%), and “high but decreasing” group (9.0%); (2) Compared to individuals in the “consistently high” group, the ones in the “high but decreasing” and the “consistently low” groups had significantly higher levels of Internet addiction in 9th Grade, and the ones in the “low but increasing” group had significantly lower levels of Internet addiction in 9th Grade; (3) When using the “consistently high” group as the reference group, individuals’ resilience at 9th Grade significantly mediated the association between family functioning trajectories (specifically in the “high but decreasing”, “consistently low”, and “low but increasing” groups) and their 9th Grade Internet addition.
