Abstract: A sample of 500 students who claimed cell phone ownership were recruited to explore the characteristics of new media dependence (including internet addiction and cell-phone dependence) and its association with parental factors and refusal self-efficacy.Results showed: (1) There were 40% and 19.8% of adolescents respectively found to be marginal internet addicts and cell-phone dependents.In addition,46.4% of adolescent reported at least one kind of dependent behaviors.Significant association was found between the two kinds of new media dependence behaviors.(2) New media dependence behaviors were significantly associated with refusal selfefficacy,parental attitudes towards dependence behaviors and parental monitoring.Refusal self-efficacy completely mediated the effect of parental behaviors and attitudes on adolescent new media dependence behavior.In addition, refusal self-efficacy partially mediated the effect of parental monitoring on adolescent new media dependence behaviors.The implications of designing effective adolescent new media dependence behaviors prevention intervention program were also addressed in the present study.

Key words: Parental factor, refusal self-efficacy, adolescents, new media dependence behaviors
