Abstract: This paper aimed to explore characteristics of reform school students' PIU. Based on this, this study constructed a mediated moderation model to explore whether stressful life events moderated the relationship between sensation seeking and PIU, and whether this moderation effect was mediated by maladaptive cognition. A sample of 519 reform school students of 10 reform schools was recruited in the study to complete self-report questionnaires. The self-report questionnaires used in this study included sensation seeking scale, stressful life events scale, maladaptive cognition questionnaire, and pathological internet use questionnaire. The results indicated that: (1) reform school students had a high level of PIU. About 51.1% of the reform school students had PIU question; (2) the effect of reform school students' sensation seeking on reform school students' PIU was mediated moderating effect. Reform school students' sensation seeking could positively predict PIU. Stressful life events moderated the effect of sensation seeking on PIU. The positive correlation between sensation seeking and PIU was stronger among those who faced to deal with more stressful life events. Maladaptive cognition mediated the moderation effect of stressful life events.

Key words: sensation seeking, stressful life events, maladaptive cognition, pathological internet use, reform school students
