Abstract: In order for the precaution and intervention of mobile addiction among college students, the association of security with actual social avoidance and mobile addiction was explored from the perspective of Psychological Decompensation Hypothesis. Totally 420 college students participated in this survey, and they were asked to complete the security questionnaire, social avoidance and distress scale and mobile phone addiction index scale. The results showed there were 49.8% mobile addicts in this survey, and the security of phone addicts was significantly lower than that of general phone dependents. The security had a significantly negative prediction for mobile addiction among phone addicts and general phone dependents. Besides, Actual social avoidance mediated the relation between security and mobile addiction among mobile addicts, but did not mediate this relation among general phone dependents. The findings uncover the specific mechanism underlying the relation between security and phone addiction among mobile addicts, which support Psychological Decompensation Hypothesis, and provide psychological evidences for intervention of security and social interaction during behavior therapy of phone addiction.

Key words: security, actual social avoidance, phone addiction
