Abstract: Based on limited resource model of self-control, this study examines the effect and mechanism of childhood abuse on Internet addiction. Participants were 1162 college students. We adopt childhood abuse scale, self-control scale, gratitude scale and Internet addiction scale. The results were as follows:(1)Childhood abuse was negatively correlated with self-control and gratitude, and significantly positively related to Internet Addiction; self-control was positively correlated with gratitude and negatively correlated with Internet addiction; gratitude and Internet addiction were negatively correlated. (2)Self-control mediated the relationship between childhood abuse and Internet addiction. (3)The first half of this mediating path "childhood abuse→self-control→Internet addiction" was moderated by gratitude; compared to the individuals with high gratitude, childhood abuse had smaller impact on the self-control of individuals with low gratitude.
