Abstract: The present study explored the relationship among shyness, alienation, class psychological environment and mobile phone dependence, by surveying 1077 middle school students from two schools in Shandong province with Shyness Scale, Adolescent Alienation Scale, Class Psychological Environment Scale and Mobile Phone Dependence Index Scale. The results showed that:(1) shyness significantly positively predicted middle school students' mobile phone dependence; (2) alienation fully mediated the effect of shyness on mobile phone dependence; (3) class psychological environment moderated the second path of the mediation. In particular, high class psychological environment reduced the impact of alienation on mobile phone dependence, however, extremely high level of alienation, the class psychological environment intensified the individual's mobile phone dependence. These findings have important theoretical value for understanding the complex mechanism of shyness on mobile phone dependence and have practical implications for preventing and reducing mobile phone dependence.

Key words: shyness, mobile phone dependence, alienation, class psychological environment, middle school students
