Abstract: The present study examined whether hope mediated the relationship between parents neglect and online gaming addiction, and whether this mediating process was moderated by gender. A sample of 805 students from Grade 8 (mean age=13.38, SD=0.63) completed anonymous questionnaires. After control for every-week online time and age of Internet using, the results revealed that:(1) parent neglect was positively associated with online gaming addiction; (2) the relation between parents neglect and online gaming addiction was totally mediated by hope; (3) the effect of parents neglect on hope was moderated by gender, with the effect being stronger for boys. Implications for prevention of online gaming addiction are discussed.
