摘要：
Mobile Internet and social media have greatly changed the way that adolescents communicate. The current study investigated the effect of mobile social media use on adolescents' self-identity, and explored the mediating role of friendship quality and the moderating role of gender. A total of 473 Chinese adolescents participated in the investigation. Results indicated that mobile social media used was positively correlated with adolescents' self-identity and friendship quality. Moreover, friendship quality mediated the relationship between mobile social media use and adolescents' self-identity. That is, adolescents' mobile social media use was associated with a higher quality of friendship, which, in turn, contributed to their formation of self-identity. In addition, gender moderated the relation between mobile social media use and friendship quality, such that this relation was stronger for males than for females.
