Abstract Objective To explore the relations among peer phubbing, social self-efficacy, loneliness, and mobile phone addiction of high school students. Methods By using peer phubbing scale, social self-efficacy scale, UCLA loneliness scale, and mobile phone addiction scale, 14 036 high school students from five schools in Zizhong County, Sichuan Province completed a cross-section questionnaire survey. Correlation analysis and chain mediation effect test were carried out on relevant data. Results Correlation analysis showed that peer phubbing was significantly positively correlated with loneliness and mobile phone addiction, but significantly negatively correlated with social self-efficacy. Loneliness was significantly positively correlated with mobile phone addiction. Social self-efficacy was significantly negatively correlated with loneliness and mobile phone addiction. Mediation analysis showed that peer phubbing had a significant direct effect on high school students’ mobile phone addiction. Social self-efficacy and loneliness played a single mediating role and a chain mediating role respectively in the effect of peer phubbing on mobile phone addiction in high school students. The total indirect effect accounted for 24.3%. Conclusion The peer phubbing can directly increase the risk of mobile phone addiction in high school students. Social self-efficacy and loneliness are the internal psychological mechanisms behind this relationship.
