  1. Note. Three paths with indirect effect were shown in the table. Gender was coded 0 = females, 1 = males. PMPU = problematic mobile phone use; TMD = time management disposition; Boot SE = the standard error of 95% Bootstrap confidence interval of indirect effect; Boot LLCI = lower limits of 95% Bootstrap confidence interval of indirect effect; Boot ULCI = upper limits of 95% Bootstrap confidence interval of indirect effect; relative mediation effect = the ratio of indirect effect and total effect; Comparison 1: the indirect effect of path 1 minus that of path 2; Comparison 2: the indirect effect of path1 minus that of path3; Comparison 3: the indirect effect of path 2 minus that of path3
