Big five personality traits (neuroticism, openness, extroversion), mobile phones use motivation was significantly positively related to mobile phone dependence.Big five personality traits (neuroticism and conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness, extroversion) was significantly positively related to mobile phone use motivation.(9) The cross-lagged regression analyses of the tracking data revealed that if the mental health in pretest can be controled, then the big five personality traits (Neuroticism) in pretest can forcast the mental healt in posttest, but mental healt in pretest did not have consequent forcast on the big five personality traits (Neuroticism) in posttest.if the mobile phone dependence in pretest can be controled, then the big five personality traits (Neuroticism) in pretest can near forcast the mobile phone dependence in posttest, but the mobile phone dependence in pretest did not have consequent forcast on the big five personality traits (Neuroticism) in posttest.if the mobile phone use motivation in pretest can be controled, then the big five personality traits (Neuroticism) in pretest can near forcast the mobile phone use motivation in posttest, but the mobile phone use motivation in pretest did not have consequent forcast on the big five personality traits (Neuroticism) in posttest.if the mobile phone use motivation in pretest can be controled, in posttest.if the mobile phone use motivation in pretest can be controled, then the big five personality traits (Conscientiousness)、Agreeableness、Openness、Extraversion) in pretest can forcast the mobile phone use motivation in posttest, but the mobile phone use motivation in pretest did not have consequent forcast on the big five personality traits (Conscientiousness)、Agreeableness、Openness、Extraversion) in posttest.if the mobile phone use motivation in pretest can be controled,then the mobile phone dependence in pretest can near forcast the mobile phone use motivation in posttest, but the mobile phone use motivation in pretest did not have consequent forcast on the mobile phone dependence.
