Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to verify Mutiple mediating effect of intrusive rumination, and deliberate rumination in the relationship between covert narcissism and smartphone addiction in adolescents.
 Methods To this end, 457 people were collected by conducting online/offline surveys targeting youths across the country. The normality distribution of the research model was confirmed through kurtosis and skewness, and the relationship between variables was confirmed through correlation analysis. Mutiple mediating effects of intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination were analyzed using the parallel multimodal mediator model (model 4) of SPSS 18.0 and PROCESS macro for SPSS version 4.1
 Results First, It was found that covert narcissism had a significant effect on smartphone addiction. Second, In this study, as a result of verifying the multi-mediating effect of intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination, which are mediating variables, intrusive rumination was found to mediate the relationship between covert narcissism and smartphone addiction, but deliberate rumination did not mediate the relationship between covert narcissism and smartphone addiction in adolescents.
 Conclusions Based on this, we tried to provide basic data to prevent youth's smartphone addiction, establish countermeasures, and intervene.
