There were 302 college freshmen participated the oneyear followup study. The China College Students Adjustment Scale (CCSAS) and the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale were used in this research. The results indicated that (1) During the oneyear followup study, college freshmens level of mobile phone dependence decreased, but the difference was not significant. And the status of social adaptation tended to be stable; (2) There were significant relationships among pretest and posttest mobile phone dependence and social adaptation, which meant that the higher mobile phone dependence, the lower tendency of social adaptation; (3) Crosslagged regression analysis indicated that mobile phone dependence caused college freshmens social adaptation. Further regression analysis showed the dimensions of salience and social comfort have significant negative prediction on college freshmens social adaptation, and the prediction of mobile phone dependence on social adaptation are simultaneous. The results showed that mobile phone dependence was a risk factor for reporting social adaptation for the college freshmen.
