Abstract Although some studies showed that the positive association between peer victimization and adolescent Internet gaming disorder，little is known about the mediating mechanism and moderating mechanism underlying this relation. This paper examines whether psychological needs satisfaction mediates the relationship between peer victimization and adolescent Internet gaming disorder， and whether this mediating effect is moderated by emotional intelligence. A sample of 1389 junior high school students anonymously completes the questionnaires. The results showed that： (1) Peer victimization was significantly positively correlated with Internet gaming disorder； (2) After controlling for gender， age， father’s and mother’s educational level， and each person income of family per mouth， the positive association between peer victimization and Internet gaming disorder is mediated by psychological needs satisfaction. Moreover， this indirect link is stronger for adolescents with high emotional intelligence than for those with low emotional intelligence.
