- Alternative Abstract
- The smartphone has many attractive attributes and characteristics that make it highly addictive, particularly in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of young adolescents in risk of smartphone addiction and the psychological factors associated with smartphone addiction. 490 middle-school students completed a selfquestionnaire measuring levels of smartphone addiction, behavioral and emotional problems, self-esteem, anxiety, and adolescent-parent communication. 128(26.61%) adolescents were in high risk of smartphone addiction. Adolescents in high risk of smartphone addiction showed significantly more severe levels of behavioral and emotional problems, lower selfesteem and poorer quality of communication with their parents. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the severity of smartphone addiction was associated with aggressive behavior(β=0.593, t=3.825) and self-esteem(β=-0.305, t=-2.258). Further exploratory and confirmatory studies should consider different sites, demographics, technological mobile devices, platforms, and applications.
