Full textAbstract:
Smartphone games are very popular and have the highest revenue of all smartphone application categories. Some even suggest that the the games can create an addiction. This addiction has however not been classified as a disorder and the components in the games that create an addiction have not been determined. This thesis had two goals. The first was to investigate and identify addictive components in smartphone games. The second goal was to use these components to develop an addictive proof of concept smartphone game prototype. The prototype was also to be evaluated regarding usability and how well it included the addictive components. The components in these games that create an addiction were identified using a literature study. After establishing a theoretical framework, eight different areas of addictive smartphone game components were found. These areas were further condensed into 16 guidelines of how to make a smartphone game addictive. The guidelines were used to create a prototype which later was evaluated with a supervised play test, a short interview, a usability questionnaire and a survey with questions regarding how well the guidelines were implemented. The usability of the game prototype was regarded as good and 13 of 14 implemented guidelines received positive results in the survey. In addition to this, all test users also regarded the game prototype as fun to play and wanted to play it again. Based on these results, the implemented smartphone game prototype was concluded to be addictive.

Full textAbstract:
The development of smartphones packed with applications has brought great convenience to, and improved the quality of, people’s daily lives, but it has also changed people’s behavior. People spend more and more time on mobile phones every day, leaving them distracted, affecting their sleep quality, and thereby giving rise to the concept of smartphone addiction. As a major group of smartphone users, college students have also experienced situations in which the use of mobile phones has decreased their learning efficiency as they try to escape from academic pressure. This article presents quantitative research on college students in Halmstad and aims to explore the connection between smartphone addiction and interaction anxiousness. Data was collected from a sample of 123 smartphone-using college students using an incidental sampling method; questionnaires provided a scale to rate smartphone addiction and interaction anxiousness. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 23 was used to analyse descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, independent-sample t-test, and regression and so on. According to the results, smartphone addiction is not common among college students. The overall status of college students’ interaction anxiousness is close to a moderate level. Levels of interaction anxiousness varied significantly depending upon gender, subject and grade. There is a significant positive correlation between smartphone addiction and interaction anxiousness. Interaction anxiousness has a certain predictive effect on smartphone addiction.

Full textAbstract:
Idag är smartphonen ett redskap och verktyg som vi använder oss av varje dag. Smartphones används till allt möjligt, allt ifrån att ringa samtal till att dela med oss av våra liv via sociala medier till att spela spel. Smartphonen är utan tvekan en viktig del av våra liv och kommer förmodligen inte bli mindre viktig med tiden. Nu har en skola gått ut och öppet sagt att de förbjuder smartphones under lektionstid. Med motiveringen att eleverna blir för stressade av sin smartphone. Detta är ett stort steg att ta och frågan är om det är rätt beslut. Syftet med denna studie är att utforska och beskriva vilka argument som ligger bakom att skolor väljer att förbjuda smartphones på lektionstid. För att göra det möjligt för oss att besvara syftet har vi använt oss av en deduktiv ansats och en kvalitativ datainsamling som består av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys på svensk dagspress och personintervjuer. Resultatet av denna studie visar att åsikterna kring mobilförbud skiljer sig både bland respondenterna men även i den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen. Lärare hanterar mobilförbud olika och åsikterna kring detta är delade. En slutsats som tas upp är att idag är det upp till lärarna själva att bestämma hur de vill göra i sitt klassrum, men att centrala riktlinjer behöver bestämmas. Nyckelord: Mobilförbud, Smartphone beroende, Skola, Smartphones i vardagen, Smartphones i skolan.Smartphones is a tool that we use everyday. Smartphones is being used for all kinds of different things, from making calls, to sharing our lives thru social media, to playing games. Smartphones is a without a doubt an important part of our lives and it´s not likely to become any less important. Now a school has openly released a statement that says they are prohibiting smartphones during classes. With the argument that the students becomes to stressed by their smartphone. This is a big step to take and the question is if it´s the right decision. The purpose of this study is to examine and describe what the underlying arguments are for the school to forbid smartphones during classes. To make it possible for us to achive the purpose of this study we have choosen to use an deductive approach and a qualitative method for gathering our data. An qualitaitve content analysis on swedish daily press and personal interviews are the methods that have been conducted. The result of this study shows that the views regarding smartphone ban is different both among the respondants, but also in the qualitative content analysis. Teachers handle smartphone ban different and the views regarding this are different. One conclusion which is brought up is that it´s up to the teachers themselfs to decide how they want to handle their classroom, but central guidelines will need to be decided. Keywords: Mobile phone prohibition, Smartphone addiction, School, Smartphones in everyday life, Smarthpones in school.

Full textAbstract:
The smartphone is omnipresent and is cherished and held close by people. It allows for constant connection within a digitally connected society, as well as for many other purposes such as leisure activity or informational purpose. Within the Information Systems studies deeper investigation is required as to what impact this “taken – for – granted” mobile access to information and mobile apps has for individuals and society and if a “technological addiction”can be developed when using the smartphone for everything during the day on such a constant basis. The aim of this study was to understand the role of the smartphone in society and to shed light on this unclear relationship between the constant use of a smartphone and its development towards an addictive quality. To reach a conclusion, in depth – interviews were conducted with participants about their relationship to the smartphone and their smartphone use based on questions derived from literature on mobile communication technologies and the types of digital addictions existing. The results are that the smartphone is a device that seamlessly integrates into our daily lives in that we unconsciously use it as a tool to make our daily tasks more manageable, and enjoyable. It also supports us in getting better organized, to be in constant touch with family and friends remotely, and to be more mobile which is a useful ability in today’s mobility driven society. Smartphones have been found to inhabit a relatively low potential to addiction. Traits of voluntary behaviour, habitual behaviour, and mandatory behaviour of smartphone use have been found. All of these behaviours are not considered a true addiction. In the end, it seems that the increase of smartphone use is mainly due to the way we communicate nowadays digitally,and the shift in how we relate to our social peers using digital means.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med studien var att få en inblick i hur omfattande smartphoneanvändning var bland människor och hur denna användning samvarierade med den mentala hälsan. En annan del av syftet var att se om ett beteendemönster kunde ändras hos smartphoneanvändarna och på så vis ändra den mentala hälsan. För att uppnå syftet ställdes två frågeställningar: (1) Finns det något samband mellan grad av smartphoneberoende och upplevd psykisk hälsa? (2) Kan en kortare tids intervention där man begränsar användandet av smartphone hos deltagarna påverka deras subjektiva psykiska välmående? Metod För att få en inblick i hur utbrett smartphoneberoendet är i dagsläget och om det påverkar den subjektiva psykiska hälsan valdes enkät som metod eftersom det var tidseffektivt och gav ett brett urval. För att kunna skapa en beteendeförändring så behövdes en aktiv interaktion med respondenterna, därför kom beslutet att utföra en intervention. Interventionen gick ut på att deltagarna under sex dagar skulle reducera sitt mobilanvändande i största mån möjligt för att se om deras mentala hälsa kunde påverkas. Urvalet bestod av 76 kvinnor och 56 män med en medelålder på 25 år. Resultat Enligt korrelationsanalysen fanns ett svagt samband r = - 0,218 mellan mental hälsa och smartphoneberoende som var statistiskt signifikant (p = 0.013). Analys av enkätdata visade en stor grupp som klassades som smartphoneberoende = 48.2% och 51.8% som ej smartphoneberoende. Detta visade att fler personer är mobilberoende i detta urval än vad andra studier hittat. Interventionen bortgick på grund av ett stort bortfall. Slutsats Resultatet visade på ett svagt negativt samband mellan mental hälsa och smartphoneberoende. Kausalitetssamband klargjordes inte och vidare forskning krävs på ämnet för att i framtiden kunna urskilja om en mental ohälsa leder till mer smartphoneanvändande eller om mycket smartphoneanvändning leder till mental ohälsa i sig.Abstract Purpose and objective The purpose of this study was to survey the use of mobile phones amongst people and how it coincides with mental health. We also wanted to investigate whether or not we could create a behavioral change amongst the mobile phone users and thereby see if it affected their mental health. To achieve this objective we emanated from two questions: (1) Is there a relationship between Smartphone addiction and subjective mental health? (2) Can a short intervention, where you decrease the time spent on smartphones amongst users improve their subjective well-being? Method To get an insight in how widespread the use of mobile phones is and if it affects subjective well-being we chose to collect data through surveys because it was time effective and gave a wide group of people. To be able to create a behavioral change we concluded we had to actively interact with the respondents, so we chose to perform an intervention. During the intervention the participants would reduce their mobile phone usage to the greatest extent possible to see if their mental health could be improved. Result According to the correlation analysis, there is a weak relationship r = - 0,218 between mental health and smartphone addiction which is statistically significant (p=0.013). Analysis of survey data showed a large group classified as smartphone addicted = 48.2% and 51.8% as non-smartphone addicted. This shows that more people are smartphone addicted in this study than other studies have found. The intervention failed due to many dropouts. Conclusions The result showed a weak negative correlation between mental health and smartphone addiction. Causal correlation was not clarified and further research is required on the subject in order to determine whether mental health issues leads to more smartphone usage or if a lot of smartphone usage leads to mental health issues by itself.

Smartphones har blivit en naturlig del av vår vardag och smarta applikationer ger oss ständigt nya möjligheter. Samtidigt som det finns många positiva sidor med tekniken är det av vikt att undersöka vilka konsekvenser den teknologiska utvecklingen kan få på människor samt vad orsakerna bakom detta är. Smartphones har ökat i tillgänglighet och vi kan bli beroende av dess funktioner, men även beroende av möjligheterna de ger oss. Denna studie undersökte samband mellan personlighetsdrag, symtom på psykisk ohälsa och smartphoneberoende bland studenter (n = 103). Smartphoneberoende mättes utifrån skalan SAS-SV. Ett webbformulär publicerades på studentplattformar med frågor om smartphoneberoende, personlighet och psykisk ohälsa. Ett positivt samband mellan depression, ångest, stress och smartphoneberoende hittades. Bland personlighetsdrag hade neuroticism ett positivt samband med smartphoneberoende samt extraversion och samvetsgrannhet hade ett negativt. Regressionanalys visade att neuroticism positivt och samvetsgrannhet negativt kunde predicera smartphonebeorende. Resultaten diskuteras utifrån tidigare litteratur och vi föreslår att mer longitudinell forskning behövs för att fastslå eventuell kausalitet.Smartphones have become a natural part of our everyday life and smart applications constantly give us new possibilities. While there are many positive aspects of the technology, it is important to examine what the consequences could be of the technological development. Smartphones have increased in availability and we have become addicted to the opportunities everyday technologies such as smartphones offer us. This study examined the relationships between personality traits, symptoms of mental illness and smartphone addiction among students (n = 103) using web-based assessments. Smartphone addiction was assessed with SAS-SV. We found positive associations between mental symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and smartphone addiction. Neuroticism had a positive relationship with smartphone addiction but other Big Five personality traits such as extraversion and conscientiousness showed negative association with smartphone addiction. Regression analysis showed that neuroticism positively, but conscientiousness negatively predicted smartphone addiction in our sample. We discussed our results according to the previous literature and suggest that further longitudinal research is needed to determine possible causality between the measured factors.

Full textAbstract:
With the development of computer hardware, computers with persuasion have become more powerful and influential than ever. The latest trends show that Persuasive Technology integrates with cutting-edge technologies, such as Natural Language Processing, Big Data, and Machine Learning algorithms. As persuasion is becoming increasingly intelligent and subtle, it is urgent to reflect on the dark sides of Persuasive Technology. The study aims to investigate one of Persuasive Technology's accusations, making smartphones more addictive to its users. The study uses questionnaires and in-depth interviews to examine the impact of persuasive technologies on young smartphone users. Questionnaires were distributed through a university forum, student group chats, and Tencent Survey Service. Ten interviewees were sampled randomly from the survey results. Eight interviewees shared their smartphone screen time for three consecutive weeks after the interview. Among the 183 participants, 84.70% (n=155) spend over (or equal to) four hours per day on their smartphone, 44.26% (n=81) indicate that smartphones negatively affect their studies or professional life. Ten interviewees evaluated that they could reduce screen time by 37% if they could avoid all persuasive functions. Five out of eight interviewees reduced their screen time by 16.72% three weeks after the interviews by voluntarily turning off some persuasive functions on their smartphones. This study provides empirical evidence to argue that persuasive technologies increase users' screen time and contribute to the addictive behaviours of young smartphone users. Some commonly used persuasive design principles could have negative long-term impacts on users. To sum up, the ethical problems that Human- computer interaction (HCI) designers face and users' neglected rights of acknowledgement were discussed.Med utvecklingen av datorhårdvara har datorer med övertalning blivit mer kraftfulla och inflytelserika än någonsin. De senaste trenderna visar att Persuasive Technology integreras med banbrytande teknik, såsom Natural Language Processing, Big Data och Machine Learning-algoritmer. Eftersom övertalning blir alltmer intelligent och subtil, är det angeläget att reflektera över de mörka sidorna av övertygande teknik. Studien syftar till att undersöka en av övertygande teknologins anklagelser, vilket gör smartphones mer beroendeframkallande för sina användare. Studien använder frågeformulär och djupintervjuer för att undersöka effekterna av övertygande teknik på unga smartphone-användare. Frågeformulär distribuerades via ett universitetsforum, studentgruppchattar och Tencent Survey Service. Tio intervjuade slumpmässigt urval från undersökningsresultaten. Åtta intervjuade delade sin skärmtid för smarttelefonen i tre veckor i rad efter intervjun. Bland de 183 deltagarna spenderade 84,70% (n = 155) mer än (eller lika med) fyra timmar per dag på sin smartphone, 44,26% (n = 81) indikerar att smartphones påverkar deras studier eller yrkesliv negativt. Tio intervjuade utvärderade att de kunde minska skärmtiden med 37% om de kunde undvika alla övertygande funktioner. Fem av åtta intervjuade minskade skärmtiden med 16,72% tre veckor efter intervjuerna genom att frivilligt stänga av några övertygande funktioner på sina smartphones. Denna studie ger empiriska bevis för att hävda att övertygande teknik ökar användarnas skärmtid och bidrar till beroendeframkallande beteende hos unga smartphone-användare. Några vanliga övertygande designprinciper kan ha negativa långsiktiga effekter på användarna. Sammanfattningsvis diskuterades de etiska problemen som HCI-designare (Human-computer-interaktion) möter och användarnas försummade bekräftelserätt.

Full textAbstract:
The increasingly ubiquitous role of smartphones in our everyday lives causes concerns regarding our relationship with the devices. While some raise the question whether smartphones are addictive (Alter 2017; Lopez-Fernandez 2019), others regard this concern as the most recent manifestation of moral panics (Cashmore, Cleland & Dixon 2018; Leick 2019). Meanwhile advocates of the attention economy argument claim that the problem is the design of technology occupying users’ attention (CHT 2019a-d). Somewhere in between, media and communication studies search for empirical evidence. From this vantage point of ideas this study explores the role of Screen Time, shaping and being shaped by this discourse. As a feature of Apple’s iOS software it is supposed to support users in regulating their smartphone use. Applying the walkthrough method as proposed by Light, Burgess & Duguay (2018) combined with an analysis of user experiences, shows how the technology company shapes a concept of self-regulation for users to adopt to. A concept, which first and foremost follows corporate and not the users’ best interest. This thesis poses the the question whether we are slaves to our screens, but arrives at the conclusion that we carry chains of self-regulation. The question remains, how we can create more sustainable and meaningful environments for protecting our attention.

Eller, Chase. "Can Problematic Cellphone Usage Be Considered Addictive Behavior?" Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1801.
Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to explore and discuss the points found in published research articles addressing cellphone usage and addiction. The articles vary in their emphasis, methods, and conclusions, but all focus in one way or another on how the advent of cellphone usage has caused addiction in many cellphone and smartphone users. Many of these studies involve looking at college students and teenagers to see how addiction and cellphone usage has affected younger generations. The articles at hand include studies from many different parts of the world. Some of the studies focus on which smartphone activities are the most addictive, while some of the articles focus on addiction as a whole and its impact on the users. Many of the works done on this subject focus on how addiction to these devices compares to a traditional substance abuse. While cellphones and smartphones have had many positive impacts, these improvements do not come without psychosocial hazards and addiction potential. Society places a premium on the ability to better communicate and utilize cellphone technology, but do they truly know what costs these benefits come with?

Full textAbstract:
Productivity loss occurs in organizations that experience high levels of personal Internet use by employees on company time, which includes employees using smartphones to surf without needing the firm's Internet connection. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore reliable ways for organizational leaders to monitor or limit their employees' use of smartphone technology for personal use (cyberloafing) while on the job to minimize wasted work time. Social cognitive theory, which includes an emphasis on human behavioral changes based upon the environment, people, and behavior, served as the conceptual framework. The general research question was as follows: How can managers minimize wasted work time by limiting the personal Internet activity of employees who use personal mobile devices while on the job. Data collection involved gathering information from interviews with 20 frontline supervisors, human resource managers, and information technology managers and specialists in 2 U.S. industries: education and telecommunications. Data analysis included examining word frequencies, keyword coding, and identifying themes. Four management themes emerged: create mobile device usage policy, enforce monitoring technology, create a deterrence strategy, and customize monitoring and tracking technology. This study may be important because the analysis revealed effective ways to prevent or minimize employees from Internet surfing and wasting time at work. The findings could lead to positive social change through increased employee productivity and responsibility by providing managers with information to control or limit cyberloafing activities and by fostering an increased commitment to comply with an organization's Internet use policy.

Això ha portat a preguntes i investigacions sobre com l’ús freqüent de la tecnologia influeix en la nostra salut social i psicològica. Aquest treball de tesi vol aportar informació sobre aquest tema a través de quatre estudis sobre tres de les TIC més populars - telèfons intel·ligents, xarxes socials en línia i Internet- i mitjançant la lent de tres preguntes d’investigació - 1) La addicció és el marc adequat per utilitzar a l’hora de investigar. ús problemàtic de les TIC?; 2) Quins són els efectes

En aquest moment, l’addicció no és un terme adequat per utilitzar-se en la investigació sobre problemes relacionats amb les TIC. En segon lloc, certs usos específics s’associen a conseqüències problemàtiques de l’ús de les TIC, mentre que altres usos no ho són, per tant no és prudent patologitzar totes les TIC. En tercer lloc, els usos associats a un ús problemàtic són diferents segons la cultura de l’usuari. En una cultura, un ús particular de les TIC pot ser problemàtic, mentre que en un altre país pot ser adaptatiu. En quart lloc, alguns aspectes de l’ús de les TIC semblen ser més o menys constants en cultures com ara els usos més populars dels telèfons intel·ligents i els factors subjacents de l’ús problemàtic de les TIC.Las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) como Internet y los teléfonos inteligentes entraron en nuestras vidas hace solo 20 años, pero en este corto periodo de tiempo han rediseñado profundamente la forma en que funcionan la sociedad y las personas en todo el mundo.

En segundo lugar, ciertos usos específicos están asociados con consecuencias problemáticas del uso de las TIC, mientras que otros usos no lo son, por lo tanto, no es prudente patologizar la totalidad de las TIC. En tercer lugar, los usos asociados con el uso problemático de las TIC son diferentes según la cultura del usuario. En una cultura, un uso particular de las TIC puede ser problemático, mientras que en otro país puede ser adaptativo. En cuarto lugar, ciertos aspectos del uso de las TIC parecen ser más o menos constantes en todas las culturas, como los usos más populares de los smartphones y los factores subyacentes del uso problemático de las TIC.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) such as the Internet and smartphones entered our lives only about 20 years ago, yet in that short time they have deeply rewired the way society and individuals all around the world function. This has led to questions and investigations regarding how the frequent use of technology influences our societal and psychological health. This thesis work aims to contribute some insight on this subject through four research papers about three of the most popular ICTs - smartphones, social media and the Internet and through the lens of three research questions - 1) Is addiction the correct framework to use when researching problematic ICT use?; 2) What are the effects of culture on problematic ICT use?; and 3) What specific uses are associated with ICT-related problems? The conclusions we arrive at are the following. At this time, addiction is not a suitable term to use in the research on ICT related problems. Secondly, certain specific uses are associated with problematic consequences of ICT use whereas other uses are not, therefore it is unwise to pathologize the entire ICT. Thirdly, the uses that are associated with problematic ICT use are different depending on the culture of the user. In one culture a particular ICT use can be problematic, whereas in another country it may be adaptive. Fourthly, certain aspects of ICT use appear to be more or less constant across cultures such as the most popular smartphone uses and the underlying factors of problematic ICT use.

Smartphone addiction has drawn more attention in recent years, the main reasons are relative to severely variable work environment nowadays and people reflect on the value of the work. This research aims to investigate factors of alleviating smartphone addiction and its relationship to Internet addiction. In addition, the reliability and validity of the smartphone addiction scale (SAS) were examined. In this study, we distributed questionnaires to 350 respondents across a range of occupations in middle Taiwan, including students, teachers and technology workers, and resulted in 306 valid survey questionnaires. The results showed that Worry Body significantly predicted Intention and affected behavior, whereas other structures predicted were not really significant. Results also showed that Worry Body and Subjective Norm were significantly related to Intention in regression analysis, and they were crucial attitudinal factors on smartphone addiction. Suggestions for further research are were discussed in this study.

The application of smartphone has attracted a lot of attention in the mobile communication era. The smartphone provides us the richness and convenient life. However the negative impact of smartphone using on health and spirit issues, such as smartphone addiction and mobile phone addiction, have been discussed in recent years. There are a lot of discussions for internet addiction or social network addiction in previous studies. However, there are a few researches on smartphone addiction. In this study, we based on the Self-efficacy theory model, extended by technostress, time flexibility and compulsive anxiety as our research model and try to figure out the facts influence smartphone addiction. Hypothesis testing was performed using SmartPLS on data collected with 268 smartphone users. The results show that smartphone addictions were affected by compulsive anxiety, technostress and smartphone self-efficacy. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

Nowadays, with the popularity of smartphones and due to the popularity of mobile Internet and the high coverage of WiFi hotspots, the number of smartphone users increased in the decade. Nevertheless, issues related to smartphone usage arose. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to explore the process and problems of smartphone dependence from different perspectives, such as social influences and self-behavior control. This study adopts the method of the questionnaire survey, and the target is 666 students from a university of science and technology in central Taiwan. This study uses the structural equation modeling analysis to evaluate the theoretical model and test research hypotheses. This study finds that usage behaviors are an important factor of smartphone addiction, and immersion is the most important factor of usage. Moreover, this study finds that the most serious problems caused by smartphones are anxious about the information security of smartphones. In terms of theoretical contribution, the theoretical model of this study can be used as references for future researches; in terms of practical contribution, the findings and conclusions can serve as a guide for relevant medical departments.

As smartphones grow ubiquitous, they have completely overturned the way people use the Internet, particularly the regular study habits and lifestyle of junior high school students. In the past, even though Internet addiction of students was a major concern for parents and educators, the influence of the Internet temporarily disappears when students are away from computers at home or Internet cafes. However, compact, portable, and Internet-connected smartphones are now a part of people’s everyday lives, pushing teenagers to grow even more attached to smartphones and more susceptible to addiction. This research summarized the factors of addiction through literature review, and then framed three major dimensions of research. usage behaviors, personality traits, and environmental factors. Junior high schools teachers were surveyed and the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approach was used to determine the influence and the causal relationship of the three dimensions of research. The research results illustrate that the personality trait of “low-conscientiousness” is a driving factor with the highest relation. “External pressure” and “parent-child interaction” are critical core criteria. Finally, “interpersonal interaction” has the most influence, but it must be combined with or controlled by other factors to generate such influence. The research results indicated that “parent-child interaction” and “external pressure” are significant factors of addiction, while “personality trait” may generate many indirect influences. On the other hand, “external pressure” is influential in smartphone addiction. Moreover, since “productive behavior” and “foundational behavior” have low interaction with other factors, they can be monitored separately to mitigate addiction. This research also made specific suggestions for educators and parents, aiming to help them learn more about smartphone addiction of junior high school students and possible mitigation approaches.

Nowadays, it is popular for everyone to have a smartphone. Multi-functional and convenient efficacy of the smartphone changes daily life for the people. It has also caused smartphone addiction. In this regard, many artists employ satire to their works in order to inform the public the seriousness of smartphone addiction. However, most of those works are graphic works. Some products are also created implying satire but those rarely related to smartphone addiction. Therefore, this article aims to propose product designs that satirize smartphone addiction. Firstly, literature reviews of the evolution of the mobile phones, definitions and approaches of satire, the negative effects of smartphone addiction, and the functions of phone holders are taken into account. Secondly, existing creations or products of satire and related effects of smartphone addiction are analyzed in order to summarize the design principles for satire. Some themes related negative effects of smartphone addiction are also defined. Following, product design guidelines are suggested and the mandala chart is employed in this step for idea creations. Five phone holders based on satire approaches on smartphone addiction are developed and resulted. In the article, applications of satirical objects derived from smartphone addiction are linked with modern product designs. The works urge the public to pay attention to the usages of smartphones. Through this experiment and implementation, the design creations explain diverse meaning and value.

Excessive use of smartphones has emerged as a substantive worldwide social issue when smartphone penetration has increased. The “smartphone addiction” is considered as one form of technological addictions. We here reviewed the evolution of substance and behavior addiction, examining the process of diagnosis for mental illness. In this thesis, we developed a self-reported questionnaire, proposed diagnostic criteria, and designed a mobile application (App) to identify smartphone addiction. The Smartphone Addiction Inventory is a 26-item self-reported questionnaire modified from the Chen Internet Addiction Scale. By exploratory factor analysis, smartphone addiction showed four components: tolerance, withdrawal, compulsive symptoms, and functional impairment, which are all variants on aspects of Internet addiction. Next, we proposed diagnostic criteria for psychiatrists’ interviews based on the criteria of broad spectrum Internet addiction and specific Internet gaming disorder. We applied the diagnostic accuracy of these diagnostic criteria using clinical global impression as a gold standard. Smartphone addiction was similar to broad spectrum Internet addiction rather than the specific Internet gaming disorder because smartphone use is characterized by the use of multiple Apps rather than a single App. This is the first study to use a mobile App to identify smartphone addiction with a novel Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) analysis. Our findings revealed that the participants with longer smartphone use tended to underestimate using duration. This underestimation explained the differences in the reliability and validity of excessive use and tolerance relative to the psychiatrists’ diagnostic interviews. The daily use count (Frequency) and the frequency trend (F-trend) measured by EMD analysis were associated with smartphone addiction, which was identified by psychiatrists. Moreover, we quantified the criterion “excessive use” by daily use duration and frequency, and quantified the criterion “tolerance” by the trend for the median duration of an epoch. We further aimed to incorporate App-recorded data into psychiatric criteria for the diagnosis of smartphone addiction, and examine the predictive ability of the App-recorded data for the diagnosis. The App-incorporated diagnosis demonstrated good accuracy for smartphone addiction diagnosis. Corresponding to two core symptoms (excessive use and increasing use), three App-generated parameters (the Duration, Frequency, and F-trend parameters) significantly predicted the diagnosis of smartphone addiction. The increasingly accessible and quantifiable App-generated parameters provide new insight into identifying smartphone addiction and facilitate large-scale cross-sectional and longitudinal studies because this approach is easier to implement than a self-reported questionnaire or diagnostic interviews.

This study aims to explore the correlation between grit, loneliness and smartphone addiction A total of 447 questionnaire survey documents were collected with a valid response rate of 89.4%. The data analysis procedures include Descriptive Statistics, One-way ANOVA, Pearson’s Correlations and Regression Analysis. The results of this study indicated that girt was negatively predictive of loneliness and loneliness smartphone addiction was highly-positive correlation. Loneliness also plays partial mediation effect between grit and smartphone addiction. Background variables were also examined with investigated constructs in this study. On smartphone addiction, female reported higher addiction level than that of male. Undergraduates showed the highest usage time with more than 6 hours; the longer smartphone usage time per day, the higher smartphone addiction shows. On grit, male reported higher level than that of female. Management-level people have higher grit than non-management level ones. On loneliness, people aged from 46 to 50 and undergrdautes have the highest level of loneliness. Non-management level people is lonelier than management-level ones. Increasing grit and decreasing loneliness can effectively decrease the smartphone addiction. Grit is the protective factor and loneliness is the dangerous factor.

This study aims to explore the elements related to the smart phone addiction of the university students in Chiayi County and City. The data are analysed with the theory of reasoned action (TRA) proposed by Fishbein and the self-efficacy theory by Bandura. The research subjects are the university students enrolled in the school year 2014 from both the national and private universities in Chiayi County and City. This research adopts the stratified and cluster samplings, and obtains 431 valid samples. The first stage is to distribute the open-ended elicitation questionnaires. The second stage is to design a structured questionnaire based on the salient beliefs obtained from the open-ended elicitation questionnaires. Results are described as follows: 1.Subjects’ behavioural beliefs, outcome evaluation, and normative beliefs of the important others to use smart phones have significant differences depending on the extraneous variables; but there are no significant differences in subjects’ motivations to comply with the normative beliefs depending on the extraneous variables. 2.Subjects’ smart phone addiction has a significant difference depending on the extraneous variables, especially in year of college, self-perceived mental health, and time of using smart phone every day. 3.The multiplication outcome of subjects’ behavioural beliefs and outcome evaluation in using smart phone has a significant positive relation to the attitude of using smart phone; the multiplication outcome of the important others’ normative beliefs and subjects’ compliance motivations has a significant positive relation to the subjective norm of using smart phone. 4.The lower subjects’ self-efficacy in addiction cessation, the higher the tendency to the smart phone addiction. The more positive in attitude of using smart phone and in the important others’ normative beliefs to use smart phone, the higher the tendency to the smart phone addiction. 5.To predict a smart phone addiction from the extraneous variables “year of college,” “self-perceived mental health,” and “time of using smart phone everyday,” the total variance explained is 14.2%. When the important variables of TRA “attitude” and “subjective norm” are included, the total variance explained increases 5.4% to 19.6%. When the variable of self-efficacy in addiction cessation is included, the total variance explained increases 9.5% to 29.1%. 6.A smart phone addiction is able to be effectively predicted from subjects’ extraneous variables “year of college,” “self-perceived mental health,” and “time of using smart phone every day,” attitude in using smart phone, the important others’ normative beliefs in using smart phone, and self-efficacy in addiction cessation.

In recent years, the smartphone has become an essential part of our life, but caused problems of relationshop. For example, many young people are so afraid to miss any messages of friends that they often pick up smartphones to surf the internet during free time. This reduces the time of face to face communication between people and the intimate relationship with family. There are many college students using smartphones to play game or to use social network which influences attention in class learning. Some students use smartphones to mitigate anxiety. The smartphone has already made negative impact to college students. This study is to explore the associations between smartphone addictive behaviors and anxiety of college students. We collected 750 questionnaires using convenience sampling method from college students. Our study analysed the relevance between six smartphone addictive behaviors and anxious level, and studied the relatioships between demographics, living conditions, and experience and smartphone addictive behaviors (salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, conflict, and relapse). C5.0 decision trees, clustering (K-means), and association rules (Aprior) algorithms are used. The results show that anxious level is associated with mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and conflict. The important factors causing salience are gender, surfing the social network, and length of owning smartphone. Factors causing mood modification are the telephone function, anxious level, and length of owning smartphone. Factors for tolerance are personality, length of being organizers, entertainment expense, and anxious level. Factors to withdrawal symptoms are gender, surfing the social network, anxious level, entertainment expense. Factors to conflict are living expense, live place, length of owning smartphone.Factors causing relapse are interpersonal relationship, length of owning smartphone. We suggest that college students should pay attention to these factors to avoid smartphone addictive behaviors.

Användningen av informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) ökar kraftigt och påverkar både samhället och människan. Smartphonen är en del av denna teknik och har påverkat människan samt samhället i ännu större utsträckning på grund av sin portabilitet. Denna påverkan är viktig att belysa då den innebär nya utmaningar som måste hanteras för att kunna bibehålla ett hållbart samhälle. Denna studie har undersökt hur smartphones påverkar människor i deras vardagliga liv med en djupare inblick i de sociala sammanhangen. Teorier inom IKT, smartphoneanvändning, samt beroende har legat till grund för det teoretiska ramverket medan observationer samt en enkätundersökning har legat till grund för empirin. Fokus har legat på unga vuxna och datan som samlats in har analyserats kvalitativt och sedan diskuterats utifrån teorin. Undersökningen visade på ett tydligt mönster gällande negativ inverkan på sociala konversationer. Det framgick tydligt att mycket fokus tillägnades smartphonen istället för konversationen i sig. Förutom en identifikation kring att de sociala sammanhangen påverkades negativt så gick det även att påvisa andra faktorer som påverkades. Det är tydligt att lagar har brutits, sömn påverkats och att individer har blivit överväldigade av information på grund av smartphonen. Sammanfattningsvis så är det viktigt att lyfta fram den psykiska påverkan som studien påvisar att smartphones haft på människor, så att medvetenheten gällande detta kan öka.The use of information and communication technology (ICT) is evolving in a fast pace and effects both society and humans.
