How loneliness mediates the link between excessive smartphone use or addiction.
By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc.Feb 27 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers explored how loneliness mediates the link between excessive smartphone use or addiction and self-reported well-being among students at Chinese universities.
Loneliness, which researchers define as the gap between actual and expected social interaction, can be exacerbated by smartphone addiction or excessive use. About the study In this study, researchers hypothesized that smartphone addiction would be negatively correlated with well-being levels in university students and that loneliness would be a mediating factor.
Well-being was measured using nine questions related to life satisfaction and overall emotional index, with a higher score indicating better well-being. The researchers found a significantly negative association between smartphone addiction and well-being. Conclusions This study built on previous work that primarily focused on specific addictive behaviors related to excessive use of smartphones, like gaming addiction.
