The study was conducted in order to standardise the smart-phone addiction scale on Indian population. The work was conducted on N = 258 undergraduate students to examine the psychometric properties i.e., reliability and validity of the scale for measuring smart-phone addiction among generation Z. Cronbach’s alpha of the scale was computed and was found to be 0.89 and the construct validity was obtained highly satisfying. Exploratory factor analysis was carried out and four (4) factors emerged in the analysis. In summing up, all factors explained 60.594% of the total variance which confirms the good construct validity. Further. Inter-factorial correlations among sub dimensions of smart-phone addiction were found highly significant. It can be concluded that the present work state good reliability and validity of smart-phone addiction scale. After required statistical analysis the scale is found to be highly standardised.
