“…No gender difference was identified regarding PSU in this study, which is in accordance with preliminary evidence [16, 26, 44]. Yet, some studies reported that females are more addicted than males to their mobile phone.…”

“…Previous research consistently reported associations between psychopathological symptoms such as anxiety and depression and various addictive and excessive behaviors, including alcohol abuse [38], smoking [39], and Internet-related disorders [40, 41]. Several studies also highlighted that depression and anxiety symptoms were similarly associated with problematic mobile phone use [5, 42–44], leading scholars to hypothesize that smartphone use can serve to relieve negative effect in depression- or anxiety-prone individuals and thus produce addictive patterns of use [42, 45]. In the present study, we expected that both depression and anxiety would be positively associated with PSU.…”

BackgroundSmartphones are becoming a daily necessity for most undergraduates in Mainland China. Because the present scenario of problematic smartphone use (PSU) is largely unexplored, in the current study we aimed to estimate the prevalence of PSU and to screen suitable predictors for PSU among Chinese undergraduates in the framework of the stress-coping theory.MethodsA sample of 1062 undergraduate smartphone users was recruited by means of the stratified cluster random sampling strategy between April and May 2015. The Problematic Cellular Phone Use Questionnaire was used to identify PSU. We evaluated five candidate risk factors for PSU by using logistic regression analysis while controlling for demographic characteristics and specific features of smartphone use.ResultsThe prevalence of PSU among Chinese undergraduates was estimated to be 21.3%. The risk factors for PSU were majoring in the humanities, high monthly income from the family (≥1500 RMB), serious emotional symptoms, high perceived stress, and perfectionism-related factors (high doubts about actions, high parental expectations).ConclusionsPSU among undergraduates appears to be ubiquitous and thus constitutes a public health issue in Mainland China. Although further longitudinal studies are required to test whether PSU is a transient phenomenon or a chronic and progressive condition, our study successfully identified socio-demographic and psychological risk factors for PSU. These results, obtained from a random and thus representative sample of undergraduates, opens up new avenues in terms of prevention and regulation policies.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12888-016-1083-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Procrastination was regarded as a evasive behavior that person put off the planned tasks, though, the detrimental results could be expected by us [33], few authors study the link between mobile phone addiction and procrastination, nevertheless, mobile phone addiction also involved elusive problems [25], so we anticipated the mobile phone addiction as the predictor of procrastination, because of, person who focused more attention on smartphone had poor sleep quality and got out of control of their emotion, which resulted in people spending less time on other things, especially the failure academic achievement, the correlation analysis supported our prior assumption-hypotheses 1, it was prominently positive relationship between mobile phone addiction and procrastination, which was consistent with previous findings [34][35][36][37]. This finding also supplemented the previous theories and crevices of the link between mobile phone addiction and procrastination.…”

As technologies advances, mobile phones, especially smartphones become increasingly dispensable for young adults, it is particularly prevalent among universities students. But the tools negatively affect the users' physical and mental health who spend more time on it, such as interpersonal communication problems poor sleep quality, and academic failure. The recent papers pointed out that a prominent association among mobile phone addiction, future time perspective, procrastination each other, but few authors investigated the underlying mechanism of above three variables. The study aimed to estimate the mediating role of future time perspective whether the mediator explored the relation of mobile phone addiction on delaying. At the same time, this paper tried to test the moderate effect of gender according to previous study.600 students from medical college in Weifang located in Shandong Province completed multiple scales, namely Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS). Future, Time Perspective Scale (FTPS), Arouse Procrastination Scale and Avoidant Procrastination Scale, respectively. The results follows were: (1) future time perspective partially mediated the relationship between mobile phone addiction and procrastination. The proportions of explanation for indirect effects were 20.32% and 24.70%, respectively. (2) Gender played a moderated role in the influence of independent variable on dependent variables. The regulated mediator model was fit and receivable, the mediated model is more suited to male, the addictive behavior profoundly related with procrastination in male groups than that of in female groups. Future directions for the investigation of the moderated mediation model in medical college students in Weifang and the limitations of the present study were discussed.

“…Unlike prior studies, which assumed smartphone use to be positive for users [2,11], other research efforts have begun to focus on the unintended negative consequences or dark side of smartphones. Researchers have highlighted these unintended negative consequences [12][13][14]; researched ways to measure their impact on individuals' mental health [10,[15][16][17]; on leisure [18]; on academic performance [19]; and explored their antecedents [20][21][22]. Yet, while recent research offers clear and comprehensive explanations of how smartphone addiction develops [23,24] and leads to negative consequences [8][9][10], it remains unclear how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) smartphone addiction, in turn, relates to well-being.…”

The advent of handheld devices such as smartphones has changed the way we connect, navigate, and entertain and has been recognized as a revolution in information and communication technologies (ICT). Despite the plethora of benefits of this new technology, concerns have been raised about the unintended adverse consequences to well-being in the form of addictive use. Past research has linked smartphone addiction to negative consequences, but it remains unclear how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) smartphone addiction, in turn, is related to well-being. This study attempts to fill this void by addressing these questions through the lens of the stimulus-organism-response framework. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
