“…While it is not justifiable to rule out the relationship, the indication is that LNL may not be the only reason for people to get into SMA and there could be some positive aspects that lead an individual to SPA. For instance, Lee et al, (2017) conducted research using a sample size of 1300 students chosen randomly from China, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. The results indicated that it was self-expressive benefits and utilitarian benefits that led to the smartphone addiction and the relationship was mediated by the locus of control.…”

The purpose of this research is to identify the antecedents and outcomes of smartphone addiction among the youth in Kuwait, develop a model and empirically test it, so as to make suggestions to the governing bodies to minimize its adverse effects. A positivist paradigm has been used in this research, and accordingly, a quantitative approach with a survey sampling strategy has been adopted. The sample size chosen for the study is 236 youth between the age of 15 to 24 years in Kuwait based on convenience sampling. Among the six direct and seven indirect effects, three and two hypotheses were supported respectively. The key revelation of the research is that among loneliness, self-regulation, and self-efficacy it is only self-efficacy that has a positive and significant relationship with smartphone addiction. While smartphone addiction has no significant relationship with family conflict, it does have a positive and significant relationship with personal conflict. Also, personal conflict has a positive and significant influence on the family concept. The theoretical implication of the study is in the form of an empirically tested and validated model that relates to the variables of smartphone addiction and practical implications are in the form of suggestions for the consideration of The Ministry of Social Affairs in Kuwait so that the positive aspects associated with the extensive use of smartphone by the youth can be strengthened.

“…Previous studies focused on behavioral addiction and investigated the possible antecedents of the addiction. For example, a recent study suggested that locus of control and self-expressive and utilitarian benefits were antecedents of the smartphone addiction (Lee, Chang, Lin, & Cheng, 2017). However, Chen, Zhang, Gong, Zhao, Lee, and Liang (2017) found that perceived enjoyment, mood regulation, pastime, and conformity were antecedents of the smartphone addiction.…”

In order to achieve this aim, participants have been tested with an addiction test, and 25 university students who perceive themselves as social media addicts were selected for the study. The findings of the research showed that participants' reasons for using social media were lack of friends, social necessity of social media, feeling of fulfillment, fear of missing out, intertwining of social media and daily life. The study also pointed out that social media addiction has a beginning and a continuity phase. It has been shown that the individuals who were in the beginning phase tended to start using social media for reasons such as not being able to find friends, lack of socialization, and monotony of life. In the continuity stage of individual addiction, they stated that they use social media for reasons such as, fulfilling a duty, and protecting social relations that they had. One of the reasons for addiction was the need to socialize, while male participants were more interested in acquiring new friends, female participants were more interested in communicating with their real life friends.
