“…Smartphones enhance productivity by offering a wide array of applications and tools that streamline daily tasks. According to the PEW Research Center, "67% of smart phone users have admitted to check their phone for calls or messages when their phone did not vibrate or ring" (Kodi et al, 2021). After the onset of covid-19 pandemic, learning virtually grows drastically causing a unique growth of e-learning and remote digital platform-based education (Gaol & Prasolova-Førland, 2023).…”

The rapid increase of cellphone usage among the youth has raised worries about possible impacts on both mental and physical well-being. Thus, the current examines the association of dependency on mobile dependence and physical activity (PA) levels among school students. The study employed a cross-sectional research design, gathering data through surveys from 330 samples studying in 11 th and 12 th standards in public schools. The PA level was examined by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)-short version and the level of dependency on smartphones was analyzed by the Test for Mobile Phone Dependence (TMD) questionnaire. The results categorized the participants based on their observed PA levels, with percentages for low (28.19%), moderate (42.73%), and high (29.10%) PA. The results also indicated an association between PA levels and dependency of mobile, with high PA students demonstrating low dependency, moderate PA students displaying medium dependency, and low PA students exhibiting high dependency. In conclusion, mobile dependency alters the engagement in PA, as individuals increasingly prioritize screen time over active pursuits.

“…Previous studies have suggested that affective empathy may serve as a risk factor for depression, meaning that adolescents with higher levels of affective empathy are more vulnerable to negative feelings (e.g., loneliness) and emotional symptoms of depression ( 53 ). Given that adolescents may use mobile phones to escape their unpleasant feelings and manage their mood ( 49 ), it is understandable that some adolescents with higher levels of affective empathy may perceive more negative feelings and be more likely to suffer from PSU, which may affect their ability to focus on their academic work ( 54 ). Meanwhile, affective empathy may serve as a protective factor that reduces physical aggression in adolescents ( 55 ), suggesting that adolescents with higher affective empathy may engage in less physically aggressive behavior.…”

BackgroundExisting literature on the relationship between problematic smartphone use (PSU) and aggression has primarily focused on examining their unidirectional association, with limited attention paid to the bidirectional nature of this relationship, particularly when considering the role of empathy. This study employs a novel moderated network approach to examine the bidirectional relationship between problematic smartphone use and aggression, while also investigating the moderating mechanism of empathy.MethodsA total of 2,469 students (49.1% female, Meanage = 13.83, SDage = 1.48) from 35 junior and senior high schools in Harbin, China, participated in this study. Empathy level, aggressiveness, and PSU symptoms were assessed using the Basic Empathy Scale, the Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire, and the Mobile Phone Addiction Index.ResultsAnalysis revealed that the relationship between PSU and aggression was complex and bidirectional. The strongest association was observed between “hostility” and “withdrawal/escape”. In addition, “anger” had the highest Expected Influence (EI) in both affective and cognitive moderate network models. An important discovery was also made regarding the conditional effect of “productive loss” and “physical aggression” across different levels of affective empathy. Specifically, at lower levels of affective empathy, a positive bidirectional relationship was found between “productive loss” and “physical aggression”. However, this relationship turned negative and bidirectional at higher levels of affective empathy.ConclusionThe findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics between PSU and aggression and highlight the need for targeted interventions that promote affective empathy to mitigate the negative consequences of excessive smartphone use.

“…This study concluded that mobile overuse changes adolescent's behavior along with decrease of their educational achievement due to the more use of the smartphone. 1 In the past few years, the term "addiction" has been expanded beyond substance dependence to include nonsubstance-related behaviours that cause problems and impairment. Proposed "process" or "behavioural" addictions have included such varied themes as shopping; exercise; gaming; and forms of web-enabled behaviour such as internet games, interact through social platform, and numerous types of sexual behaviour.…”
