“…Hence, the findings of Praveeni & Wickramasinghe (2020) have supported the similar findings of smartphone addiction among the students and its negative influence on students' academic performance as identified in this study. Besides, the study of Praveeni & Wickramasinghe (2020) has also supported the mediation effect of excessive mobile phone use on the relationship between mobile addiction and negative academic behavior as identified in this study. Overall, this study suggests that the students should reduce the intense use of Smartphones in order to perform well in their academic activities.…”

“…Overall, the result showed that the level of mobile addiction was identified at moderate level which is similar to the findings of Karpinski, 2014 andAcun, 2020. The findings of more than 40% of the respondents who experienced excessive mobile phone use and more than 16% who demonstrated negative academic behavior are identical to the studies of Acun, 2020 andPraveeni andWickramasinghe (2020).…”

Since there is little research on the mediative effect of excessive mobile phone use on mobile addiction and academic behavior among university students, hence, the current study sought to study the relationship between these three variables. Data was collected from 435 university students through an online Google form survey sent through a WhatsApp link. Overall, the result shows that that level of mobile addiction was moderate. More than 40% of the respondents had experienced the impact of excessive use of mobile phone while more than 16% experienced negative academic behaviour. Besides, structural equation model fit and measurement models were used to analyze the data with a two-stage structural equation modelling. The first stage involved the assessment of measurement model or also known as Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) for negative academic behavior, excessive mobile phone use and mobile addiction. The measurement model achieved a good fitness index where, RMSEA = 0.064, NFI = 0.9, CFI = 0.932, TLI = 0.921, and Relative Chi-square (Chisq/df) = 2.855. In the second stage of assessment of the structural equation model, the study confirmed that excessive mobile phone use mediates the relationship between mobile addiction and negative academic behavior among students in higher education in Malaysia. The novelty of this study lies in the exploratory analysis of these three variables with a systematic method to find a conclusive result. In summary the findings imply that higher education institutions need to have better guidelines to regulate mobile phone use among students in higher learning institutes.

“…Multitasking has been accepted as functionally equivalent to distraction (Zwarun and Hall 2014). In studies conducted with undergraduate students, it has been observed that students spend less time on academic activities when they are highly dependent on smartphones (Praveeni and Wickramasinghe 2020), and screen addiction is associated with media multitasking in the US and Taiwan sample (Lin et al 2020). Research provides evidence that mobile media use distracts attention with consequences for safety, productivity, and learning.…”

The aim of this study is to adapt the Smartphone Distraction Scale to Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. The participants of the study consisted of a community sample of 399 people, 288 (72.2%) women and 111 (27.8%) men, aged between 18-60 (27.14±10.89). In data collection, Sociodemographic Form (SF), Smartphone Distraction Scale-Turkish Version (SDS), Bergen Social Media Scale (BSMS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Current Symptoms Scale (CSS), and Perceived Multitasking Scale (PMS) were used. The data were analyzed through Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient, Pearson product-moment correlation test, item-total score correlation coefficients, confirmatory factor analysis to estimate the construct validity of the scale. Considering the internal consistency reliability of the scale, the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was found to be .88 for attention/impulsivity, .80 for alertness, .76 for multitasking, and .76 for emotion regulation. The item and total score correlation coefficients of the scale items were found to be between 0.49 and 0.76. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the 16-item and four-factor structure of the scale. The correlation of SDS with BSMAS, ERQ, CSS, and PMS was found to be statistically significant. The results of the research show that the SDS adapted to Turkish culture is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in academic studies and clinical settings.
