“…For example, US adults spend on average more than 11 hours per day on electronic media, including SNS [41]. In addition, existing research has shown that there can be negative consequences associated with excessive IT use and IT addiction that may affect individuals' key personal, social, and professional lives [25,44]. As a case in point, recent surveys show that American college students spend about one-fifth of their time in class on digital devices toward "non-class purposes" including use of SNSs [29,30].…”

“…Estes resultados são ligeiramente inferiores aos descritos na literatura, que apontam para que, entre jovens adultos, a dependência do smartphone esteja presente em 15.38% destes (Lapointe, Boudreau-Pinsonneault, & Vaghefi, 2013). Ainda que a reduzida dimensão da amostra estudada nos leve a considerar estes resultados com reservas, consideramos que estes vêm sublinhar a importância da realização de rastreios no domínio do uso problemático e da adição de smartphones na população adulta portuguesa, ponto de partida, por um lado, para a sensibilização e psicoeducação da população relativamente a usos potencialmente disfuncionais, e, por outro, para o encaminhamento para intervenção psicológica.…”

ResumoA globalização da informação em múltiplos domínios da vida dos indivíduos congrega vantagens e riscos. O presente estudo propôs-se avaliar a existência de padrões de uso do smartphone potencialmente disfuncionais junto de uma amostra de conveniência constituída por 164 participantes adultos. Os participantes responderam a: versão portuguesa do Smartphone Addiction Inventory; questionário sociodemográfico; questionário de sintomas clínicos sugestivos de uso problemático/dependência de smartphones. Ainda que a maioria dos participantes (90.9%) não apresente sintomas de perturbação associada ao uso de smartphones, 6.7% apresenta sintomas moderados e 2.4% sintomas graves. Os resultados sugerem a importância da realização de rastreios neste domínio. Palavras-chave: adição; smartphone; compulsão; tolerância; abstinência. AbstractThe globalization of information in multiple domains of individuals' lives is associated to advantages, but also to risks. The present study aimed to evaluate the existence of potentially dysfunctional smartphone use patterns in a convenience sample of 164 adults. Participants answered to: Portuguese version of the Smartphone Addiction Inventory; Sociodemographic questionnaire; Questionnaire of clinical symptoms suggestive of problematic use/dependence on smartphones. Although majority of participants (90.9%) showed no symptoms of disturbance associated with the use of smartphones, 6.7% presented moderate symptoms and 2.4% severe symptoms. These results underline the importance of screening in this domain. Keywords:addiction, smartphone; compulsion, withdrawal, tolerance Na era das tecnologias da comunicação e da informação (TCI) assistimos à reconfiguração, nos últimos 15 anos, de estilos de vida, formas de relacionamento, meios de trabalho, acesso ao conhecimento, entre muitas outras vertentes cruciais da existência humana. A informação, particularmente aquela que se sustenta das e nas novas tecnologias assumiu um papel indispensável na vida quotidiana, (Salehan, & Negahban, 2013) Paralelamente, a exuberância da vida contemporânea tem visto surgir vários comportamentos, para além dos associados tradicionalmente à ingestão de substâncias psicoativas, que produzem uma resposta de recompensa cerebral a curto prazo, que podem gerar comportamentos repetidos e persistentes apesar do conhecimento das suas consequências adversas, e que apresentam como expressão regular o controle diminuído sobre o comportamento por parte do indivíduo. Dadas as suas características específicas estas condições foram abordadas historicamente sob diferentes perspetivas, que vão desde a sua consideração no espectro impulsivo-compulsivo, à sua inserção no grupo das perturbações de controle dos impulsos e, mais recentemente, à sua inclusão na categoria das adições sem substâncias (Grant, Potenza, Weinstein, & Gorelick, 2010).Esta evolução espelha-se nas reflexões suscitadas pelas classificações internacionais, que no caso explicito da DSM-5, cria uma categoria para a adição ao jogo (retirando-a do grupo das perturbaç...
