“…The smartphone usage type scale used in the study by Jeong et al 14 was used after being modified to reflect the characteristics of the subjects and supplemented with more types. Whereas the existing study divided smartphone usage types into 1) study, 2) entertainment (music/videos), 3) SNS (focused on conversation and social interaction), and 4) games, in this research we added the following three types based on preceding studies 12 17 : voice calls and text messages, which are the most basic functions of the smartphone; information search; and other (shopping, schedule management, alarms, public transportation use, etc.). In the case of SNS, some platforms such as YouTube and Facebook include the use of music and video content, such as the use of social media for conversation and social interaction, as in the existing study.…”

Background The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between smartphone addiction of middle school students and smartphone usage types, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), stress, interpersonal problems, and parenting attitude. In particular, we wanted to find out how smartphone usage types predict smartphone addiction when controlling depression, ADHD, perceived stress, interpersonal problems, and parenting attitudes, which are the main predictors of existing smartphone addiction in this study. Methods The subjects of this study included 487 local middle school students (253 girls and 234 boys). The measurement instruments used were the smartphone addiction scale, patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Korean ADHD rating scales (K-ARS), perceived stress scale (PSS), Short form of the Korean-inventory of interpersonal problems circumplex scales (KIIP-SC), and the parenting attitude scale. We identified the relationships between the variables with correlation analysis and examined the predictors of smartphone addiction with hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Result The factors that influence smartphone addiction were sex (β = 3.14, P < 0.01), stress (β = 2.99, P < 0.01), and interpersonal problems (β = 3.81, P < 0.001). In addition, when the confounding variables of smartphone addiction were controlled to examine the effects of smartphone usage types on smartphone addiction, social network service (SNS) (β = 2.66, P < 0.01) and music/videos (β = 2.73, P < 0.01) were found to significantly positively affect smartphone addiction, whereas study (β = −2.54, P < 0.05) had a significantly negatively effect. And these factors explained 29.5% of the variance in smartphone addiction. Conclusion The order of the usage types with the highest influence on smartphone addiction was: enjoying music/videos, SNS, and study. This suggests that selective intervention depending on the main smartphone usage type can be effective.

“…Findings from correlational studies showed a positive association between excessive smartphone use and loneliness. 10,[31][32][33] Although the only longitudinal study thus far found no evidence for an increase of loneliness, 34 the author argued that excessive use leads users to put less effort to build meaningful relationships, which might ultimately increase loneliness. 34 Moreover, a recent longitudinal study found that heavy Facebook use resulted in higher loneliness, while low to moderate levels of Facebook use even decreased loneliness.…”

“…For example, a recent longitudinal study showed that heavy communicative Facebook use increased loneliness. 31 Therefore, future research on the different types of excessive smartphone use (i.e., communicative vs. noncommunicative) could shed further light on the relations between excessive use, online self-disclosure, loneliness, and stress. In addition, it also seems relevant to differentiate between public disclosure, which is visible to a large group of individuals (e.g., on SNSs) and private disclosure (e.g., calling, private messages), which is typically targeted at selected individuals.…”

The present study investigates how excessive smartphone use predicts users' stress and loneliness while taking the moderating role of online self-disclosure into account. We conducted a two-wave panel survey with a quota sample of smartphone users (n = 461 at time 2 [T2]). We found no direct effects of excessive smartphone use on stress or loneliness. However, our results showed that online self-disclosure moderates the postulated relationships. That is, excessive smartphone use (time 1 [T1]) predicts increased stress (T2), for those smartphone users who do engage in little online self-disclosure. However, for those who communicate their feelings, anxieties, and problems online, excessive smartphone use (T1) can even reduce loneliness (T2) and relieve stress (T2).

“…Younger age, male gender, early exposure to the internet, frequency of use, and availability of time have been found to be statistically related to IA (Kawabe et al, 2016;Lam et al, 2009). Moreover, certain psychological attributes such as lower self-esteem, shyness, and loneliness are moderately to strongly associated with addictive SNS use (Bian & Leung, 2015;Mahapatra, 2019;Milošević-Đorđević & Žeželj, 2014).…”

This article serves as an overview and introduction to the discipline of cyberpsychology. Research and scholarship on the interaction of technology and human behavior through the lens of psychology has exploded, and relatedly the field of cyberpsychology. The internet has transformed social interactions, communication patterns, and even our identities. Research literature and presentations in the area of cyberpsychology have primarily attended to personality variables, perceptual processes, emotional functioning, and behavioral responses. Five major areas identified in the literature as especially relevant to the field are examined, including online behavior and personality; social media use and psychological functioning; games and gaming; telepsychology; and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and applications. In addition, future directions in cyberpsychology as it relates to ethics, clinical work, age and disability, education and training, and research are discussed. As the field of cyberpsychology is relatively in its infancy, psychologists are well positioned to inform this innovative discipline through interdisciplinary collaborations.
