“…Many smartphone users stated that they could not live without a smartphone (Observatory of Digital Uses, 2019, p. 9). One of the downsides of the prevalence of smartphones is smartphone addiction, especially among college students (Chen et al, 2019;Tayhan Kartal and Yanbanci Ayhan, 2020;Lin et al, 2016;Shahjehan et al, 2021;Yilmaz et al, 2023). Prior research has indicated that smartphone addiction can lead to negative impacts such as detrimental consequences in personal life, health, cognitive performance, and workplace performance (see for example, Charoensukmongkol, 2016;Chidambaram et al, 2022;Geng et al, 2021;Kayis et al, 2021;Chandrasekaran et al, 2019;Nongpong & Charoensukmongkol, 2016;Shahjehan et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2021).…”

This study uses theories of habit and self-control to explore the relationship between musical habits and smartphone addiction among college students. Our findings reveal that self-control mediates this relationship, with individual differences playing a significant role. While musical listening habits, impacted by personal genre preferences, positively impact self-control, active music engagement, through playing an instrument and/or creating music, negatively affects it. We suggest using interventions to promote mindful music engagement to mitigate smartphone addiction. These insights contribute to understanding how music habits influence digital behaviors and offer practical strategies for fostering healthier smartphone use among college populations.

The popularity and advancement of smartphones generate a new phenomenon of smartphone addiction. To promote early identification of individuals at risk of smartphone addiction, healthcare providers could assess if an individual has nomophobia (i.e., anxiety and worry of having no smartphone at hand). The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) across four countries: China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran. Via cross-sectional design and convenience sampling, 7871 participants (5969 Chinese, 534 Bangladeshi, 666 Pakistani, and 702 Iranian) completed the NMP-Q. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and network analysis were used to examine the psychometric properties of the NMP-Q across the four countries. CFA identified a four-factor structure (Tucker-Lewis index = 0.934, comparative fit index = 0.943, standardized root mean square residual = 0.037, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.079) for the NMP-Q, and the four-factor structure was measurement invariant across genders and countries. Network analysis results supported the CFA findings via visualized correlations among the NMP-Q items. The four-factor structure of the NMP-Q was consistently found in the four countries of China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran, indicating that the NMP-Q includes four specific domains. Measurement invariance suggests the NMP-Q may effectively assess nomophobia across genders and countries.
