“…The influence of age on smartphone use patterns is in line with the findings of Wang, Hsieh, and Kung (2023), who highlight the growing reliance on smartphones for educational purposes among young individuals. Additionally, the gender-based differences in smartphone use align with the study conducted by Gerosa, Gui, and Büchi (2021), demonstrating that technology use behaviours may be influenced by socio-cultural and societal factors beyond individual psychological aspects.…”

The widespread adoption of smartphones has transformed communication and information access, particularly among Nigerian youths. As Africa’s most populous nation and rapidly digitizing economy, Nigeria offers a unique backdrop to investigate the complex interplay between smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being, and socio-cultural factors among its youth population. This study employed a cross-sectional survey research design to explore these intricate relationships comprehensively. The methodological approach involved a quantitative research framework using a tailored measurement scale developed to gather relevant data, encompassing demographic details, smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being indicators, and socio-cultural factors. This study focused on Nigerian youth aged 18 to 30 years, employing a snowball sampling technique to disseminate the research instrument through WhatsApp and Telegram platforms. A total of 1241 participants from different regions of the country were included in the study. The results showed significant variations in smartphone use patterns among Nigerian youth based on age groups, gender, and socioeconomic background. The results revealed significant variations in smartphone use patterns based on demographic characteristics, including age, sex, and socioeconomic background. Furthermore, smartphone use patterns exhibited significant correlations with various aspects of socio-psychological well-being, such as emotional well-being, stress levels, sleep quality, and life satisfaction. Sociocultural factors did not significantly predict smartphone use patterns; family dynamics and peer interactions emerged as significant indirect influencers through psychological well-being. The recommendations arising from the study’s findings suggest tailored interventions for demographic groups, promotion of digital well-being, and the incorporation of digital literacy education.

“…In a related context, (Gerosa, T., et al, 2021) examine the extensive influence of smartphones on adolescents' lives. (Gerosa, T., et al, 2021) introduced an alternative measurement tool, the Smartphone Pervasiveness Scale for Adolescents (SPS-A), which shifts the focus from smartphone addiction to the frequency of use during key daily moments.…”

“…It was highlighted that the relationship between the use of digital technologies and academic achievement resembles a humpback-shaped curve and that optimum use can be advantageous (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 2011 ). However, frequent use in class or at night can effect the attention, concentration, and learning of individuals and have a negative effect on academic achievement (Gerosa et al 2020 ; Przybylski and Weinstein 2017 ).…”

Psychological factors have a significant role in better understanding mechanisms that affect students’ academic performance. The intense and long-term stress of the pandemic process has made it necessary to rethink the components which effect the academic achievement of pupils. The purpose of this study is to examine the variables that predict the academic achievement of university students during the pandemic process and to present a model on these variables. The study group has 241 students who continue their undergraduate education in Turkey. The data were collected with a self-description form and 6 scales. The partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Model was used to analyses the developed research model. In consequence of the study, a relationship was obtained between academic procrastination (AP) and multi-screen addiction (MSA). Covid-19 burnout has a crucial effect on AP, multiscreen addiction, and psychological well-being variables. Motivation and self regulation-attention variables are explanatory of AP. This study contributes to expanding the nomological network regarding the effects of Covid-19 on the psychological well-being and behavior of individuals.
