“…The findings reveal that external factors influence students' habitual behaviour on the utilisation of mobile phones for academic purposes. Previous research has demonstrated the effect of using mobile phones on individual behaviours (i.e., Ahmad, 2020;Chen et al, 2023;Fook & Narasuman, 2022;Li et al, 2020;Onaolapo & Oyewole, 2018;Reddy et al, 2023), this study presents a contrast from the previous study that employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework. While the majority of the prior studies emphasised examining the factors that impact individual behavioural intentions towards technology usage (Alfalah, 2023;Rahi & Abd.…”

Mobile phones have become essential tools in educational environments, as they can significantly influence students' learning achievement and facilitate communication. The present study draws upon the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Theory of Habitual Behaviour. This study explores the relationship between factors (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence) and Malaysian undergraduate students' habitual behaviour of using mobile phones for academic purposes. Data was collected via questionnaires from 393 undergraduate students at a Malaysian public university. The findings demonstrated that effort expectancy and social influence had a significant relationship with mobile phone habitual behaviour for academic purposes. However, performance expectancy had no significant relationship with mobile phone habitual behaviour for academic purposes. This study sheds light on the critical role of effort expectancy and social influence in shaping students' habitual behaviour regarding academic mobile phone usage.

“…Chen and Qin concluded that reducing loneliness and increasing selfesteem should be pursued in interventions aiming to reduce adolescents' social anxiety 19 . Chen and Shen's study showed that self-esteem is negatively related to MPA; when college students' self-esteem is high, it is di cult for them to fall into MPA 20 . Therefore, self-esteem may act as a mediator between depression and MPA.…”

Purpose Cell phone addiction has become a widespread social phenomenon in China. Because this phenomenon has caused a wide range of social concerns, this study aims to explore the relationships among depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and cell phone addiction. It further aims to conduct an analysis of the factors affecting cell phone addiction. Method This study was conducted in 2023. We used the SDS depression scale, the SAS anxiety scale, the SAS cell phone addiction scale and the Robert self-esteem scale. Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling were used to explore the relationships among depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and cell phone addiction. Results The study's findings suggest that there is a correlation between depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and cell phone addiction. Additionally, self-esteem mediates the relationship between anxiety and cell phone addiction. Lastly, in the development of cell phone addiction, anxiety and self-esteem have sequential mediating roles. Conclusion These findings offer insight into the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between depression and cell phone addiction, thereby helping researchers and educators. In addition, the results provide practical and effective suggestions for the prevention and intervention of cell phone addiction among college students.

“…Prior research has confirmed that academic achievement is strongly linked to peer relationships [11,12]. For example, peer relationships can promote individuals' cooperation with others [3], enhance achievement motivation [13], influence course preferences [14], reduce cell phone addiction [15], and dissipate the negative effects of online education on academic engagement [16]. Having a trustworthy and loyal friend during the first semester of college was found to be associated with a higher grade point average (GPA) [17].…”

This study aimed to detect college students’ daily peer networks through a behavioral big-data-driven social network analysis and to explore the relationship between college students’ daily peer relationships and academic achievement. We collected data on the class attendance, eating, and bathing records of 4738 undergraduate students who entered a university in 2018 to infer the daily peer relationship networks of students. The Louvain algorithm and some network indicators such as density and average clustering coefficient were used to investigate social network characteristics of peer relationship networks. The findings show that initially, students in the same dormitory tended to form daily peer relationships, gradually shifting toward relationships centered on classmates as time progressed. These peer networks often aligned with geographical location and living areas. Moreover, the peers of college students who received high-level scholarships were more likely to receive scholarships. The number of peers was positively correlated with the likelihood of receiving a scholarship. The research findings contribute to the application of information technology to promote the sustainable development of higher education and individual students.
