Are smartphones addictive? Examining the cognitive-behavior model of motivation, leisure boredom, extended self, and fear of missing out on possible smartphone addiction

Biying Wu-Ouyang

Summary: Smartphone addiction, a social problem, has been extensively studied in academia. However, few studies have applied the cognitive-behavior model of addiction as a theoretical basis to investigate the underlying mechanisms of smartphone addiction. This study fills the gap by examining both the distal and proximal causes of smartphone addiction using the cognitive-behavior model.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of discrepancies between logged and self-reported digital media use

Douglas A. Parry et al.

Summary: In a pre-registered meta-analysis, researchers found a moderate correlation between self-reported media use and logged measurements, indicating that self-reports were often inaccurate in reflecting actual media use. Measures of problematic media use showed an even weaker association with usage logs, raising concerns about the validity of findings relying solely on self-reported measures in media use studies.

Associations between Self-Reports and Device-Reports of Social Networking Site Use: An Application of the Truth and Bias Model

Kaitlyn Burnell et al.

Summary: The study found that people generally overestimate their use of social networking platforms, but the moderation by individual differences on this overestimation is inconsistent. Researchers are encouraged to use assessments other than self-reports when measuring digital technology use.

Smartphone Screen Time: Inaccuracy of self-reports and influence of psychological and contextual factors

Leora N. Hodes et al.

Summary: This study utilized iPhone software to investigate the association between screen time and undesirable consequences, finding that self-reports underestimated actual screen time while iPhone data overestimated it. The research also revealed that smartphone use was heavier on weekends and screen time significantly increased during lockdown. Additionally, smartphone attachment mediated the relationship between objective screen time and depression, but not anxiety.

Mobile data donations: Assessing self-report accuracy and sample biases with the iOS Screen Time function

Jakob Ohme et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new methodological approach called mobile data donations for collecting and analyzing smartphone usage data. The research finds that users' privacy concerns and technical skills are crucial factors for the willingness to donate mobile log data, and there is a tendency for underreporting of smartphone usage duration and frequency.
