Analysis of Mobile Phone Dependence among Students in Higher Vocational Institutions

Abstract

Students’ motivation for using mobile phones is mainly entertainment, followed by a sense of achievement and finally social interaction. Mobile phone dependency is a real problem for students in higher vocational institutions and accounts for up to 90% of the population. Students’ mobile phone dependence is influenced by their motivation to use, and the result is that the individual is physically and mentally impaired, which has some negative impact on their social functioning. In tests of students’ mobile phone dependence, the results are out of control > avoidance > wariness > inefficiency. Three ways of intervention are recommended: by actively guiding students in the scientific use of mobile phones, by strengthening control over classroom order management and by establishing a harmonious teacher-student connection through mobile phones.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Learning and Entertainment from the Perspective of Behavioral Economics

“…Hou Yanqin, Zhang Shumin and Zhang Yutong also investigated the relationship between mobile phone entertainment and learning procrastination, which is the most important part of college students' entertainment. Through a survey of 900 students from Cangzhou Medical College, it is concluded that there is a significant positive correlation between the total score of college students' mobile phone dependence questionnaire and the total score of runaway, withdrawal, evasion, inefficiency and the total score of the learning procrastination questionnaire and the completion of homework, review preparation, and independent learning dimension score, indicating that college students' mobile phone dependence has a serious impact on learning delay [2]. This is not only the squeeze of the study time, but also the deterioration of the study habits.…”
