“…The Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale [52] is a 15-item measure that captures the extent to which students psychologically rely on smartphone use in their daily life using a four-point Likert scale. The scale assesses the following sub-factors: disturbance of adaptive functions, virtual life orientation, withdrawal, and tolerance.…”

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has been disrupting the daily lives of people across the world, causing a major concern for psychological well-being in children. This study aimed to examine (1) how life satisfaction and its potential predictors have been affected by the pandemic among school-aged children in Korea, and (2) which factors would predict their life satisfaction during the pandemic. We surveyed 166 fourth-graders in the Seoul metropolitan area to assess their psychological well-being and potentially related variables during the pandemic. The data were compared with those available from two pre-COVID-19 surveys, the 2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (n = 1236) and the 2019 Korean Children and Youth Well-being Index Survey (n = 334). Higher levels of stress were observed in children during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the level of their life satisfaction remained unchanged when compared with data from the pre-COVID-19 surveys. The pandemic also affected peer relationship quality and susceptibility to smartphone addiction, but not perceived parenting style nor academic engagement. Interestingly, peer relationship quality no longer predicted life satisfaction during the pandemic; perceived parenting styles and parent-child conversation time predicted life satisfaction. The results suggest a central role of parent-child relationship in supporting the psychological well-being of school-aged children during the pandemic.

“…Initially, 94 subjects (65 males and 29 females) were recruited. Participants were screened for excessive smartphone use with the Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS; Kim et al, 2012;Kim, Lee, Lee, Nam, & Chung, 2014). Subjects were classified as excessive smartphone users if their total SAPS score exceeded 40, or if their subscale score exceeded 14 for disturbance of adaptive function.…”

Lateral orbitofrontal gray matter abnormalities in subjects with problematic smartphone use

et al. 2019

Background and aims Smartphone use is becoming commonplace and exerting adequate control over smartphone use has become an important mental health issue. Little is known about the neurobiology underlying problematic smartphone use. We hypothesized that structural abnormalities in the fronto-cingulate brain region could be implicated in problematic smartphone use, similar to that has been reported for Internet gaming disorder and Internet addiction. This study investigated fronto-cingulate gray matter abnormalities in problematic smartphone users, particularly those who spend time on social networking platforms. Methods The study included 39 problematic smartphone users with excessive use of social networking platforms via smartphone and 49 normal control male and female smartphone users. We conducted voxel-based morphometric analysis with diffeomorphic anatomical registration using an exponentiated Lie algebra algorithm. Region of interest analysis was performed on the fronto-cingulate region to identify whether gray matter volume (GMV) differed between the two groups. Results Problematic smartphone users had significantly smaller GMV in the right lateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) than healthy controls, and there were significant negative correlations between GMV in the right lateral OFC and the Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS) score, including the SAPS tolerance subscale. Conclusions These results suggest that lateral orbitofrontal gray matter abnormalities are implicated in problematic smartphone use, especially in social networking platform overuse. Small GMV in the lateral OFC was correlated with an increasing tendency to be immersed in smartphone use. Our results suggest that orbitofrontal gray matter abnormalities affect regulatory control over previously reinforced behaviors and may underlie problematic smartphone use.

“…The adolescents were asked to rate their sleep quality on school days, using a four‐point Likert scale ranging from 1 = “very poor” to 4 = “excellent,” based on questions from the 2013 Youth Media Use Survey. Smartphone dependence was surveyed using 15 items from the Smartphone Addiction Self‐Diagnosis Scale by Kim et al (Kim et al, 2012) and rated on a four‐point Likert scale ranging from 1 = “not at all” to 4 = “very much so.” Three items were reverse‐coded. Possible scores ranged from 15 to 60, with higher scores representing higher smartphone dependence.…”

This study examines factors influencing depression in adolescents with increased suicidal ideation during the COVID‐19 pandemic, based on an ecological model and using data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey, 2018. We selected adolescents whose suicidal ideation increased between the third and fourth years of the pandemic and who identified their parents as their guardians. Factors related to depression in adolescents were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression, while considering personal and environmental characteristics in the family and school domains. All models were significant, and Model 3 explained 26.8% of the variance. In Model 3, personal characteristics—physical activity, sleep quality on school days, and smartphone dependence—affected adolescents' depression. Parents' life satisfaction and a rejective childrearing attitude were also found to be significant factors affecting adolescents' depression, along with school life satisfaction and school type. Our findings can inform evidence‐based nursing interventions to reduce depression in adolescents with increased suicidal ideation. They can also contribute to building strategies to promote mental health in schools after the pandemic, forming healthy life habits, and laying the foundation for lifelong health.
