“…However, the present study's findings emphasize the relationship between life satisfaction, phubbing, and communication disturbance. Previous studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between gaming addiction, smartphone addiction, and well-being (Myrseth et al 2017;Samaha and Hawi 2016;Song et al 2018). The mediating role of communication disturbance identified in the present study could be interpreted as an indication of the cumulative interaction of the expressed dimensions.…”

Phubbing refers to an individual giving more attention to their mobile phone when in face-toface communication with another individual. Research in the area of phubbing is relatively new and is often related to habitual mobile phone use. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationships between phubbing, the Big Five personality traits, and life satisfaction. The mediating role of phubbing in the relationship between personality traits and life satisfaction was also investigated. The sample comprised 292 university students (192 females [65.8%] and 100 males [34.2%]). The age of the university students in the study group ranged from 17 to 28 years and the mean age was 20.05 years (SD = 2.33). Correlation analysis demonstrated that there were significant relationships between life satisfaction, phubbing, communication disturbances, and neuroticism. Phubbing was shown to have a nonsignificant relationship with life satisfaction. The study also examined the mediating role of communication disturbances in the relationship between neuroticism and life satisfaction. Neuroticism was shown to have a significant effect on communication disturbances, and communication disturbances had a significant effect on life satisfaction. Consequently, communication disturbances had a mediating role in the relationship between neuroticism and life satisfaction.

“…In other words, maternal smartphone dependency can aggravate perceived negative parenting and lead to increased adolescent smartphone dependency. Similarly, one previous study found that maternal smartphone addiction tendency had a negative influence on parenting behaviors of mothers with preschoolers [52]. Kildare and Middlemiss [20], conducted a literature review and found that parents who excessively used mobile phones are less sensitive and responsive to their children, and that this behavior leads to poor parent-child interaction.…”

Given the prevalence and undesirable consequences of smartphone dependency among adolescents, it is necessary to explore the influencing factors of adolescent smartphone dependency. The aim of this study was to examine the intergenerational transmission of mother–adolescent smartphone dependency and the mediating role of negative parenting, moderated by adolescent gender. Data for 2541 middle school students (mean aged = 13 years)–mother dyads were obtained from the first wave of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 (KCYPS 2018). The moderated mediation model using Hayes PROCESS macro (Model 14) was employed to test the study hypothesis. The moderated mediation model revealed that maternal smartphone dependency was associated with adolescent smartphone dependency. Perceived negative parenting mediated this link and adolescent gender moderated the relationship between negative parenting and adolescent smartphone dependency, especially for adolescent girls. Our findings showed that both maternal smartphone dependency and negative parenting were determinants of adolescent smartphone dependency, suggesting that both factors were important for understanding these issues. Moreover, the mediating role of negative parenting (between maternal and adolescent smartphone dependency) implies that parental education programs designed to improve negative parenting may reduce adolescent smartphone dependency, especially for adolescent girls.

“…A few studies (Kim et al, 2022 ; Kim et al, 2021 ; Lee & Lee, 2017 ; Song et al, 2019 ) have investigated the relationship between parents and children in smartphone addiction on the basis of these claims. It is difficult to confirm the evolution of addiction and the relationship over time since studies on the parent–child relationship in smartphone addiction were mostly based on cross-sectional approaches.…”

Children are more likely to become addicted as they become accustomed to using smartphones, and as they observe and imitate their parents using smartphones. This study aims to confirm longitudinally the effect of mother’s smartphone addiction on children’s smartphone addiction. Latent growth modeling was used to analyze longitudinal relationships between 3615 pairs of children and their mothers from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) (2018–2020). As a result, both the mothers and children’s smartphone addiction significantly increased over time. The initial value of the mother’s smartphone addiction was found to have a significant effect on the child's initial value and the change rate. Moreover, children’s smartphone addiction change rate was significantly affected by the change rate of the mother’s smartphone addiction. To intervene in children’s smartphone addiction, a family-level approach, as well as parental addiction, must also be addressed, and a preventive approach should focus on those with a low risk of addiction.
