“…To date, no consensus exists regarding the conceptualization and diagnosis of problematic IPU. For instance, numerous terms have been used to describe the phenomenon (e.g., internet sex addiction [7,8], problematic online sexual activities [9], cybersex addiction [10], and problematic internet pornography use [6]). Although these concepts are slightly different, they all comprise three crucial components: the medium (the internet), the content (sexual behavior), and the problematic use (the compulsive behavior).…”

“…Because the pervasiveness and intrusiveness of smartphones can lead to such problematic and/or compulsive use in a minority of cases, some scholars consider these habits as a behavioral dependence, and therefore a variant of technological dependence (Salehan and Negahban 2013). In fact, psychological literature describes several commonalities between maladaptive use of the internet and smartphones, including symptoms such as obsessivecompulsive behaviors (Kuss and Griffiths 2012;Kuss et al 2014;Lopez-Fernandez 2015;Kardefelt-Winther 2014b). Other scholars consider problematic smartphone use as a specific dependence, culminating in what has been called "smartphone addiction" (Kuss and Griffiths 2017).…”

“…The literature describes several commonalities and differences between internet and smartphone misuse, such as having similar symptoms to other forms of addiction (Kuss and Griffiths 2012 ; Kuss et al 2014 ; Lopez-Fernandez 2015 ). Currently, the terminology describing problematic smartphone use is inconsistent, as evidenced by the use of the various terms including “addiction,” “excessive,” “compulsive,” “compensatory,” and “problematic” (e.g., Kardefelt-Winther 2014a , b ; Widyanto and Griffiths 2006 ).…”
