“…In a rare longitudinal study, depressive symptoms were predictive of mobile phone addiction in South Korean adolescents (N=1794) [59]. In this study, depression could be considered a valid predictor as it was assessed at an earlier period than mobile phone addiction.…”

The papers reviewed here, approximately a third used the term smartphone addiction another third referred to it as mobile phone addiction and the most recent papers labeled it cell phone addiction. This variety of terms reflects the diversity of studies across multiple countries, the relative lack of consensus about how to define cell phone addiction and the use of six different scales that have been developed or adapted as abbreviated scales or as culturally relevant measures. The Oxford English dictionary definition of addiction is a "condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing or activity". Medically it is a "chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences and long-lasting changes in the brain".Like internet addiction, the prevalence of cell phone addiction has widely varied (2-89%) depending on the scale used and the location of the research (Table 1). And, in some countries, smart phones are continuously connected to the internet (for example, 89% time in a sample of Turkish tenth grade students) (N=609) [1].

This study investigated gray matter volume (GMV) related to problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) whether plays a potential moderating role in the relationship between PMPU and depressive symptoms. We recruited 266 students who underwent MRI scanning. PMPU and depressive symptoms were assessed by a self-rating questionnaire for adolescent problematic mobile phone use and patient health questionnaire-9, respectively. A multiple regression model was performed to detect GMV and WM integrity associated with PMPU by voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) methods, and the moderating analysis was conducted by PROCESS in SPSS software. VBM analysis found an inverse correlation between the GMV of the anterior cingulate gyrus (ACC) and right fusiform gyrus (FFG) with PMPU (PFDR<0.05), and TBSS analysis revealed that fractional anisotropy (FA) in the body of the corpus callosum was negatively correlated with PMPU. The correlation between PMPU and depressive symptoms was moderated by the GMV of the ACC. These results suggest that the GMV of the ACC and right FFG, as well as FA in the body of the corpus callosum, was related to PMPU, and we further found that increased GMV of the ACC could reduce the relationship between PMPU and depressive symptoms in college students.

“…Researchers have suggested that depression is a positive predictor of smartphone addiction, and individuals who suffer from depression symptoms tend to use smartphone excessively to eliminate their psychological distress [ 12 , 13 ]. Empirical researches have found longitudinal and bidirectional relationships between smartphone addiction and depressive symptoms [ 14 , 15 ]. Therefore, depression is an important variable in the study of smartphone addiction.…”

The relationships between negative emotions and smartphone addiction has been tested through the literature. However, most of the studies applied variable-centered approaches. The heterogeneity of smartphone addiction severity has not been examined for the associations with negative emotion variables. The purposes of the present study is to explore the latent classes of smartphone addiction and analyze the relationships between depression, social anxiety and boredom and these subgroups. The Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) and three negative emotion scales were employed to conduct a survey of 539 college students. Mplus8.3 software was applied to perform the latent class analysis (LCA) based on the smartphone addiction symptom ratings. ANOVA and multinomial logistic regression were used to explore the differences among these latent categories and the associations between these subgroups and negative emotion variables. Results demonstrated that Negative emotional variables were significantly correlated with smartphone addiction proneness. Based on their scores on the Smartphone Addiction Scale, smartphone users were divided into three latent classes: low risk class, moderate class and high risk class. Women were more likely to be classified in the high-risk class. The severity of depression and boredom was able to predict the membership of the latent class effectively; while social anxiety failed to do this in the high risk class.
