Mobile Phone Usage Preferences: The Contributing Factors of Personality, Social Anxiety and Loneliness

The relationships between perceived parenting style, learning motivation, friendship satisfaction, and the addictive use of smartphones with elementary school students of South Korea: Using multivariate latent growth modeling

“…A study of Yoon and Kwon (2011) indicated that addictive users of smartphones were prone to compensate for a strong need for interpersonal interaction. While they had a lot of friends and frequent interactions with other people, their friendship satisfaction was lower, which indicates that children who do not interact intimately with friends are more likely to rely on superficial interactions by using smartphones or the internet (Lee, Tam, & Chie, 2014).…”

The Relationship between Nomophobia and Loneliness among Turkish Adolescents

“…When the relevant literature is examined it can be seen that there is no study directly examining the prediction of loneliness on nomophobia, but there are some similar and different study results which evoke the relationship between nomophobia and loneliness. For example, Lee, Tam and Chie (2014) examined the association of personality factors, social anxiety (SA) and loneliness with mobile phone (MP) usage preferences on the basis of voice calling or text messaging, and found as the result of the multiple regression analyses that personality, SA and loneliness broadly predicted MP preferences. Hoffner, Lee and Park (2016) examined how mobile phones function as an affective technology for young adults, by adapting the self-expansion model to understand attachment to mobile phones.…”

When mobile phone use becomes problematic : the influence of self, parents and peers on adolescents' mobile phone behavior in Singapore and Malaysia

“…For example, researchers found that extraverted and neurotic individuals spend more time using mobile phones, but not those with high self-esteem (Butt & Philips, 2008). Yet, other studies revealed that there was no significant relationship between neuroticism and mobile phone use (Inyang, et al, 2010;Lee, Tam, & Chie, 2014). The relationship between neuroticism and mobile phone behaviours should be delved deeper to provide further information for parents and teachers to tackle problematic mobile phone use among adolescents.…”

“…Studies showed that the use of mobile phone differ according to the personalities of each individuals (e.g., Sarah & Philips, 2008;Ehrenberg, et al, 2008;Lee, Tam, & Chie, 2014). For example, extroverted and neurotic people tend to have high frequency of mobile phone use, such as text messaging (Butt & Philips, 2008).…”

“…In order to reduce the negative consequences of excessive mobile phone use, studies have been conducted to investigate the factors contributing to both mobile phone use and problematic mobile phone use (e.g. Butt & Philips, 2008;Ehrenberg, et al, 2008;Lee, Tam, & Chie, 2014;Beranuy et al, 2009;Bianchi & Phillips, 2005) Problematic Mobile Phone Use Different terms have been used to describe addictive tendencies of media use (Lee, Ho, and Lwin, 2017;Charlton et al, 2013) such as addiction, dependency, and problematic use. Existing mobile phone studies also used different terms to describe the addictive tendencies of mobile phone use, such as mobile phone addiction (Hong et al, 2012;Leung, 2008;Salehan & Negahban, 2013), mobile phone involvement (Walsh, White, Cox & Young, 2011), mobile phone dependency (Ezoe et al, 2009;Kawasaki et al, 2006;Sánchez-Martínez & Otero, 2009;Toda et al, 2006), and problematic mobile phone use (Billieux, 2015;Beranuy et al, 2009;Bianchi & Phillips, 2005;Martinotti et al, 2011;Merlo et al, 2013;Takao et al, 2009).…”
