“…Peer interactions can exert significant impacts on individual psychology and behaviors. Although many studies have explored the peer environmental factors of mobile phone addiction [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ], few studies have linked peer environment to the specific type of mobile phone addiction such as mobile social addiction. Extending previous research demonstrating the effect of peer victimization on Internet addiction or mobile phone addiction [ 14 , 19 ], the present study found that peer victimization directly increased the risk of mobile social addiction.…”

“…Mobile social addiction refers to individuals’ strong psychological carving for mobile social applications and excessive use of various mobile social applications, which causes significant negative impacts on social functions and daily life [ 7 ]. Although many studies have analyzed the influencing factors of generic mobile phone addiction, such as family factors [ 9 , 10 ], school factors [ 8 , 11 ], and peer factors [ 12 , 13 ], there are relatively few studies focusing on the specific type of mobile phone addiction such as mobile social addiction.…”

Social media addiction has become one of the typical problem behaviors during adolescence. The present study examined the mediation of social anxiety between peer victimization and adolescent mobile social addiction and tested whether gender could moderate the direct and indirect effects of peer victimization. 649 adolescents between 12 and 19 years of age (Mage = 14.80, SDage = 1.82) completed the anonymous survey. The results found that social anxiety was a mediator linking peer victimization to mobile social addiction. Gender could moderate the direct and indirect effects of peer victimization, and these two effects were stronger in girls than in boys. The results highlight the role of social anxiety in explaining how peer victimization was associated with adolescent mobile phone addiction and the role of gender in explaining when or for whom the direct and indirect associations between peer victimization and adolescent mobile social addiction were more potent. The findings would contribute to the intervention of mobile social addiction.

“…Future studies are supposed to control actual age as a covariable. Fourth, the problematic or compulsive use of smartphones may have an effect on the types of smartphone use content and social relationships [ 38 , 39 , 73 ]. Researchers can include the problematic or compulsive use of smartphones in the future to explore the relationship between types of smartphone use content and social relationships.…”

“…Such a phenomenon may also exist in the studies of digital technology use and interpersonal relationships. For instance, in regard to interpersonal relationships, different researchers may only report the results of one type of relationship (e.g., peer, teacher–student relationship, or parent–child relationship) [ 27 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Third, although past research has described a negative or positive correlation between digital technology use and social relationships, it remains unclear whether such effects are important enough to attract the attention of the public or policy-makers.…”

The past two decades have witnessed controversy over whether the use of digital technology has damaged or enhanced adolescents’ social relationships, which influences their development. In this study, we addressed this debate by specifying the effect of different types of smartphone use content on social relationships, rather than simply relying on screen time spent on digital media. To avoid selective analysis and report of different variables, we used specification curve analysis (SCA) in a large dataset (N = 46,018) to explore the correlations between 20 types of smartphone use content and adolescents’ social relationships (parent–child, peer, and teacher–student). The types of smartphone use content were measured by the revised version of Mobile Phone Use Pattern Scale, the Parent-Child Relationship Scale, the Peer Relationship Scale, and the Teacher-Student Relationship Scale assessed three different social relationships, respectively. Of the 20 types of smartphone use content, only playing games (negatively explaining 1% of the variation), taking online courses (positively explaining 1.6% of the variation), using search engines (positively explaining 1.2% of the variation), using a dictionary (positively explaining 1.3% of the variation), and obtaining life information (positively explaining 1.5% of the variation) showed a significant effect size. The association between smartphone use and adolescents’ social relationships depends on the various types of content with which adolescents engage during smartphone use. The various effects of different types of smartphone use content deserve the attention of both the public and policy-makers.
