In total, 255 students studying at Dumlupinar University and using smartphone (136 male and 119 female) voluntarily participated to the study. Within the scope of this study, Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) (Noyan, Darcin, Nurmedov, Yilmaz & Dilbaz, 2015) was applied to the participants. To the data gathered from the participants, parametric tests as Independent Sample T-Test and ANOVA were applied (p<0.05). According to the results there is significant difference between smartphone addiction of participants and gender, age and recreational sports (p<0,05); but there is no significant difference between smartphone addiction and academic success and recreational activities practiced (p>0,05).
