“…In this regard much research has been conducted on children, adolescents and young adults, on the frequency of use of these technological tools, in particular the wide use of smartphone, about what motivates young people to use (Carlini et al, 2014) and the consequences that these have on them (Haug et al, 2015;De Pasquale, Sciacca, & Hichy, 2016). Recent literature showed the existence of comorbidity between the use of smartphone, internet addiction, and psychiatric disorders (Elhai et al, 2017;Mohammadbeigi et al, 2017).…”

Objectives: To establish a valid and reliable translated version of Smartphone Addiction Scale for adolescent (SAS-SV) in Italian languages. It is a 10-item, monodimensional, self-administered questionnaire, which was validated using a large Korean sample. Methods: We reported the linguistic validation process and the metric validity of the Italian version of SAS-SV in the Italy. The sample consisted of 633 adolescents and young adults, recruited from High Public School and University in Italy, with a mean age of 18 years. The validation process consisted in forward-backward translation, and factor structure testing. Results: Results showed a good reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .79) and an almost acceptable factor structure. Conclusion: A valid and reliable Smartphone Addiction Scale in Short Version was developed which can be used for research and clinical assessment of adolescents and young adults with smartphone addiction.

“…Abundant evidence demonstrates that overusage of digital channels is strongly linked to depression (see next sentence), whereas SADNESS is well-known to be the primary emotion most closely linked to depression [103]. Both Internet and smartphone addiction have been shown to be tightly linked with ADHD/depression [50,108,109] and lower life satisfaction [110][111][112], although it is still unclear if depression is a causal factor for overusing digital worlds or a consequence of being online. In the opinion of the authors ultimately both causal chains are imaginable and likely to be true.…”

Abstract:The present article gives an overview on central challenges humans face at the dawn of complex digital societies and the Internet of Things (IoT), i.e., a world completely connected to the Internet. Among the many challenges to be handled in digital societies is a growing fragmented life style leading to loss of productivity as well as moments for self-reflection. In all this, it is of tremendous importance to understand the impact of digital worlds on our brains and psyches and to reveal possible unintended side-effects of technology use. Does human nature change due to constant interactions with virtual realities? In this context, we also face the challenge to design digital worlds according to our mammalian-emotional heritage deeply anchored in subcortical areas of the human brain. Here, we refer to emotional needs as carved out by Panksepp's Affective Neuroscience Theory and how they can or cannot be fulfilled in digital worlds. Aside from a review of several key studies dealing with the raised challenges, some first solutions to successfully meet the mentioned problems are provided to achieve sustainable and healthy digital worlds, with whom humans can interact carefree on a daily basis.

“…Polling indicates that 77% of all U.S. adults own a smartphone, and 92% of those aged 18 to 29 own a smartphone (Pew Research Center, 2017). There is considerable research on psychology and behavior related to cell phone use, though most of the literature is based on survey studies and experience sampling applications (for reviews, see: Elhai et al, 2017;Rosen, Whaling, Carrier, Cheever, & Rokkum, 2013). For example, college students in the Midwestern USA reported using cell phones an average of 290 minutes (nearly five hours) per day (Lepp, Li, Barkley, & Salehi-Esfahani, 2015).…”
