“…The pervasive nature of digital engagement, especially among younger individuals, can contribute to the development of digital addiction, characterised by an obsessive need to be constantly connected. This addiction can lead to social withdrawal, as individuals may prioritise virtual interactions over face-to-face communication, affecting the quality of real-world relationships (Nawaz, 2023). Moreover, the blue light emitted from screens can disrupt circadian rhythms, adversely impacting sleep patterns and contributing to sleep disorders (Kumari et al, 2023).…”

Research into health, particularly social and psychological health, is crucial. Ultimately, an in-depth understanding of social and psychological health will more than promote well-being. Technology research is indispensable, particularly concerning health and the built environment, given the need to create holistic and supportive frameworks for well-being. Moreover, because literature reviews establish the foundation for academic inquiries, they provide valuable overviews for foresight into grey research areas, particularly multi-disciplinary research like health technology and the built environment. Hence, this study aims to discover the existing themes on health, technology, and built-environment nexus subjects while revealing the grey areas and suggesting proactive areas for future research. The objectives drove this aim to: 1. investigate the implications of technology for the social and psychological dimensions of health; 2. uncover the likelihood of a nexus between health, technology, and the built environment; and 3. highlight new research perspectives for the concluding seven years of the SDGs (2024–2030). The review results highlighted ten themes around which a nexus exists between health, technology, and the built environment; they also pointed out new research perspectives for the next seven years (up to 2023).

“…While previous scales were developed based on existing “addiction” criteria (see Supplementary Table S1 ), they may not fully capture the current problems people face in relation to PSU (see a review, Nawaz, 2023 ), particularly issues specific to smartphone use like distracted driving and impaired productivity (e.g., D. Ding & Li, 2017 ; Fitch, Hanowski, & Guo, 2015 ; Jannusch et al., 2021 ; Oviedo-Trespalacios, Haque, King, & Washington, 2016 ). They also may not address general addiction-like features like compromised relationships and cognitive impairments (e.g., D. Ding & Li, 2017 ; Gutiérrez, de Fonseca, & Rubio, 2016 ; Wilmer, Sherman, & Chein, 2017 ).…”

Background and aimsProblematic smartphone use (PSU) has gained attention, but its definition remains debated. This study aimed to develop and validate a new scale measuring PSU-the Smartphone Use Problems Identification Questionnaire (SUPIQ).MethodsUsing two separate samples, a university community sample (N = 292) and a general population sample (N = 397), we investigated: (1) the construct validity of the SUPIQ through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses; (2) the convergent validity of the SUPIQ with correlation analyses and the visualized partial correlation network analyses; (3) the psychometric equivalence of the SUPIQ across two samples through multigroup confirmatory factor analyses; (4) the explanatory power of the SUPIQ over the Short Version of Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-SV) with hierarchical multiple regressions.ResultsThe results showed that the SUPIQ included 26 items and 7 factors (i.e., Craving, Coping, Habitual Use, Social Conflicts, Risky Use, Withdrawal, and Tolerance), with good construct and convergent validity. The configural measurement invariance across samples was established. The SUPIQ also explained more variances in mental health problems than the SAS-SV.Discussion and conclusionsThe findings suggest that the SUPIQ shows promise as a tool for assessing PSU. Further research is needed to enhance and refine the SUPIQ as well as to investigate its clinical utility.
