“…Previous researchers have identified problematic patterns and behaviors of smartphone use ( Kim, 2019 ; Samaha & Hawi, 2016 ), and there has been in-depth research on the variety of harms caused by CPA, such as family conflict ( Turel et al, 2008 ), decrease in sleep quality, and academic performance ( Lisewski et al, 2020 ; Zhang & Wu, 2020 ). Generally speaking, smartphones' accessibility and diverse internet-based functions make it even more addictive than other technology addictions ( Lin et al, 2016 ), and its properties during Covid-19 would be unique since it can help people escape reality and obtain pleasure.…”

“…They concluded that in-class CPU and CPU at night were negatively related to the overall GPA of college students. Negative aspects included (attention-drawing) classroom notifications (Junco & Cotten, 2012 ; Kim et al, 2021 ), multitasking and task-switching (Alvarez-Risco et al, 2020 ; Uzun & Kilis, 2019 ), “fear of missing out” (Chen & Yan, 2016 ), lack of motivation or a sense of boredom (Hawi & Samaha, 2017 ), and cell phone addiction (Lisewski et al, 2020 ; De-Sola Gutiérrez et al, 2016 ). YA’s, encountered with negative aspects of CPU for academic performance, scored poorly in exams (Uzun & Kilis, 2019 ).…”

We aim to uncover theoretical mechanisms associated with potential negative (i.e., multitasking) and positive (i.e., self-regulation) aspects of cell phone use (CPU) for academic performance in young adults. We hypothesized that, according to the Switch-Load Theory, repeated CPU during academic activities (CPU_Multitasking) would relate negatively, whereas, according to Zimmerman’s Theory of Self-Regulated Learning, CPU for self-regulated learning behaviors (CPU_SRLBehavior) would relate positively to the academic performance of undergraduate students. 525 (75.4% female) undergraduate students from a large public university participated in this study during fall 2019 by completing validated quantitative surveys accessing their CPU and academic performance. Spearman’s rho was used to compute the correlations and hierarchical regression was used to analyze the variance. Spearman rank-order coefficient showed that CPU_Multitasking relates negatively, but CPU_SRLBehavior is unrelated to the college GPA of undergraduate students. Hierarchical regression showed that CPU_Multitasking was not a significant predictor of academic performance. Young adults who switch to their cell phones during class or study-related activities are more likely to have lower performance in exams as CPU_Multitasking costs time and efficiency (Switch Load Theory). Young adults who use their cell phones for self-regulated learning behavior are less likely to have an impact on their academic performance as CPU_SRLBehavior helps regulate habits but not learning processes. With the known theoretical mechanisms for CPU multitasking and SRL Behavior, this study provides a guiding document for educational computing system practitioners to explore more theory-driven empirical approaches in the field of CPU and academic success.

“…This research explores the hypothesis that higher smartphone usage will result in increased addiction to the mobile phone and associated problems. In the past studies has found problematic pattern and behaviors of smartphone usage (Sohn et al, 2019), and there has been extensive research on the various harms produced by mobile phone addiction, including family conflict, decreased sleep quality and academic performance (Lisewski et al, 2020;Zhang & Wu, 2020). Generally, smartphone addiction is more addictive than other technology addiction.…”

The smartphone has become an indispensable tool for reshaping human existence and life. Smartphones have been created as a valuable variety of functions and greater movability as a result of the development of smartphones, which has increased the high prevalence of smartphone use, specifically youngsters. Smartphone use is a part of digital technologies, like internet, and it has been expected to have a comparable impact, mainly on youth. People are becoming addicted or dependent on smartphones as a result of its appealing and convenient features, as well as their multipurpose function, to the point where a day without smartphone use seems to them to be an incomplete day. However, such social issues seem to elicit less attention from academicians, resulting in poor understanding of the topic. As a result, this research aims to identify behaviour factors on smartphone usage and determine the relationship between behavior factors and smartphone addiction among youths. There were employed survey method in this study. The research was carried out on 400 youths from four public universities in Klang Valley. The finding identified most of the respondents spent more that 12 hours on Internet usage. Based on the result concluded smartphone addiction is correlated with behavior factors namely loneliness, shyness, and stress. Higher assessment on the Internet tie-up on smartphone addiction. To mitigate the negative consequences, it is suggested that government need to give serious attention and must come out with prevention strategies focusing on attitudes that helping youths to set limits for their smartphone accessibility. Apart from that, future studies require different group of respondents and widen range of geographical scope in identifying smartphone users' behaviors and mental health issues.
