“…Family income as a possible risk factor for problematic smartphone use has also been investigated by several researchers, but most research found no significant association (Aljomaa, Al Qudah, Albursan, Bakhiet, & Abduljabbar, 2016;Alhassan et al, 2018;Cha & Seo, 2018), with one exception (Aktürk, Budak, Gültekin, & Özdemir, 2018), although this study was not specifically designed to investigate this association. Moreover, Sanal and Ozer (2017) reported no correlation between university students' major and problematic smartphone use.…”

The results of this study regarding problematic smartphone use by gender are congruent with those of Shahrestanaki et al (2020), but in contrast with those of other studies Sanal & Ozer, 2017) which have reported that there are no statistical differences between females and males in problematic smartphone use. Şar (2013) reported that smartphone addiction was significantly higher in males and this finding is incongruent with the finding of the current study.…”
