“…In a study conducted in Ethiopia in 2014, about 41% of medical students were high-volume SMS users (36). In another study conducted in Japan, most of the students were considered healthy, with regard to SMS dependency (18). It should be noted that this study involved nursery students and that most of the participants said that they had recently used their mobile phones (18).…”

“…In another study conducted in Japan, most of the students were considered healthy, with regard to SMS dependency (18). It should be noted that this study involved nursery students and that most of the participants said that they had recently used their mobile phones (18). According to an SMS addiction test administered to Tunisian high-school students, 31.7% reported excessive use, 33.4% reported emotional dependency on SMSs, and 18% relied on SMSs to maintain relationships (37).…”

“…As noted earlier, in the present study, the total SAT score of the top third (Group 1) and lower third (Group 3) for the dimensions of novelty seeking, cooperativeness, self-directedness and self-transcendence was significantly different. A previous study also showed that the frequency of mobile phone text message communication was significantly associated with high novelty seeking (18). Some previous studies employed the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Personality Inventory-Revised test (NEO PI-R) to assess the relationship between SMS addiction and personality.…”

“…This behaviour has a negative effect on schoolwork and academic performance (5,14,17). According to one study, the psychological dependency on SMSs may be associated with personality, character and temperament (18).…”

Background: The use of short message service (SMS) is very popular among youths. Recent research has shown that it has some adverse consequences such as dependency. Objective: The present research aimed to determine the frequency of SMS dependency and its association with the temperament and character of medical students. Methods: A total of 293 medical students participated in this cross-sectional study in 2015 in Mashhad, Iran. The study group was divided into four groups according to their grade (using stratified sampling). Temperament and character inventory (TCI) and an SMS addiction test (SAT) were distributed between participants. SPSS software (version 11.5) was used for data analysis. Linear regression, Spearman's Rank-Order Correlation, Independentsamples t-test, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis were used for data analysis. P-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Result: The mean age of participants was 24.44±4.63. Novelty seeking (p=0.003), cooperativeness (p<0.001), self-directedness (p<0.001) and self-transcendence (p=0.003) showed significant inverse correlation with total SAT score. There was significant difference between the mean of the total SAT in three state variables of novelty seeking (p=0.02), cooperativeness (p<0.001), self-directedness (p<0.001) and self-transcendence (p=0.02). The residents group had the highest mean SAT score. There was a significant difference in the total SAT scores according to the grade of the student (p<0.001). Moreover, we compared the participants' temperament and character with Iranian normative data (derived from a study conducted in 2005) and found that the mean score in each area differed significantly between the two datasets (p≤0.001). Conclusion: Use of communication technologies is different according to temperament. Considering the key role of medical students, more attention needs to be paid to cellphone usage in this group.

BackgroundLow birth weight has been shown to be closely associated with neonatal mortality and morbidity, inhibited growth, poor cognitive development, and chronic diseases later in life. Some studies have also shown that excessive mobile phone use in the postnatal period may lead to behavioral complications in the children during their growing years; however, the relationship between mobile phone use during pregnancy and neonatal birth weight is not clear. The aim of the present study was to determine the associations of excessive mobile phone use with neonatal birth weight and infant health status.MethodsA sample of 461 mother and child pairs participated in a survey on maternal characteristics, infant characteristics, and maternal mobile phone usage information during pregnancy.ResultsOur results showed that pregnant women tend to excessively use mobile phones in Japan. The mean infant birth weight was lower in the excessive use group than in the ordinary use group, and the frequency of infant emergency transport was significantly higher in the excessive use group than in the ordinary use group.ConclusionsExcessive mobile phone use during pregnancy may be a risk factor for lower birth weight and a high rate of infant emergency transport.

Objectives Assess the association between nomophobia and temperaments in the Lebanese population. Methods The cross‐sectional study was conducted between January and July 2019 (N = 2260). Results A total of 1089 of the participants (48.3%) appeared to have moderate nomophobia while 349 (15.5%) were found to exhibit severe nomophobia. Multivariable analysis showed that higher hyperthymic temperament (β = −0.34) was associated with less nomophobia, whereas higher irritable temperament (β = 0.43) was associated with more nomophobia. Practical implications The findings obtained from our study showed that a more irritable temperament was significantly associated with a more severe nomophobia, while hyperthymic temperament was associated with less nomophobia. They open up new perspectives for the evaluation of the temperaments among nomophobics with a better focus on the personality model and how they can predict nomophobia.
