Abstract
Since the proliferation of smartphones, the general public as well as researchers have shown a growing interest in their potentially addictive effects. Over the past years, smartphone use research has grown exponentially. While scholars have moved away from “smartphone addiction” terminology in contemporary research and opted for alternative terminology (e.g., “problematic smartphone use” and “smartphone use disorder”) and frameworks, excessive smartphone use has been found to be correlated with depression and anxiety, as well as loss of productivity at work and school. This chapter provides a broader view of this research domain by exploring the following issues: is “smartphone addiction” a real phenomenon? How does it develop? Are some people more prone to experiencing it than others? How can it be assessed, and if one experiences this issue, how could it be treated? We aim to answer these questions in the current work. In addition, we outline some concerns with the construct of “smartphone addiction” while also providing insights into the latest research on this topic.
