PERSONAL PROPERTIES OF COLLEGE STUDENTS DEPENDENT

ON SMARTPHONE

The article is devoted to the study of personal characteristics of medical college students’ dependent on the smartphone. For many people, especially teenagers, boys and girls, the smartphone is an integral part of everyday life. Because of the constantly focused attention on the smartphone its active users cannot fully study, establish relationships with others and, in general, live a full life.

The negative consequences of smartphone addiction include psychological, behavioral and self-efficacy problems in victims of this addiction. Smartphone addiction has been linked to attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity disorder, depression, anxiety and stress. This dependence makes it difficult for students to adapt to student life, leads to academic delays, constant lack of sleep and health problems.

The paper uses the author’s methods for assessing smartphone addiction, assertiveness, vulnerability from cyberbullying, and well-known questionnaires of procrastination and shyness. The article shows that smartphone addiction in medical college students is positively associated with procrastination, shyness, insecurity from cyberbullying, and negatively — with assertiveness and good mood. All addictions, except the connection with procrastination, are linear, and the connection with procrastination is non-linear. The girls’ smartphone dependence differs from the general sample only that all connections are linear. In young men, smartphone addiction is positively connected with shyness, insecurity from cyberbullying, and negatively — with assertiveness and good mood, but there is no association with procrastination. All addictions, except the relationship with mood, are linear, and the relationship with mood is non-linear.

In the Russian-speaking society the results obtained generally repeat the connection of smartphone addiction identified in foreign studies with shyness, cyberbullying, assertiveness and mood. However, no links were found between smartphone addiction and problems with sleep and deteriorating health of students, as well as with procrastination in young men.

 

Keywords: smartphone addiction; procrastination; shyness; cyberbullying; assertiveness; mood; girls; young men; students; college.
