    Turkish Validity and Reliability of the SmartphoneOveruse Screening Questionnaire – Ölçek Uyarlama Çalışması, The Turkish Journal On Addictions

    Abstract


    This study aims to examine Turkish validity and reliability of the Smartphone Overuse Screening
    Questionnaire. The study group consisted of 400 students enrolled in different departments of a public university. The Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version and the Young’s Internet Addiction Test-Short Form were used for criterion validity. For the internal consistency of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha was calculated. Five items were removed from the questionnaire due to high covariance error in the items loaded into different factors. The new 23-item scale consisted of 6 factors with acceptable goodness-of-fit values. (χ2 /df = 2.83, root mean square error of approximation = 0.06, Comparative Fit Index = 0.90, Goodness of Fit Index = 0.87, Incremental Fit Index = 0.90). For the total score of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.93 and test– retest reliability coefficient was .79. (p  <.001). The total item correlation was found to be between .386 and .768. The Turkish Smartphone Overuse Screening Questionnaire showed a positive correlation with both the Young’s Internet Addiction Test-Short Form and the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version. The results indicate that the Smartphone Overuse Screening Questionnaire can be used as a valid and reliable scale by both researchers and practitioners while examining problematic smartphone use .

    The Relationship Among Anxiety, Depression, and Problematic Smartphone Use in University Students: The Mediating Effect of Psychological Inflexibility – Araştırma Makalesi, Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry

    ABSTRACT

    Objective: The number of studies that reveal the relationship between problematic smartphone use (PSU) and various health problems is increasing. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship among PSU, depression, and anxiety and the mediating effect of psychological inflexibility (PI) in this relationship in university students.

    Methods: This study was conducted with 412 university students aged between 18-35 years studying at a state university. All participants completed the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II, Beck De- pression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version. PROCESS macro in SPSS was used for mediation analysis.

    Results: Our analyses showed that both depression and anxiety were independent predictors of PSU even after controlling for each other. Our findings show that PI is the mediator variable in the effect of depression and anxiety on PSU.

    Conclusion: Mental health professionals working with problematic smartphone use among universi- ty students should consider psychological inflexibility as well as depression and anxiety.
