Severin Haug et al (2015) took a convenience sample of 1,519 students from 127 Swiss vocational school classes who participated in a survey assessing demographic and health-related characteristics as well as indicators of smartphone use and addiction.
Smartphone addiction was assessed using a short version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale for Adolescents (SAS-SV). They found that smartphone addiction occurred in 256 (16.9%) of the 1,519 students. Longer duration of smartphone use on a typical day, a shorter time period until first smartphone use in the morning, and reporting that social networking was the most personally relevant smartphone function were associated with smartphone addiction.
Smartphone addiction was more prevalent in younger adolescents (15–16 years) compared with young adults (19 years and older), students with both parents born outside Switzerland, persons reporting lower physical activity, and those reporting higher stress.
