People who are less emotionally stable and suffer from anxiety and depression are more likely to be addicted to their smartphones, according to a research. Emotional stability is characterised by being emotionally resilient. The study found that being less emotionally stable was associated with problematic smartphone behaviour. As levels of anxiety increase, problematic smartphone use also increases, the findings showed.
“Problematic smartphone use is more complex than previously thought and our research has highlighted the interplay of various psychological factors in the study of smartphone use,” said Zaheer Hussain, Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Derby in Britain.
A team of psychologists conducted an online study with 640 smartphone users to find out the association between smartphone use and personality traits. The results showed that people who are less open with their emotions are more likely to have problems . IANS
