The present study examined variations in the degree of smartphone use behavior among male and female adolescents as well as the association between various degrees of smartphone use behavior and the vitality and mental health of each gender.
A total of 218 adolescents were recruited from a junior college in September 2014.
All the participants were asked to answer questionnaires on smartphone use.
The findings showed that adolescent females as compared with adolescent males exhibited significantly higher degrees of smartphone dependence and smartphone influence. Positive correlations were observed between the duration of smartphone use on weekends and the vitality/mental health of the male adolescents; negative correlations were found between smartphone dependence and the vitality/mental health of males.
The findings demonstrate that adolescent females are deeply affected by their smartphone use. Smartphone dependence may decrease the vitality and mental health of male adolescents.
本研究调查了青少年男性和女性在智能手机使用行为程度上的差异,以及不同程度的智能手机使用行为与各性别活力和心理健康之间的关联。
2014年9月从一所专科学校招募了总共218名青少年。
所有参与者都被要求回答关于智能手机使用的问卷。
研究结果表明,与青少年男性相比,青少年女性表现出显著更高程度的智能手机依赖和智能手机影响。观察到周末智能手机使用时长与男性青少年的活力/心理健康之间存在正相关;发现智能手机依赖与男性的活力/心理健康之间存在负相关。
研究结果表明青少年女性深受其智能手机使用的影响。智能手机依赖可能会降低男性青少年的活力和心理健康。
