Due to their ubiquity, compulsive mobile phone use (CMPU) should include cognitive, psychological, and behavioral dimensions. This study has two main objectives-(a) explicate a multidimensional measure of CMPU and examine individual differences in the various dimensions and (b) conceptualize mobile phone self-efficacy and examine its relationship with CMPU. A survey with 446 U.S. adults was conducted in which respondents completed assessments related to CMPU, mobile phone self-efficacy, and mobile phone use frequency. Results showed the presence of a three-dimensional factor structure for CMPU. While gender, age, and mobile phone activity were associated with CMPU, mobile phone self-efficacy was not. The relevance of the findings is discussed along with implications for future research.
由于其普遍性,强迫性手机使用(CMPU)应包括认知、心理和行为维度。本研究有两个主要目标——(a)阐述CMPU的多维测量方法并检验各维度的个体差异,以及(b)对手机自我效能进行概念化并检验其与CMPU的关系。对446名美国成年人进行了一项调查,受访者完成了与CMPU、手机自我效能和手机使用频率相关的评估。结果显示CMPU存在三维因素结构。虽然性别、年龄和手机使用活动与CMPU有关,但手机自我效能与CMPU无关。文中讨论了研究结果的相关性以及对未来研究的启示。
