The smartphone has become integral to most aspects of students' lives and is the primary conduit for accessing the internet. Objective research into the promise and dangers of this device is critical. While educational uses of the smartphone with young adults hold promise, the potential for harm is also present. While objectivity is valued, the focus of researchers can subjectively skew towards optimistic or pessimistic views of technology. The topics addressed in smartphone and learning research illuminate trends and potential biases in the field. This study investigates the issues addressed in smartphone and learning research in the past two years. These topics are compared with smartphone research in a similar field: psychology. The study, using a bibliometric approach, identified an overall negative arc of the literature towards topics such as addiction, depression, and anxiety in the psychology literature. The educational literature topics were comparatively more positive than psychology. Highly cited papers in both fields reflected explorations of adverse outcomes.
智能手机已成为学生生活大多数方面不可或缺的一部分，并且是接入互联网的主要渠道。对该设备的前景和风险进行客观研究至关重要。虽然智能手机在与年轻人的教育用途方面具有前景，但危害的可能性也存在。虽然客观性很重要，但研究人员的关注点可能会主观地偏向于对技术的乐观或悲观看法。智能手机与学习研究中涉及的主题揭示了该领域的趋势和潜在偏见。本研究调查了过去两年智能手机与学习研究中涉及的问题。这些主题与类似领域——心理学中的智能手机研究进行了比较。该研究采用文献计量学方法，发现心理学文献中关于成瘾、抑郁和焦虑等主题的文献总体呈负面倾向。教育文献主题相对比心理学文献更积极。两个领域中被高度引用的论文都反映了对不良后果的探索。
