Abstract

Smartphone addiction has caused serious damage to the psychological health of adolescents. The aim of this longitudinal study was to clearly demonstrate the relationship between smartphone addiction and flourishing in adolescents. A total of 212 Turkish adolescents (M_age = 16.13, age range = 13–17) participated in the study at three time points, three months apart. Findings based on a cross-lagged panel model demonstrated that low levels of flourishing at Time 1 increased adolescents' smartphone addiction levels at Time 2. The results also revealed that smartphone addiction (Time 2) influenced flourishing (Time 3). These findings imply that a low level of flourishing increases smartphone addiction over time, and an increase in the level of smartphone addiction makes adolescents decrease their level of flourishing over time. The current findings offer important implications for mental health researchers and practitioners regarding the relationship between adolescents' smartphone addiction and flourishing level. Based on these implications, effective coping strategies and psycho-educational programs should be developed and implemented that can help increase flourishing and reduce the negative effects of smartphone addiction in adolescents.

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
