Abstract

The use of smartphones has enormously increased among students around the world. Few studies have focused on this critical issue in Pakistan. This study examined the influence of Smartphone addiction in Pakistan. A survey questionnaire was utilized to collect data consisting of three dimensions: (a) Smartphone usage, (b) textbook use, and (c) self-study. A total of 401 university students responded to the survey. The data were analyzed by calculating descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA. The results showed significant differences in students' perceptions of all three dimensions of the questionnaire regarding gender, age, Grade Point Average (GPA), and year (academic session). Male students were found to have a higher tendency towards Smartphone use than female students compared to textbook use and self-study. The results of this study have broader policy implications for researchers and teachers of higher education.
智能手机成瘾:巴基斯坦大学生的福与祸
智能手机的使用在世界各地的学生中大大增加。很少有研究关注巴基斯坦的这一关键问题。这项研究调查了智能手机成瘾对巴基斯坦的影响。通过问卷调查收集三个维度的数据:(A)智能手机使用情况,(b)教科书使用情况,(c)自学情况。共有401名大学生参与了这项调查。数据分析采用计算描述性统计、独立样本t检验和方差分析。结果显示,在性别、年龄、平均绩点(GPA)和学年(学习时间)这三个维度上,学生对问卷的感知存在显著差异。与使用课本和自学相比,男生比女生更倾向于使用智能手机。本研究结果对高等教育的研究人员和教师具有更广泛的政策意义。
