Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Smartphone has become a crucial part of the teenage life. The era has changed from playground games to digital games; therefore, it is essential to evaluate the awareness of smartphone addiction in urban teenagers. A sample size of n=158 in the age group of 13-19 years was chosen and evaluated on basis of Smartphone Addiction Scale- short Version (SAS-SV). This scale helps to study the self-awareness among adolescents about their smartphone addiction. Percentage analysis of the data was done. The results obtained from the study indicated that there was about 50% addiction among teenagers and about 22% were at the risk of addiction due to their high scores. Hence, the need of the hour is to create awareness about the same, so as to curb the effects of addiction before establishment of ill-effects. The population which is addicted should also be targeted with rehabilitation.
