Data were collected from 102 middle school students using a self-reported questionnaire, which included a general stress scale, the way of coping checklist, and smartphone usage time per day. A Descriptive, Pearson correlation and hierarchial regression analyses were performed and found that 80% of the student participants used samrtphone. The average smartphone usage per day was 2.8 hours. Smartphone usage time correlated with perceived stress (r=0.344, p=＜.01), emotion focused coping (r=0.438, p=＜.01), and wishful thinking coping (r=0.285, p=＜.01). The emotion focused coping had a moderating effect (β=1.105, p=＜.05) between perceived stress and smartphone usage in adolescents.
