Purpose: University life is a very significant period for students, during which they have to nurture their personality to help them adapt to life after graduation. However, excessive use of smartphones has been observed to causes increasingly severe isolation and unstable emotional conditions among students. Therefore, this descriptive study aimed to identify the level of smartphone addiction in college students and its relationship with their emotional intelligence and self-control.
Method: A total of 232 college students participated in the study. A, questionnaire was used, which comprised 59 structured questions on smartphone addiction (15 questions), emotional intelligence (23 questions), and self-control (21 questions).
Results: The findings revealed that the addiction rate of the subjects was at a marked 25.5%. This was higher than that of Korean adults in 2012, (11%). Further, the higher the addiction level, the lower was the participants’ emotional intelligence (r=-0.177, p<0.007) and self-control (r=-0.418, p<0.001). Furthermore, when their emotional intelligence was higher, so was their self-control (r=.502, p<.001).
Conclusion: Those at a high risk for smartphone addiction need to be identified early, and an appropriate. Program needs to be developed to prevent such addiction.
