Male group and higher stress group showed higher experience in problem solving, social support, and emotional stress coping (p>0.05). Stress and stress coping (r=0.322), stress and smartphone addiction (r=0.299) showed positive correlation. The significant factors of smartphone addiction were average daily using time (β=0.477, p<0.001), study stress (β=0.177, p<0.05), social stress (β=0.323, p<0.01), problem
solving (β=-0.320, p<0.001), social support (β=0.064, p<0.05), and emotional stress coping (β=0.264, p<0.001). These factors explained 30.8% of the variance in smartphone addiction.
