TLDR
This work investigates smartphone usage for 95 college students using surveys, logged data, and interviews to identify between-group usage differences, which ranged from the overall usage patterns to app-specific usage patterns.Abstract:
The negative aspects of smartphone overuse on young adults, such as sleep deprivation and attention deficits, are being increasingly recognized recently. This emerging issue motivated us to analyze the usage patterns related to smartphone overuse. We investigate smartphone usage for 95 college students using surveys, logged data, and interviews. We first divide the participants into risk and non-risk groups based on self-reported rating scale for smartphone overuse. We then analyze the usage data to identify between-group usage differences, which ranged from the overall usage patterns to app-specific usage patterns. Compared with the non-risk group, our results show that the risk group has longer usage time per day and different diurnal usage patterns. Also, the risk group users are more susceptible to push notifications, and tend to consume more online content. We characterize the overall relationship between usage features and smartphone overuse using analytic modeling and provide detailed illustrations of problematic usage behaviors based on interview data.read more

How phubbing becomes the norm
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the contributing roles of Internet addiction, fear of missing out, self-control, and smartphone addiction, and how the frequency of phubbing behavior and of being phubbed may both lead to the perception that being a snubber is normative.

Persuasive technology : using computers to change what we think and do
TL;DR: Fogg has coined the phrase Captology (an acronym for computers as persuasive technologies) to capture the domain of research, design, and applications of persuasive computers as mentioned in this paper, and has revealed how Web sites, software applications, and mobile devices can be used to change people's attitudes and behavior.

Habits make smartphone use more pervasive
TL;DR: It is found that checking habits occasionally spur users to do other things with the device and may increase usage overall, and supporting habit-formation is an opportunity for making smartphones more “personal” and “pervasive.”

TL;DR: A comprehensive study of smartphone use finds that qualitative similarities exist among users that facilitate the task of learning user behavior and demonstrates the value of adapting to user behavior in the context of a mechanism to predict future energy drain.

Unregulated Internet Usage: Addiction, Habit, or Deficient Self-Regulation?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of deficient self-regulation on media behavior in a sample of 465 college students and found that media consumers monitor, judge, and adjust their own behavior, processes that may be found in all media consumers.
