A survey on mobile phone social media dependence among university students
Objective To investigate the specific status of mobile phone social media dependence among university students
so as to provide evidence for pertinent interventions.Methods A total of 338 students from a college in Lianyungang
Jiangsu Province were surveyed using a Mobile Phone Social Media Dependence Questionnaire for university students.Data were collected and statistically analyzed.Results Independent samples t-test showed that
female students scored higher than males in both compulsivity and conflict dimensions(P<0.05);grade-two students scored higher than freshmen in the dimensions of compulsivity
withdrawal
and social benefit(P<0.05);junior college students scored higher than undergraduates in the dimensions of salience
social benefit
compulsivity
and withdrawal(P<0.05).One-way analysis of variance indicated that
the scores in the dimensions of social benefit
compulsivity
conflict
and withdrawal varied significantly with different majors(P<0.05).Multiple comparisons revealed that
liberal and arts majors scored higher than science/engineering majors in the dimensions of social benefit
compulsivity
and conflict(P<0.05);liberal majors scored higher than science/engineering and arts majors in the withdrawal dimension(P<0.05).Conclusion Liberal majors
students from higher grades
junior college students
and female students are more susceptible to mobile phone social media dependence.Thus
it is important for schools and teachers to provide guidance and interventions focusing on these populations.
