Abstract
Along with the universalization of smartphones, smartphone addiction is becoming a physical and mental social problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relevance of the problems caused by addiction in 300 adolescents, adults and the elderly. The results showed that the use of SNS and messenger were most related to the negative factors such as health problems, depression, antisocial, schizophrenia, lower self-esteem, and lower social expectation. In addition, games and videos were analyzed to have relatively low negative problems. Focusing on the high addiction rate, the researcher further analyzed the preference for problem solution and discussed the improvement measures for smartphone addiction reduction.
