In this paper, our goal is to examine the factors related to smartphone users' usage addiction. Based on existing literature on mobile usage behavior and addiction, we developed and tested a theoretical model and hypotheses, analyzing how variables based on the characteristics of smartphones affect smartphone usage addiction and how smartphone usage addiction affects social withdrawal. Given the literature review, a questionnaire survey was conducted; and the PLS(Partial Least Square), a kind of SEM(Structural Equation Model), was used to analyze and test the research model and hypotheses. The research results indicated that smartphone users' self-monitoring, loneliness, and smartphone characteristics affect users' usage addiction. Further, smartphone users' usage addiction affects their social withdrawal. Finally, theoretical and practical implications of these findings and directions for future research were discussed.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of smartphone addiction interventions among university students. Selection criteria included university students, smartphone addiction interventions, smartphone addiction, depression, anxiety, self-control and time of smartphone usage. A total of 915 articles were retrieved. From those, 15 studies from 13 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis showed that smartphone addiction interventions undergone by university students had statistical significance in alleviating smartphone addiction (d=-1.57, 95% CI:-2.84, -0.30), depression (d=-3.73, 95% CI:-4.97, -2.48), and self-control (d=7.28, 95% CI:2.76, 11.79); but were not significantly effective in improving anxiety and reducing time of smartphone usage. The systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that smartphone addiction interventions boost the alleviation of smartphone addiction. However, it remains necessary to conduct well-designed randomized controlled trials, including the consideration of various cultural characteristics.
