Cellphone addiction is defined as the excessive and compulsive use of cellphones and is always associated with negative effects on a person's emotional, social and behavioral development. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of satisfying basic psychological needs in the relationship between the quality of mother-child relationships and cell phone addiction in college students.

The present correlational descriptive study was conducted in 2022. The statistical population of the research included all the students of Yasuj University in the academic year of 2021-2022 who used cellphones. For the sample size, 15 people were considered for each path based on Klein's opinion. To conclude, the sample size was estimated to be 335 people. The coexistence of the corona virus epidemic with the implementation of the questionnaire caused sampling to be done in a targeted way and through virtual networks (WhatsApp group). By sharing the questionnaires in the WhatsApp groups of university students' classes, 303 questionnaires were collected. The collected data were analyzed using statistical tests such as Pearson's correlation coefficient, regression and structural equation modeling with partial least squares method.

The results indicated that the standardized regression coefficient of the quality of mother-child relationships and cellphone addiction was 0.25, the regression coefficient of the quality of mother-child relationships and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs was 0.46, as well as the regression coefficient of the effect of satisfying basic psychological needs on cellphone addiction was 0.28. In addition, 17% of the variance of cellphone addiction was explained by the quality of mother-child relationships and 21% by the quality of mother-child relationships and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs. The indirect effect of the quality of mother-child relationships on cellphone addiction through the satisfaction of basic psychological needs was 0.13.

The present study contributed to the understanding of the possible mechanism of the relationship between mother-child relationships and cellphone addiction tendencies. Mediation analysis indicated that the satisfaction of psychological needs may be an explanatory factor for why negative mother-child relationships can cause the tendency to cellphone addiction in adolescents. Therefore, the satisfaction of basic psychological needs played a mediating role in the relationship between parent-child relationships and cell phone addiction.

It is very important to implement psychological treatments to reduce anxiety and addiction to mobile phone. The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of "Solution Focused Therapy" on anxiety and addiction to mobile phone in male students.

The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design of 2 months with a control group. The statistical population included all male students of the first secondary level of Borujerd city in the academic year of 2022-2023. Among them, 30 people were selected by the convenience non-random sampling method and were replaced in 2 intervention groups (15 people) and control (15 people) in a simple random way using lottery. The research instruments included demographic questionnaire, "Mobile Phone Addiction Questionnaire" and "Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale". Content validity of instruments was measured by qualitative method and reliability by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. After 8 sessions of "Solution Focused Therapy" for the intervention group, the data were analyzed in SPSS.22.

"Solution Focused Therapy” over time has been effective in reducing anxiety (P=0.01, F=99.86) and mobile phone addiction (P=0.01, F=216.13) in male students. 

“Solution Focused Therapy” was effective in reducing anxiety and addiction to mobile phones in male students. It is suggested that in order to reduce anxiety and mobile phone addiction, training courses on the above therapy should be held for students.

Increasingly, cyberbullying has become a common phenomenon eroding the social media environment. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the structural relationship pattern of cyber aggression based on self-control with the mediation of mobile phone addiction in adolescents.

In this descriptive study, the statistical population included male students of the second-level secondary school of Ardabil city in the academic year of 2022. From this population, a sample of 190 people was selected by available sampling method and answered the questionnaires of self-control, cyber aggression, and mobile phone addiction. The obtained data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

The results showed that self-control with a coefficient value of -0.15 has a significant direct effect on cyber aggression, and self-control with a coefficient value of -0.25 has a significant indirect effect on cyber aggression with the mediation of mobile phone addiction.

In general, according to the results of the current research, it is recommended to hold educational workshops to teach cyber ethics awareness, along with self-control training and managing the correct use of mobile phones.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the prediction of cell phone addiction based on metadiagnostic factors (emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs and uncertainty intolerance) and anxiety.

The research method is quantitative and correlational. The statistical population of the research was all male students of the second year of high school in Tehran in the academic year of 2019-2019, numbering 125,110 people. The sample size of 400 of these people was selected based on Klein's model (2016) and the available nonrandom sampling method and the Mobile Phone Addiction Questionnaire (MPAQ) Sawari (2013), the Emotional Dysregulation Scale (DERS) Gratz and Romer (2004), Metacognitive Belief Questionnaire (MCQ) by CartwrightHoughton and Wells (1997), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-27) by Friston et al. (1994) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) by Beck et al. (1988) answered . The data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression using SPSS version 24 software.

The results showed that there is a significant relationship between emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs, uncertainty intolerance and anxiety with cell phone addiction (P<0.01). Also, the results of multivariate regression analysis revealed that 72.4% of the variance of phone addiction is explained by metadiagnostic factors (emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs, and uncertainty intolerance) and anxiety.

The findings of this research show that emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs, intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety play an important role in predicting mobile phone addiction in second year high school male students.

Mobile phone dependency has become a global problem due to its high incidence, rapid growth rate, and serious adverse consequences. The aim of this study was to model the structural relationships of mobile phone addiction in male students based on negative excitement and boredom proneness with the mediating role of self-monitoring.

This study was a descriptive study, and the statistical population consisted of all male high school students studying in public schools in Ardabil in the academic year 1400. From this population, a sample of 170 people were selected by convenience sampling method, and answered the questionnaires of mobile phone addiction, boredom proneness, negative excitement, and self-monitoring. In order to analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used.

The results showed that negative excitement with a coefficient value of 0.38 and boredom proneness with a coefficient value of 0.27 directly have a significant effect on mobile phone addiction. Also, negative excitement with a coefficient value of 0.20 and boredom proneness with a coefficient value of 0.12 indirectly have a significant effect on mobile phone addiction with the mediation of self-monitoring (p<0.001).

According to the results of the present study, interventions related to boredom, negative excitement, and self-monitoring are recommended for training to facilitate valuable activities, manage negative emotions, and regularly practice self-monitoring.

Addictive use of mobile phones has profoundly altered human thinking habits and has also affected people's behavioral and psychosocial adjustment. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of spiritual health in the relationship between emotional intelligence and mobile phone addiction.

The method used in the present study is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all the high school students in Ardabil public schools in the academic year of 2019. Out of them, a sample of 250 students was randomly selected by multi-stage cluster sampling, who answered the questionnaires on cell phone addiction, emotional intelligence, and spiritual health. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and structural relationship modeling. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

The results of correlation coefficient showed that mobile phone addiction has a negative relationship with the total score of emotional intelligence and its components and with spiritual health. Spiritual health is also positively related to the overall score of emotional intelligence and the components of awareness and self-motivation. Model fit indices also confirmed the effect of emotional intelligence on mobile phone addiction mediated by spiritual health.

The findings reinforce the hypothesis that spiritual health can be a protective factor in adolescents and help them reduce the negative symptoms associated with Internet and smartphone use. The results of these findings can be used to prevent Internet-related psychological incompatibility and problematic use of smartphones in adolescents.

Mobile phone is among the modern communication technologies, i.e., a key element of individuals’ daily lives. However, despite its numerous benefits to humans, its sometimes–harmful use can present devastating effects. A negative consequence of excessive mobile phone use is Mobile Phone Addiction (MPA). MPA is a kind of addictive behavior; the lack of control in using this technology by students can harm various aspects of their personal and educational lives. There exists a large number of smartphone users globally. These devices provide influence and popularity among students due to their diverse attractiveness. Thus, it is necessary to study and manage the use of mobile phones among students to prevent its negative consequences. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of the dimensions of perfectionism and fear of failure on performance with MPA scores of high school students in public model schools.

This was a cross–sectional and correlational–descriptive study. The statistical population of this study included all public model students of the second period of high school in Meshginshahr City, Iran, in 2019. Of them, 200 subjects were selected as a sample by the random cluster sampling method. Accordingly, after obtaining the necessary permissions and identifying the target schools, the researchers considered two schools (one boys’ school & one girls' school). Next, one grade was selected from each school. Finally, among the students of each level of education, given the estimated sample size, the required students were randomly selected. To collect the required data, the Perfectionism Questionnaire (Terry–Short et al, 1995), the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (Conroy et al., 2002), and the Mobile Phone Addiction Questionnaire (Savari, 2014) were used. The inclusion criteria of the study were students of public model schools, mobile phone access, and providing consent to participate in research. The exclusion criteria of the study included withdrawing from the study, students without a mobile phone, and dropping out or being expelled from school during the study. To analyze the obtained data, descriptive statistics (mean & standard deviation), and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis were performed in SPSS version 21 software at the significance level of 0.05.

The current study findings indicated that positive perfectionism had a negative and significant relationship with MPA (p=0.007, r=– 0.191). However, the relationship between negative perfectionism and MPA was not significant (p=0/688, r=0.029). Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between fear of failure and MPA (p=0.011, r=0.180). Besides, the results of regression analysis revealed that only fear of failure (β=0.203; p=0.004) and positive perfectionism (β=–0.212, p=0.002) could predict the score of MPA.

Based on the collected findings, fear of failure in performance can increase the perceived pressure of students in public model schools; accordingly, it predisposes them to addictive behaviors, like MPA. Moreover, adopting rational perfectionist criteria, i.e., appropriate to students' abilities can reduce the odds of their tendency to avoid addictive behaviors by reducing their stress and tension.
