Abstract

Since many years there is an augmentation in researches about smartphone usage, addiction of smartphone and how smartphone addiction affects the health of users. The smartphone was also used as an aid to learning, but recently it turns out to be contributing negative effects on learning outcomes. This study inquires about the smartphone addiction of international students of Northeast Normal University (NENU). These students come from different nationalities with varied disciplines possessing distinctive attitutes. This research investigates about the differences of smartphone addiction between male and female (gender) students by using the independent sample t-test with unequal sample size. It also explores the differences of smartphone addiction (SA) and subjective wellbeing (SWB) between different age groups using the ANOVA. Correlation and Regression is calculated to find the relationship and impact of two variables (SA and SWB) on each other. The age group 1 has more SA and lower SWB, while there is little difference found with different genders.
