Abstract
Smartphone addiction has become a growing concern worldwide, with potential implications for psychological well-being. This meta-analysis of longitudinal studies examines the impact of smartphone addiction on various indicators of psychological well-being over time. Drawing from a comprehensive review of the literature, the meta-analysis synthesizes effect sizes from longitudinal studies that assess the relationship between smartphone addiction and psychological outcomes, including depression, anxiety, stress, and overall life satisfaction. Additionally, it explores potential moderators of this relationship, such as age, gender, and duration of smartphone use, to better understand the complex interplay between smartphone addiction and psychological well-being.
