dc.description.abstractObjective: The smartphone addiction has gained attention in recent years with the increase development in technology. People use smartphones for several purposes but this also result in pathological behavioral, emotional and cognitive problems. Aim of current study is to reveal the associations among smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness by using structural equation modelling. Method: Participants of study consists of 312 university students. In data collection process, Smartphone Addiction Inventory Short Form-, Oxford Happiness Scale and General Belongingness Scale were used. In data analysis correlation analysis and structural equation modelling were used to reveal the associations among smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness levels of participants. Results: Results of study revealed a negative significant correlation between smartphone addiction and hapiness levels of participants. Moreover a positive significant correlation was found between smartphone addiction and rejection -the dimension of general belongingness-, whereas no significant correlation was found smartphone addiction and acceptance -the dimension of general belongingness-. Happiness levels of participants were found to be positively and significantly correlated with acceptance and negatively correlated with rejection. Path analysis showed that general belongingness predicted smartphone addiction in a positive way. General belongingness also predicted happiness directly and smartphone addiction negatively predicted happiness. Discussion: In sum, smartphone addiction was significantly correlated with both happiness and general belongingness levels of participants. Moreover, a structural equation model among the smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness revealed an acceptable fit indexes. Lastly, findings were discussed and suggestions were given in line with the theorotical background and literature.en_US
