dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between smartphone addiction and happiness among university students with regard to various factors. The sample group of the study consisted of voluntary students studying at various faculties and departments of universities by using the appropriate sampling method. A total of 690 university students, 460 female (66.7%) and 230 male (33.3%), participated in the study. The Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Form (SPAS-SF)developed by Kwon et al. (2013) and adapted into Turkish and validated by Noyan et al. (2015) was used to measure the smartphone addiction levels of participants, and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Formdeveloped by Hills and Argyle (2002) and adapted into Turkish by Dogan and Cotok (2006) was used to identify the happiness level of participants. In data analysis, descriptive statistical methods such as percentage and frequency were used to identify the distribution of the personal information of participants, coefficients of kurtosis and skewness of the data were identified to see whether data showed normal distribution, and data were found to be fit for parametric test conditions. T-test and ANOVA tests were performed in addition to descriptive statistics methods, Tukey HSD Multiple Comparison Test was performed to identify from which groups the significant difference stems from and the correlation test to test the relationship between happiness level and smartphone addiction (alpha = 0.05). As a result, it was found that there was no significant relationship between happiness levels and smartphone addiction of participants by sex and age variables. However, a significant difference was found in smartphone use by school year variable and in happiness level by level of welfare. A positive significant relationship was found between the happiness levels of participants and smartphone addiction.en_US
