Smartphone addiction has been proposed as a candidate psychiatric disorder characterised by disordered, problematic, uncontrolled use of one?s phone or the content on it. There is now a literature of several thousand papers exploring the risks and consequences associated with smartphone addiction. This has led to calls for intervention in the media worldwide, including restrictions and bans on digital media. However, there are fundamental concerns about smartphone addiction and how it is defined, researched, and studied, which necessitates a pause for thought. This book explores several of these concerns: conceptualisation, measurement, methodology, and treatment, each requiring a comprehensive, integrated investigation. This multi-lens examination of the issues with smartphone addiction enables us to draw wide-reaching conclusions about the state of smartphone addiction and how these issues can be addressed. This is especially important in light of critical problems that are prevalent in behavioural sciences, such as concerns about the quality of measurement, the replication crisis, and the growing open science movement. Richard James is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Nottingham, UK. His research has focused on gambling and other behavioural addictions, particularly when mediated by technology use (e.g. smartphone addiction, mobile gambling, gambling advertising on social media). Lucy Hitcham is an EPSRC funded PhD student at the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Nottingham, UK. Her PhD project is looking at the role of responsible research and innovation in digital mental health intervention development. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Cyberpsychology,$x2946-2762 606 $aPsychology 606 $aMass media 606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aDigital media 606 $aInterpersonal communication 606 $aRehabilitation 606 $aMentally ill$xRehabilitation 606 $aCyberpsychology 606 $aClinical Psychology 606 $aDigital and New Media 606 $aCommunication Psychology 606 $aRehabilitation Psychology 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aMass media. 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 0$aDigital media. 615 0$aInterpersonal communication. 615 0$aRehabilitation. 615 0$aMentally ill$xRehabilitation. 615 14$aCyberpsychology. 615 24$aClinical Psychology. 615 24$aDigital and New Media. 615 24$aCommunication Psychology. 615 24$aRehabilitation Psychology. 676 $a616.8584 700 $aJames$b Richard$0736467 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911061851603321 996 $aCritical Perspectives on Smartphone Addiction$94541217 997 $aUNINA
