摘要
The present study explored smartphone addiction (SA) and cyberbullying among a group of university students. Participants were 449 male and female university students whose ages ranged from 17 to 24 years. A scale probing SA and cyberbullying was used to collect data. The frequency of SA among participants was 33.2. In terms of the daily usage of smartphones, 67.3 participants were found to use smartphones for more than 4 h per day. The frequency of cyberbullying reported by participants was 20.7. Furthermore, significant differences between males and females in SA and cyberbullying were found favoring males. Finally, data revealed that cyberbullying can be predicted by university students’ SA.
