Showing data makes my research valid because it shows that I am not the only one who thought about the relationship between these two factors. For example: each 100 minutes spent using the device on average per day reduced a student's position in the school’s ranking by 6.3 points. (Felisoni et al)

Thesis: Daily usage of smartphones decrease overall student's health

The environment in which students study, such as a quiet, distraction-free space with a desk to promote focus, significantly affects their grades. Similarly, a student's background can impact academic performance. Additionally, a student's health is crucial to their academic achievements, much like their study environment. The use of phones is closely related to students' health and, consequently, their academic performance.

Physical Health

Mental Health

Low life quality brings low academic performance

cvimutti — 2024-05-18 05:50:58 UTC

My analysis is that all the factors presented contribute to an overall decrease in the life quality of undergraduate students. A body that is overall not healthy does not provide the right means and support for a student to succeed in an academic environment.

How are undergraduate students' grades during an academic term affected by the impact of daily smartphone usage on their physical and mental health?

When mobile phone addiction level increases in the students, their sleep quality deteriorates.(Sahin et al)

Smartphone forces an individual to look at their phone’s small monitor and perform repetitive movements in an awkward posture for a prolonged duration, which can cause musculoskeletal disorders. In this study was observed that 44.05% of students reported musculoskeletal pain (Walankar et al)

Research provides data suggesting that in comparison to low-frequency smartphone users, high-frequency users are more likely to forgo opportunities for physically active pursuits in order to use their cell phones. (Lepp et al)

Self-control is related to using the phone during inopportune times and circumstances (at bedtime and during the night, in the classroom, and while studying). Therefore, people with less self control are more likely to use the phone at inopportune times. (Li)

Study stated that cellphone usage and anxiety turn into a vicious cycle. The higher the smartphone addiction, the higher the level of anxiety, and the higher the level of anxiety, the more increases cell phone over use. (Hashemi et al)

The university students, whose depression point is high and sleep quality is poor, should be followed up with regarding the smart phone addiction. (Kaya et al)

Poor impulse control would result in uncontrollable urges and excessive mobile phone use; therefore, a variety of activities instantly available on mobile phones could relieve impulsive people's boredom or frustrations resulting from an inability to concentrate while accomplishing tasks. (Li)
