摘要：
Today, smartphones have become so popular that almost every adolescent in Taiwan has one or more in their hands. There is no doubt that smartphones have brought people great convenience; however, it leads to one serious problem: smartphone addiction which is so scarcely researched but awaits our immediate attention (Goswami & Singh, 2016). The aim of this study is therefore to examine college students' smartphone addictive behavior at a national university of science and technology in central Taiwan. A total of 250 students were recruited from various departments of the university to fill out a questionnaire designed to investigate how the participants used their smartphonesin the daily life. It was found that more than half of the students admitted that they felt they were already addicted to smartphones. They reflected that the first thing they often did in the morning was using smartphones (53%, M=3.44) and would keep using even when they got so tired in bed at night (51%, M=3.42). The students even felt apprehension fearing that they could not keep up with others if they did not bring smartphones with them (53%, M=3.51). Many students often indulged in their phones to connect with their virtual community on the Internet (71%, M=3.84). Nonetheless, a good number of students took great advantage of smartphones to deal with emergency (86%, M=4.24), connect with relatives or friends (85%, M=4.13), search for information (71%, M=3.86), read documents (64%, M=3.73), take notes (60%, M=3.57), and self learn (54%, M=3.53). Education officials and lawmakers in Taiwan should be cautious about the serious matter of smartphone addiction to implement proper laws or rules that help to regulate our youngsters' inappropriate use of smartphones in public occasions and educational events.
