Frequently Asked Questions

Is phone addiction a real disorder?
"Smartphone addiction" is NOT in DSM-5/ICD-11 as a formal disorder, but problematic smartphone use is well-documented (Billieux 2015 review). It overlaps with internet addiction, behavioral addiction, and gaming disorder. SAS-SV measures behavioral patterns, not formal addiction.
How accurate is SAS-SV?
Kwon et al. (2013) developed SAS-SV with sample of 540 adolescents. Cronbach α = 0.91 (high reliability). Cutoffs (≥31 boys / ≥33 girls) showed sensitivity 86% / specificity 89%. Adult cutoffs vary by study (often used: ≥31 unisex). Korean original; widely translated and validated.
I scored high — now what?
Stepwise: (1) Track screen time (Apple Screen Time / Android Digital Wellbeing). (2) Identify trigger apps (TikTok / Insta / X are heaviest). (3) Set limits in OS (most apps: 30 min/day). (4) Greyscale phone (kills dopamine appeal). (5) Phone bedroom-ban + alarm-clock. (6) If unable to self-regulate after 4 weeks: therapist (CBT for behavioral addictions).
