TI  - THE RELATIONS BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ INTERNET ADDICTION AND SMART PHONE USAGE HABITS
AB  - A correlational research study was conducted to determine university students’ Internet addiction levels and how it is associated to the students’ daily smartphone usage. The participants of the study involved 298 university students in a state university in Istanbul, Turkey. The study results indicated that most of the participant students (43%) belong to the non-addicted group, while 26.8% of the students were addicted to the Internet and 30% of them were risky students, who have a potential to be addicted to the Internet. The results indicated that the university students’ Internet addiction scores significantly differed with respect to the frequency of their daily mobile phone checking and gender, as male students have higher Internet addiction scores than females. Furthermore, there were positive correlations between university students’ Internet addiction scores and their daily smartphone usage in hours. The results of the study would provide some advices for governmental organizations about how to deal with both problems by taking some preventive and corrective actions.
