Keyword: Personality Traits

Abstract: The study tests whether problematic smartphone use (PSU) increases aggression and impulsivity. The results show that PSU has an impact on all types of aggression. High PSU and higher usage times increase anger and hostility.  A mediation analysis showed that impulsivity partially mediates the effect of aggression on PSU.
