Phone Dependence Assessment | In the Digital Age, Have You Already 'Lost Control'?
1. What Is Phone Dependence?
Phone dependence (Nomophobia) refers to a state of excessive indulgence, even loss of control, toward smartphones and the digital world behind them. It is not only a drain on time but also a psychological shackle: when your phone is out of sight, you feel anxious, empty, or disconnected from the world.
2. Which Signs Indicate 'Losing Control'?
- Phantom vibration: always feeling that your phone is ringing or vibrating even when it is not.
- Sleep deprivation: frequently cutting into necessary sleep time in order to scroll short videos or reply to messages.
- Social downgrade: during face-to-face gatherings, being more inclined to communicate through your phone.
- Emotional compensation: when encountering stress in reality, retreating into the digital world to escape at the first opportunity.
3. The Four Dimensions of the Scientific Assessment
This assessment refers to the Internet Addiction Diagnostic Scale and the Smartphone Addiction Scale, with a total of 15 items:
- Digital withdrawal reaction: the degree of your emotional fluctuation when you cannot use your phone.
- Cognitive function interference: the actual impact of your phone on your depth of attention and work efficiency.
- Social path preference: whether you rely more on likes behind the screen or handshakes in reality.
- Physiological tolerance: whether you need increasingly longer screen time to feel satisfied.
4. Scoring and Privacy
Please answer according to how you have genuinely felt over the past month. Each item is scored 1-5. The score is intended to help you establish healthier digital boundaries, not to serve as a medical diagnosis.
