Faktor psikologis, seperti kecemasan dan depresi, memiliki peran penting pada berbagai kasus adiksi, namun pada adiksi ponsel cerdas variabel ini perlu ditinjau kembali. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji apakah faktor psikologis depresi dan kecemasan memiliki peranan terhadap adiksi ponsel cerdas. Partisipan direkrut menggunakan teknik snowball non-probability purposive sampling, sebanyak 154 siswa dari Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa depresi dan kecemasan memprediksi adiksi ponsel secara simultan (R² = .225, F = 21.858, p = .000). Namun demikian, secara parsial tidak ditemukan adanya peranan depresi terhadap adiksi ponsel cerdas (p>0,05), sementara kecemasan ditemukan berperan secara signifikan (p<0,05). Temuan ini mengindikasikan pentingnya peran variabel kecemasan pada masalah adiksi ponsel cerdas.

Participants were recruited using a non-probability purposive sampling, snowball technique. A total of 154 students from the Special Region of Yogyakarta participated in this study. The results showed that depression and anxiety predicted smartphone addiction simultaneously (R² = .225, F = 21.858, p = .000).
