Abstract [English]

Many researchers have concentrated on Smartphone usage and addiction as a result of the rise in Smartphone’s and technological improvements. Nonetheless, the goal of the current study is to provide some insight into how young adult Smartphone users in India relate to depression, anxiety, stress, and Smartphone addiction. To comprehend this association, purposive sample methods were combined with Spearman rho Correlation. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) by Lovibond & Lovibond (1995) and the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) by Known et al. (2013) were among the scales used. The sample was made up of 101 Jammu, UT, residents (52 men and 49 women) who were under the age range of 18-24 and had been frequent Smartphone users for at least the previous six months. The study& conclusions supported the hypothesis, which found a strong positive correlation between the variables.
