Exploring the relationship between smartphone usage and reward deficiency syndrome
Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between smartphone usage and Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) while also exploring associations with problematic eating and alcohol consumption habits. The study hypothesizes that higher smartphone use will correlate with higher RDS and that strong positive relationships exist between smartphone usage and both problematic eating and alcohol consumption habits. Data were collected via an online survey encompassing the Reward Deficiency Syndrome Questionnaire (RDSQ-29), the Hedonic Overeating Questionnaire (HEDO-Q), the CAGE-AID Questionnaire, and the Smartphone Addiction Scale Questionnaire (SAS-SV), alongside with questions about the frequency of multiple addiction use. From an initial pool of 143 non-clinical participants from the general population, 61 were excluded due to incomplete survey responses, resulting in a final sample size of 82 participants included for data analysis. The results indicate a statistically significant positive correlation (Pearson's r = 0.656, p < 0.001) between smartphone addiction, as measured by the SAS-SV, and RDS. Furthermore, a significant association was found between the frequency of smartphone checking and the RDSQ trait (p = 0.044), underscoring the link between habitual smartphone usage patterns and the manifestation of RDS. These findings indicate to a compelling link between smartphone use and RDS, stressing the significance of more study into understanding and treating behavioral dysregulation in the context of digital technology use.
