Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The number of smartphone users in Taiwan continues to increase exponentially. Smartphone addiction tends to not only disrupt the ability of social communication but cause physical and psychological problems as well. This study examined the relationship among skin conductance, electroencephalography, heart rate variability (HRV), social interaction anxiety and smartphone addiction among Line apps users, and we also tried to identify associated factors for further interventions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Interventional

Two experimental steps: baseline skin conductance measurements (step 1, three minutes) and measurements of SC after social media stimulation with Line messages or calls (step 2, three minutes). With a 5-minute rest period after these two steps completed, then each participant fill out questionnaires for assessing anxiety and problematic smartphone use.
