“Effect of Mobile Addiction on Quality of Life and Self-Confidence among Nashik City College Students”

Abstract This study examines the impact of mobile addiction on the quality of life and self confidence among college students in Nashik City, Maharashtra. A total of 50 highly mobile-addicted and 50 low mobile-addicted students were selected using stratified random sampling and screened through the Mobile Addiction Scale (MAS). The Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) and the Self-Confidence Inventory (SCI) were used to measure the dependent variables. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and data were analyzed using SPSS. Independent samples t-tests revealed significant differences between the two groups. High mobile-addicted students reported significantly lower quality of life (M = 69.82, SD = 5.67) compared to low mobile-addicted students (M = 81.67, SD = 5.31), t(98) = 10.78, p < .01. Similarly, self-confidence scores were significantly lower among highly addicted students (M = 33.10, SD = 4.77) than among low-addicted peers (M = 41.59, SD = 5.01), t(98) = 8.67, p < .01. These findings support the hypotheses that mobile addiction adversely affects both life satisfaction and self-perception. The results are consistent with earlier research indicating that excessive smart phone usage is associated with diminished psychological well-being and reduced self-efficacy. This study underscores the need for awareness and intervention programs aimed at managing mobile addiction among students, with a view to enhancing their overall well-being and academic performance.
Keywords Mobile addiction, quality of life, self-confidence, college students, psychological well-being, behavioral addiction, smart phone use, mental health.
