Summary: Growing research indicates that problematic Internet use (PIU) and excessive smartphone use (ESU) are linked to dysfunction in brain networks. However, the impact of PIU&ESU on emotional face expression (EFE) recognition remains unclear, although studies have shown impairment of this function in various addiction forms. This study used a Facial Emotion Recognition Paradigm to investigate cortico-limbic responses during EFE recognition. Results revealed positive associations between the extent of PIU&ESU and functional connections in emotional cognitive control and social brain networks. These findings highlight the role of social functioning, particularly EFE recognition, in PIU&ESU pathogenesis.

Summary: The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between smartphone addiction and well-being, considering the mediating and moderating effects. A survey of 236 smartphone users was conducted to test the research model. The results of the structural equation modeling analysis show that smartphone addiction has a negative impact on well-being by depleting energy, leading to strain. The negative effect of smartphone addiction on well-being is found to be more pronounced when smartphones are used for hedonic purposes. Through the lens of the conservation of resources theory, this study provides insights into the mechanism by which smartphone addiction reduces well-being and identifies a relevant contextual factor (hedonic use) that exacerbates this impact.
