This study aimed to explore the elements related to the smart phone addiction of the university students in Chiayi County and Chiayi City. The data were analysed with the theory of reasoned action (TRA) proposed by Fishbein and the self-efficacy theory by Bandura. The research subjects were the university students enrolled in school year 2014 from both national and private universities in Chiayi County and Chiayi City. This research adopted stratified and cluster samplings, and obtained 431 valid samples. The major findings of this study were described as follows: 1. Subjects’ behavioural beliefs, outcome evaluation, and normative beliefs of the important others to use smart phones had significant differences depending on the extraneous variables; but there were no significant differences in subjects’ motivations to comply with the normative beliefs depending on the extraneous variables. 2. Subjects’ smart phone addiction had a significant difference depending on the extraneous variables, especially in year of college, self-perceived mental health, and time of using smart phone every day. 3. The multiplication outcome of subjects’ behavioural beliefs and outcome evaluation in using smart phone had a significant positive relation to the attitude of using smart phone; the multiplication outcome of the important others’ normative beliefs and subjects’ compliance motivations had a significant positive relation to the subjective norm of using smart phone. 4. The lower subjects’ self-efficacy in addiction cessation, the higher the tendency to the smart phone addiction. The more positive in attitude of using smart phone and in the important others’ normative beliefs to use smart phone, the higher the tendency to the smart phone addiction. 5. To predict a smart phone addiction from the extraneous variables “year of college,” “self-perceived mental health,” and “time of using smart phone everyday,” the total variance explained was 14.2%. When the important variables of TRA “attitude” and “subjective norm” were included, the total variance explained increases 5.4% to 19.6%. When the variable of self-efficacy in addiction cessation was included, the total variance explained increases 9.5% to 29.1%. A smartphone addiction was able to be effectively predicted from subjects’ extraneous variables,attitude in using smart phone, the important others’ normative beliefs in using smart phone, and self-efficacy in addiction cessation. |
