Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will continue to be removed and our normal comment rules still apply to other comments.

In particular, by manipulating the semantic constraints, we found that the SAT [smartphone addiction tendency] individuals exhibited reduced cortical activations and functional connectivities in the PFC and temporal cortex, making it difficult to overcome semantic constraints and establish original associations during creative idea generation. This finding has positive implications for revealing the deleterious effects of smartphone addiction on individuals’ advanced cognitive abilities.

"Looks like I'm in the clear" - I think to myself, after reading the 100th post on reddit of the day on my laptop

Seriously though, is there anything specific about smartphone compared to other Internet accessing devices? Or it's just that the paper did not attempt to include other devices?

> Participants.

> A total of 503 students (age = 18–25 years) from Shaanxi Normal University were screened with the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS; Kwon et al., 2013). In line with prior studies (Horvath et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2021), students with SAS scores in the upper 27% of the total distribution were classified as the SAT group, and students with SAS scores in the lower 27% of the total distribution were classified as the HC group. We invited students who met these criteria to participate in this experiment, and 48 of them responded to the invitation. Finally, 24 students (16 females and 8 males) were recruited into the SAT group, and 24 students (15 females and 9 males) were recruited into the HC group.

While interesting do folks with brains not fully developed representative of other cohorts.

> Participants were given the following questionnaires: Raven’s Progressive Matrices test (Raven and Court, 1938), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State scale (Spielberger, 1983) and the Beck Depression Scale-II (Beck et al., 1996). There was a significant difference between the SAT and HC groups in the SAS score, t (46) = 25.95, P < 0.001 (Table 1). A significant group difference in anxiety state score was also observed, t (46) = 2.63, P = 0.015.

People seem to think that first you get depressed (as if it was a virus you catch) and then you start to practice unhealthy lifestyle choises, when it's almost always the exact opposite. Major stress (work, school, etc.), unhealthy eating habits, no exercise, constant phone scrolling, etc. and boom, you'll be depressed in no time.

And I'm not blaming the individual here, it's super hard to avoid all of these land mines the modern world has placed in front of us.

Very interesting, thanks.
