The scale developed by Kwon and ark., (2013) has been used to measure the risk of telephone addiction in order to determine the levels of smartphone addiction in participants. In the analysis of the data obtained in the study, identifying statistical methods such as percentage and frequency, in order to determine the distribution of the personal information of the participants, and in order to determine whether the data show normal distribution or not, the normality test of Kolmogorov Smirnov has controlled the values of data confusion and confusion. In the statistical analysis of data, the Independent Samples T-Test in binary comparisons, and OneWayAnova analysis in multiple comparisons were used.
