Prediction of Mobile Phone Addiction Based on Metadiagnostic Factors (Emotional Dysregulation, Metacognitive Beliefs and Uncertainty Intolerance) and Anxiety
The purpose of this research was to investigate the prediction of cell phone addiction based on metadiagnostic factors (emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs and uncertainty intolerance) and anxiety.
The research method is quantitative and correlational. The statistical population of the research was all male students of the second year of high school in Tehran in the academic year of 2019-2019, numbering 125,110 people. The sample size of 400 of these people was selected based on Klein's model (2016) and the available non-random sampling method and the Mobile Phone Addiction Questionnaire (MPAQ) Sawari (2013), the Emotional Dysregulation Scale (DERS) Gratz and Romer (2004), Metacognitive Belief Questionnaire (MCQ) by Cartwright-Houghton and Wells (1997), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-27) by Friston et al. (1994) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) by Beck et al. (1988) answered . The data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression using SPSS version 24 software.
The results showed that there is a significant relationship between emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs, uncertainty intolerance and anxiety with cell phone addiction (P<0.01). Also, the results of multivariate regression analysis revealed that 72.4% of the variance of phone addiction is explained by metadiagnostic factors (emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs, and uncertainty intolerance) and anxiety.
The findings of this research show that emotional dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs, intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety play an important role in predicting mobile phone addiction in second year high school male students.
