Abstract :The objective of this study is to examine the impact of various variables on the problematic use of mobile phones among secondary school students and the approaches of students to studying. The data were collected through three instruments: (1) Personal Information Form, (2) Problematic Use of Mobile Phones Scale, and (3) Study Process Questionnaire. Following the acquisition of the requisite permissions, these instruments were administered to students from two public schools. The findings of the study indicate that gender, grade level, daily internet use, mobile phone purpose, and ownership significantly affect problematic phone use. Female students exhibited a higher prevalence of problematic mobile phone use, primarily for social media and music, while male students predominantly used mobile phones for gaming. The study also found that higher grade levels and increased daily Internet use contribute to problematic phone use. A notable finding is that students who adopt a surface study approach exhibit a higher incidence of problematic phone use, while those who adopt a deep study approach demonstrate a lower frequency of such use.Keywords : Problematic use of mobile phones, approaches to studying, social studies, secondary school students
