Abstract
Smartphones are excellent connection tools that can join family members, continents apart, over a chat or birthday, but can hinder the communication between people in the same room. The different reactions to smartphones can be due to personal, cultural, economic or a combination of multiple factors with variable impacts. Several studies analysed the effects of smartphones on mental health as well as well-being. The limitation of most of these studies falls in the selected sample where all the respondents are assumed to belong to a coherent society/region. In this work, we categorise each respondent, based on his/her location, into urban, suburban or rural. The purpose of this study is to show that the relation between smartphone addiction and all the other factors varies with respect to the region or location.
期刊介绍：
IJEED primarily publishes papers promoting advancement of education economics at all levels. It fills the gap in our understanding of the links between education and the development of individuals, societies and economies. IJEED is particularly interested in international comparisons and detailed studies of educational institutions and outcomes in developing economies. The latter is what distinguishes the journal from other journals whose focus is education economics more generally. Theoretical and empirical analyses at both micro and macro levels receive equal attention. Topics covered include: -Formal and informal education/training; role of voluntary organisations -Economic education and teaching of economics -Higher education: responsiveness to demands of society -Supply of education; education quality, measurement and issues -Teacher/instructor training and quality; dealing with bullying at schools -Access to education; education costs; public vs. private financing -Private school/higher education: private entrepreneurship''s role -Enrolment/drop-out rates, completion rates, and gender imbalance -Returns to education and labour market outcomes -Apprenticeships, training, skills upgrading; implementation, outcomes -Regional, rural/urban, and ethnic disparities in provision of education -Incentives, education delivery and outcomes -Education, health and happiness -International flows of human capital and brain drain -Any other relevant topic
