Can't put your phone down?
Smartphone overuse is one thing — feeling anxious without it, checking it dozens of times an hour, losing track of time scrolling. The Smartphone Addiction Scale - Short Version (SAS-SV) screens for the risk of smartphone addiction. It's a 10-item short form of the original 33-item SAS, developed by Kwon et al. (2013), designed mainly for adolescents but used across age groups.
