WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) Test

cyberpsychology computer addiction

Concerns about excessive smartphone use may include compulsive checking, difficulty limiting use, and distress when access is restricted. The Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) is a self-report measure intended to screen for problematic patterns of smartphone use and associated functional impact.

The instrument consists of 33 items and typically requires about 7 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements describing behaviors and emotional responses related to smartphone use, supporting a structured estimate of symptom severity for clinical or research purposes. It was developed by C. S. Young and M. D. Griffiths.

In practice, the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) may be used to identify individuals who could benefit from further assessment, to inform treatment planning, or to monitor change over time when administered at multiple points.
