Researchers have argued that depression, anxiety, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/social-sciences\/self-regulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-regulation<\/a>&nbsp;may be risk factors or outcomes of problematic cell phone use, but there are few&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/psychology\/longitudinal-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">longitudinal studies<\/a>&nbsp;on problematic cell phone use, making it unclear if these behaviors are predictors or outcomes of problematic cell phone use. The current study examined these factors during&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/computer-science\/late-adolescence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">late adolescence<\/a>&nbsp;and the transition to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/computer-science\/emerging-adulthood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emerging adulthood<\/a>. Participants included 385 individuals between the ages of 17 and 19 who completed a series of questionnaires once a year over a three year period. Problematic cell phone use, anxiety, depression, and self-regulation were all moderately associated at the cross-sectional level. Early problematic cell phone use predicted later depression when these variables were examined longitudinally, as opposed to the converse. There were no longitudinal associations between problematic cell phone use and anxiety or self-regulation. In sum, problematic cell phone use was fairly stable across the transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood and was associated with depression in the future.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0747563219300664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0747563219300664<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3-year longitudinal study from adolescence to emerging adulthoodCoyne SM, Stockdale L, Summers K.
