Abstract

Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate childhood injuries and social cognition with smartphone addiction with the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in college students. Method: The research was conducted by the correlational method of structural equation modeling, and the statistical population of this research included all students of Imam Khomeini International University (RA) in the academic year of 2022-2023, 240 of them using multi-stage cluster sampling method as The sample was considered, of which 19 questionnaires were excluded from the statistical analysis due to incompleteness And finally, 221 people were included in the study. The research tools were the CTQ Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Cohen's Eye Mind Reading Questionnaire, SAS Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire, and the short form of Young's Early Maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings: Based on the results of Sobel's statistic, the effect of childhood trauma and social cognition due to early maladaptive schemas on smartphone addiction was significant at (p<0.05) level, and The coefficient of determination of smartphone addiction variable in the modified model is 0.46, which shows that exogenous and mediating variables can predict 46% of changes in smartphone addiction.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the research, childhood traumas, and social cognition can play an influential role in the occurrence of smartphone addiction.
