Academic Entitlement Predicts Smartphone Usage during Class
Reysen, Rebekah; Reysen, Matthew; Reysen, Stephen
College Teaching, v69 n1 p52-57 2021
In the present study, we examined the relationship between academic entitlement, nomophobia, and cellular phone usage during class. Students reported the amount of time spent on their phones during class, frequency of checking phones during class, academic entitlement, and dimensions of nomophobia (cell phone addiction). Academic entitlement and some dimensions of nomophobia were positively correlated with cellular phone usage. However, only academic entitlement uniquely predicted phone usage during class above and beyond nomophobia. The results suggest that academic entitlement is a uniquely important factor in predicting cellular phone use during class.
