A Comparative Analysis on Smartphone Usage: Apple Retail Employees vs. College Students
Abstract: Smartphone usage is continually on the rise amongst individuals around the world. The current study explored smartphone usage within two high risk groups, namely college students and employees of Apple Inc. retail. Ten participants from each group downloaded the app Realizd on their smartphones and allowed it to record the number of hours spent on the phone and the number of times their phones were unlocked per day. After six days participants submitted their data, though with a high attrition rate, only 4 participants from each group remained. T-tests revealed that while college students and Apple Inc. employees did not show significant differences in their hours per day, the college students unlocked their phones significantly more. These elevated levels of smartphone usage suggest that closer attention should be paid to individuals amongst these groups to identify the risk of and subsequently prevent smartphone addiction. The ways in which these groups use their smartphones should be evaluated to explain the discrepancy in number of times unlocked per day.
