For the study, the team of psychologists conducted an online study with 640 smartphone users, aged between 13-69 years old, to find out the link between smartphone use and personality traits. The results showed that the people who are closed off or less open with their emotions are likely to have problems with smartphone use. As levels of anxiety increase, problematic smartphone use also increases, as per the findings.
