UNSWのエリック・リム博士は、スマートフォンアプリの中毒が引き起こす人体への悪影響について警告を発しました。リム氏は、スマートフォン中毒が睡眠不足につながる可能性があると述べ、同氏が複数の国際的な共著者とともに行った研究により、モバイルアプリケーションの利用がユーザーの健康状態に悪影響を及ぼすことが明らかになりました。
研究者らは、携帯電話がない状態での恐怖や不安であるノモフォビアと睡眠不足の間に正の相関があることを発見し、いずれも健康に悪影響を及ぼすことが判明しました。
リム氏は、健康を確保するために、注意力散漫よりも質の高い睡眠を優先することを推奨しています。

Abstract

Numerous studies have documented adverse consequences arising from increased technology usage and advocated for a reduction in such usage as a plausible remedy. However, such recommendations are often infeasible and oversimplistic given mounting evidence attesting to users’ growing reliance on technology in both their personal and professional lives. Building on conservation of resources (COR) theory, we construct a research model to explain how mobile application usage, as delineated by its breadth and depth, affects users’ nomophobia and sleep deprivation, which can have negative impacts on users’ health status. We also consider the moderating influence of physical activity in mitigating the effects of mobile application usage on users’ health. We validated our hypotheses via data collected by surveying 5,842 respondents. Empirical findings reveal that (1) nomophobia is positively influenced by mobile application usage breadth but negatively influenced by mobile application usage depth, (2) sleep deprivation is negatively influenced by mobile application usage breadth but positively influenced by mobile application usage depth, and (3) sleep deprivation and nomophobia negatively impact users’ health status, whereas (4) physical activity attenuates the impact of mobile application usage on sleep deprivation but not nomophobia. The findings from this study not only enrich the extant literature on the health outcomes of mobile application usage by unveiling the impact of mobile application usage patterns and physical activity on users’ health but they also inform practitioners on how calibrating usage breadth and depth, along with encouraging physical activity, can promote healthy habits among users.
