Abstract Abstract:-
Aim: The main aim of this study was to examine patterns of recreational mobile phone use across different age groups and evaluate the possibility of mobile phone addiction, known as Problematic Mobile Phone Use (PMPU) (chatgpt).
Methods: The study was conducted as an online survey, with the help of google forms. It consisted of 106 participants aged 13 to 59+. Of these, the majority (61.3%) were females. Data was collected on the time participants spent on their phones, the most frequently used apps, and when the participants received their first mobile phone.
Results: The largest group of participants (50.9%) were from 23-29 age category, with (67.9%) reporting spending more time on their phones than intended. Social media apps (83%) and YouTube (60.4%) were the most commonly used apps, with an average of 3-4 hours per day. Despite excessive use, (53.8%) of participants reported not taking any steps to reduce their screen time.
Conclusion: This study reveals that many participants do not recognize the signs of problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) and highlights the need to spread more awareness regarding it among the general population.
