Abstract
Smartphone addiction can stem from excessive smartphone use when people find quitting or controlling their behaviour difficult. Improper and excessive use of connected personal devices and popular apps can lead to dependence on the smartphone. This study investigated the relationship between personality traits and smartphone addiction among college students and its adverse effects. The results showed that business students (B.Com) used smartphones more frequently than arts and sciences students. No significant differences were found in smartphone addiction based on gender, birth order, area of living or family structure. The personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness were not significantly related to each other or affected by smartphone addiction. Keywords: Personality, Smartphone addiction, Gender
