Based on the recent scientific literature on the social ecology of smartphone addiction, we have examined the empirical relationship between social digital pressure (SDP) and smartphone addiction by also looking at the influence of users’ personalities, psychological distress, social support, and residential social living conditions on this addiction. The analyses were carried out on a nationally representative sample of 2,820 Spanish smartphone users. The results of the causal and multigroup models (structural equation model) indicated that the SDP was positively related to smartphone addiction. This influence was also independent of the effects on smartphone addiction of some personality traits (mainly low conscientiousness), high depression, low social support, and high social disorder in the neighborhood. SDP also showed an important mediating effect mainly for social factors (social support and social disorder in the neighborhood). SDP may be a relevant variable for understanding the potential risk of smartphone addiction in cases where there is a high need for social connection.

基于有关智能手机成瘾的社会生态学的最新科学文献，我们还通过研究用户个性，心理困扰，社会支持和居民社交的影响，研究了社交数字压力（SDP）与智能手机成瘾之间的经验关系。这种成瘾的生活条件。分析是对2,820名西班牙智能手机用户的全国代表性样本进行的。因果模型和多组模型（结构方程模型）的结果表明，SDP与智能手机成瘾呈正相关。这种影响也独立于某些个性特征（主要是尽责程度），高抑郁症，低社会支持和邻里社会混乱对智能手机成瘾的影响。SDP还表现出重要的中介作用，主要是对社会因素（邻里的社会支持和社会混乱）的影响。在需要高度社交联系的情况下，SDP可能是一个相关变量，用于了解智能手机成瘾的潜在风险。
