Due to their ubiquity, compulsive mobile phone use (CMPU) should include cognitive, psychological, and behavioral dimensions. This study has two main objectives—(a) explicate a multidimensional measure of CMPU and examine individual differences in the various dimensions and (b) conceptualize mobile phone self-efficacy and examine its relationship with CMPU. A survey with 446 U.S. adults was conducted in which respondents completed assessments related to CMPU, mobile phone self-efficacy, and mobile phone use frequency. Results showed the presence of a three-dimensional factor structure for CMPU. While gender, age, and mobile phone activity were associated with CMPU, mobile phone self-efficacy was not. The relevance of the findings is discussed along with implications for future research.

强迫手机使用的多维测量中的个体差异

由于无处不在，强迫性手机使用 (CMPU) 应包括认知、心理和行为维度。本研究有两个主要目标——(a) 阐明 CMPU 的多维测量并检查各个维度的个体差异；(b) 概念化手机自我效能并检查其与 CMPU 的关系。对 446 名美国成年人进行了一项调查，受访者完成了与 CMPU、手机自我效能和手机使用频率相关的评估。结果表明 CMPU 存在三维因子结构。虽然性别、年龄和手机活动与 CMPU 相关，但手机自我效能与此无关。讨论了研究结果的相关性以及对未来研究的影响。
