Abstract

Studies showed that habitualization of smartphone use may result in a compulsive usage. Resolutions to reduce overuse also known as a ‘digital detox’ are an emerging trend. Previous studies analyzing the effects of a short voluntary smartphone separation focused on anxiety and ‘Fear of Missing Out’ (FoMO) and revealed positive correlations between the separation of the smartphone and these factors. First studies have started to widen the perspective and analyze three weeks of separation. A considerably long-term ‘smartphone detox’ has not been studied, yet. To close the gap, our study aimed to analyze a list of factors, which were shown to be associated with problematic smartphone usage (frequency of usage, age, FoMO, Nomophobia), regarding their impact on participants’ (N = 120) willingness to limit one’s smartphone usage for the six-week-period of the Christian Lent. Results showed a significant relation between frequency of smartphone usage, FoMO, Nomophobia and the willingness to abstain from one’s smartphone for six weeks. Overall, this study serves as an initial research on the underlying psychological effects of smartphone usage and a long-term ‘digital detox’.
