Psychological Factors and Alcohol Use in Problematic Mobile Phone Use in the Spanish Population.v Front Psychiatry. 2017; Feb 3;8:11.http://hdl.handle.net/10668/2684This research aims to study the existing relationships among the factors of state anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and alcohol consumption regarding problematic mobile phone use, as assessed by the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale. The study was conducted among 1,126 participants recruited among the general Spanish population, aged 16-65 years, by assessing the predictive value of these variables regarding this problematic use. Initially tobacco use was also considered being subsequently refused because of the low internal consistency of the scale used. In general terms, the results show that this problematic use is mainly related to state anxiety and impulsivity, through the dimensions of Positive and Negative Urgency. Considering its predictive value, multiple regression analysis reveals that state anxiety, positive and negative urgency, and alcohol consumption may predict problematic mobile phone use, ruling out the influence of depression.enMobile phone addictionProblematic mobile phone useMobile phone useMobile phone overuseFactors in mobile phone addictionAlcoholTobaccoConsumo de bebidas alcohólicasAnsiedadDepresiónTrastorno depresivoHumanosConducta impulsivaAnálisis de regresiónUso de tabacoMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Behavior::Drinking Behavior::Alcohol DrinkingMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Emotions::AnxietyMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Behavior::Behavioral Symptoms::DepressionMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Mental Disorders::Mood Disorders::Depressive DisorderMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Behavior::Impulsive BehaviorMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Statistics as Topic::Regression AnalysisMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Behavior::Tobacco Useresearch articleopen access10.3389/fpsyt.2017.000111664-0640PMC5291168
