Research suggests that smartphone usage is negatively correlated with psychosocial well-being. Even though smartphones are designed to enhance connectivity in real-time, they often cause a paradoxical effect of feeling isolated. The current study analyzes the relation between excessive smartphone use and potential negative implications on the social world of the user. Results show that some personal characteristics of the user can affect the evolution of social support in relation to smartphone use. The findings exhibit that extensive use of smartphone technology can have deleterious effects for the user’s social system.
