Abstract
Employing a survey, the study examined self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-control as antecedents of mobile phone addiction. The findings indicate that self-control is the most significant predictor of mobile phone addiction. Gender and age demonstrate a statistically significant relationship with a particular dimension of mobile phone addiction, compulsive anxiety. The findings are expected to help practitioners delineate elaborated approaches aimed at relieving a dimension of the addiction-like symptoms of technology use. In addition, scholars can utilise dimensions composed of mobile phone addiction and self-traits to examine the detailed and respective causality that exists between them.
