The impact of mobile phone addiction on college students' attention – a case study of a vocational and technical university

This study investigates the impact of mobile phone addiction on the attention span among students at a vocational and technical university. The research aims to fill the gaps in existing literature by focusing on this specific student demographic and educational context. A mixed-methods approach involving surveys, questionnaires, and observational studies is utilized to gather data on mobile phone addiction levels, attention spans, and academic performance. Key findings reveal a significant negative correlation between mobile phone addiction and attention, with addicted students exhibiting lower attention spans and poorer academic performance. The study underscores the need for tailored interventions and policies to address mobile phone addiction in vocational and technical education settings.
