Employing recent research results covering addictive behavior of problematic smartphone users, and building our argument by drawing on data collected from AARP, The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction, ExactTarget, MarketingCharts, Pew Research Center, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding the relationship between depression, anxiety, and stress. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data.
