Examining the psychometric properties of the Smartphone Addiction Scale and its short version for use with emerging adults in the U.S

The Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) and Smartphone Addiction Scale – Short Version (SAS-SV) were originally developed and validated for use with South Korean adults and adolescents respectively. Despite being frequently used in U.S. adult populations, neither scale has been validated for this purpo...
