Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop the mobile phone addict scale, which was developed based on Mobile Phone Addict Index (MPAI) according to Leung’s study (2007), such as inability to control craving, anxiety and feeling lost, withdrawal/escape, and productivity loss. The development of the scale adopted items of Leung’s study. Participants were 200 students who were at late stages of adolescence selected through incidental sampling (N=200). Results of validity, reliability, and norm are further discussed.
