Introduction
In recent years, the relationship between academic burnout and problematic smartphone use (PSU) has received increasing attention from researchers. However, existing findings remain inconsistent, with some studies reporting a significant positive association while others finding non-significant results. This study aims to systematically examine the association between academic burnout and PSU and to explore potential moderating factors.
Methods
Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases. A total of 79 studies were included, comprising 115 effect sizes and 68,162 participants. A three-level meta-analytic approach was employed to estimate the overall effect size and to examine potential moderators, including demographic characteristics, study contextual features, publication status, and measurement instruments.
Results
The results indicated a moderate positive correlation between academic burnout and PSU (r = 0.438, 95% CI [0.409, 0.467]). Moderator analyses revealed that the relationship was significantly influenced by the year of data collection and the type of PSU measurement instruments used.
Discussion
This study provides a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the association between academic burnout and PSU. The findings offer robust empirical evidence to inform the development of targeted prevention and intervention strategies for PSU.
