Abstract

L'objet de la présente étude est d'analyser la fréquence d'utilisation et la prévalence de l'addiction au smartphone en les associant au genre chez les adolescents en Côte d'Ivoire. L'étude a été réalisée auprès de 373 adolescents (garçons et filles) âgés de 12 à 19 ans, fréquentant le collège privé Merajea de Yopougon. Au moyen d'un questionnaire adapté à la version abrégée de l'échelle SAS (SAS-SV), ils ont été interrogés suite à une sélection par convenance et une participation volontaire. La version 20 du logiciel SPSS a été utilisée comme outil de traitement des données recueillies, présentées à travers des tableaux statistiques. Les résultats traitent initialement de l'identification des élèves possédant un smartphone en fonction du niveau d’étude et du sexe, puis examinent la fréquence d'utilisation du smartphone selon le sexe, et enfin évaluent le degré d'addiction en fonction du genre. En prenant en considération ces résultats, il apparaît que le genre se révèle être un indicateur significatif dans le contexte de l'addiction au smartphone.

 

The purpose of this study is to analyze the frequency of smartphone use and the prevalence of smartphone addiction, associating them with gender among adolescents in Côte d'Ivoire. The study was conducted with 373 adolescents (both boys and girls) aged 12 to 19, attending the private Merajea College. Using a questionnaire adapted to the shortened version of the SAS scale (SAS-SV), the participants were surveyed following a convenience sampling and voluntary participation. SPSS software (20 Version) was employed as a tool for processing the collected data, presented through statistical tables. The results initially focus on identifying students with smartphones based on the level of study and gender, then examine the frequency of smartphone use by gender, and finally assess the degree of addiction based on gender. Considering these findings, it becomes evident that gender proves to be a significant indicator in the context of smartphone addiction.
