Locus of control and cell phone use: Implications for sleep quality, academic performance, and subjective well-being

作者：

Highlights：

• A path model examined how locus of control (LoC) is related to cell phone use and behavioral outcomes.

• Behavioral outcomes include sleep quality, academic performance and subjective well-being.

• LoC is not related to total daily cell phone use, but to use at inopportune times and circumstances.

• Greater external LoC: less control of use at bedtime, in class, and while studying.

• More inopportune use: lower in sleep quality, academic performance and subjective well-being.
