作者:

Highlights:

• Network analysis has rarely been used to examine smartphone addiction.

• Inability to control craving and productivity loss had the closest edge intensity.

• Feeling anxious and lost was the strongest central node in the domain-level network.

• The relationship between FoMO, SNS use, and smartphone addiction was close in the item-level network.

• There were no significant gender differences in the network structure and the global edge strength.
