Abstract(s)
A presente investigação visa destacar o papel das orientações hedónicas e
eudaimónicas na tendência à adição ao smartphone, além de compreender se a
autorregulação explica essa relação e se as respostas mudam em função das gerações X
(1965-1980), Y (1981-1996) e Z (1997-2012). Os participantes foram 187 adultos
nascidos entre 1965-2005, de nacionalidade portuguesa e brasileira. Os instrumentos
escolhidos foram: QRAR; SAS-SV e HEEMA. Os resultados revelaram que os níveis de
adição ao smartphone estão relacionados de forma positiva e significativa com a
orientação hedónica e seus componentes, e de maneira negativa com a autorregulação e
suas dimensões. A orientação eudaimónica não demonstrou relevância significativa na
regressão simples com essas variáveis. Existiu mediação parcial da autorregulação
somente no modelo hedónico, demonstrando a importância dessa capacidade para
diminuição do nível de adição. A geração Y moderou a relação entre a orientação
hedónica prazer e controle de impulsos, e a autorregulação com a adição ao smartphone
- potenciando e mantendo a direção de ambas relações em comparação às outras gerações.
E a geração Z moderou somente a relação da orientação eudaimónica e adição ao
smartphone potenciando e mantendo a direção da relação, e tornando-a significativa. A
presente investigação oferece uma compreensão do comportamento digital (via
smartphone) a partir da perspetiva das orientações para as atividades e da autorregulação,
e traz informações importantes sobre as diferenças entre as gerações neste
comportamento. Essas informações salientam que a investigação contribui
cientificamente para compreensão dos fatores que geram efeitos importantes nos níveis
de adição ao smartphone, e assim, oferece uma orientação prática para debater esse
fenómeno.
ABSTRACT: The present investigation aims to highlight the role of hedonic and eudaimonic orientations in the tendency toward smartphone addiction, as well as to understand whether self-regulation explains this relationship and if the responses differ according to Generation X (1965-1980), Y (1981-1996), and Z (1997-2012). The participants were 187 adults born between 1965-2005 of Portuguese and Brazilian nationality. The chosen instruments were: QRAR; SAS-SV and HEEMA. The results revealed that levels of smartphone addiction are positively and significantly related to hedonic orientation and its components, and negatively related to self-regulation and its dimensions. Eudaimonic orientation did not show significant relevance with these variables. There was partial mediation by self-regulation only in the hedonic model, demonstrating the importance of this ability in reducing addiction levels. Generation Y moderated the relationship between hedonic pleasure orientation and impulse control, and self-regulation with smartphone addiction—enhancing and maintaining the direction of both relationships compared to other generations. Generation Z only moderated the relationship between eudaimonic orientation and smartphone addiction, enhancing and maintaining the direction of the relationship and making it significant. The present investigation offers an understanding of digital behavior (via smartphone) from the perspective of individual orientations and self-regulation, providing important insights into generational differences in this behavior. These findings highlight that the research contributes scientifically to understanding the factors that significantly affect smartphone addiction levels, and thus offers practical guidance for discussing this phenomenon.
