Background & Objectives: Adolescence is a period of great emotional and social changes as well as changes in relationships. In today's age, teenagers show a great desire to use mobile phones to compensate for loneliness and emptiness caused by bad relationships, which constitutes a large part of their lives. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of explaining the relationship between mobile phone addiction, loneliness, self-efficacy perception, and parental relationship among male teenagers in the first secondary school.
methods: The current research was analytical and of the type of correlation models. The statistical population of the research was made up of all teenage male students of the first secondary schools of the 19th district of Tehran province in the academic year of 1400-1401, and 200 of them were selected by voluntary sampling. According to Jolly Plant's formula, the sample size is N>50+8m, where m means the number of predictor variables and N means the minimum sample size. Considering that there were 3 predictor variables in this research, the minimum suitable sample size in this research was calculated to be 74 people. To increase the validity of the test and control the possible dropout of the subjects, the sample size was 200 male adolescents studying in four secondary boys' schools. The first period was determined in 19 districts of Tehran, which were selected by voluntary non-random sampling method and the questionnaires were completed in the winter of 1400. The criterion for entering the research was being in the mentioned age range, knowingly and willingly answering the questionnaires and not suffering from specific physical and mental problems (according to personal report). Failure to fully respond to the research questionnaires was also considered as the criterion for leaving the research. All ethical considerations were observed in this research. No personal information was received from the participants, they were assured about maintaining their confidential information, the necessary coordination was made with school administrators to send online questionnaires in class groups, the questionnaires were collected with informed consent, and people with full consent to conduct the research. The participants took questionnaires on cell phone addiction (Savari,1393), feelings of loneliness (Russell et al., 1980), parent-child relationship (Fine et al., 1983) and general self-efficacy questionnaire (Sherr et al., 1982). ) answered. Data analysis was done using multiple linear regression method, Pearson correlation coefficient at a significance level of 0.05 in spss software version 26.
Results: The findings of the present study showed that decreativity (β=0.40, P<0.001), desire orientation (β=0.19, P<0.002) and loneliness (P<0.001, β = 0.28), predicted the feeling of loneliness in adolescent boys; Also, decreativity (β = -0.45, P < 0.001), desire orientation (β = -0.20, P < 0.001) and loneliness (β = -0.24, P < 0.001) ), predicted self-efficacy perception in adolescent boys; Also, decreativity (β = -0.30, P < 0.001), desire orientation (β = -0.24, P < 0.001) and loneliness (β = -0.30, P < 0.001) ), predicted the parental relationship in male teenagers; also, 56% of the variance of loneliness, 58% of the variance of self-efficacy perception and 51% of the variance of parental relationship were explained based on the components of mobile phone addiction (decreasivity, desirability and loneliness).
Conclusion: The results of the present study determined that mobile phone addiction and its components including (decreasivity, desirability and loneliness) are predictors of loneliness, perception of self-efficacy and parental relationship in adolescent boys. This research has also provided parents, educational organizations and other policy makers in the education sector with preventive suggestions for cell phone addiction and recommendations for future research.
