ABSTRACT
This study investigated Resilience and Mental health as predictors of Mobile Addiction among 200 college going students from various colleges from Baramati city. Results revealed significant negative correlation between Resilience and Mobile Addiction, but no such association was found between mental health and Mobile Addiction and no significant association between Resilience and mental health. Additionally, using the stepwise multiple regression analysis, it was found that Resilience alone accounted for 4.40 % (R-square = .044) of the variance in Mobile Addiction, (F (1, 198) = 9.05, p < .01) while a separate simple multiple regression analysis revealed that mental health also contributed 0.07% (R-square = .007) to the variance in Mobile Addiction and this was found to be not significant (F (1, 198) = 1.42, p > .01). Although, mental health does not contribute independently the joint contributions of the predictor variables seems to be statistically significant. Using the stepwise method, predictors significantly accounted for 4.80% (R-square = .048); (F (1, 198) = 4.96, p < .01) of the variance in Mobile Addiction. Therefore it was concluded that Mental Health influence significantly on Mobile Addiction in combination with Resilience.
