手机在大学校园里随处可见，在学习的环境中也经常使用。这项研究在控制了已知的预测因素后，评估了手机使用和实际大学平均成绩（GPA）之间的关系。因此，536名本科生从82个自我报告的专业在一个大的，公立大学进行了抽样调查。分层回归（R-2 = 0.449）表明，在控制了人口统计学变量、自我调节学习的自我效能感、学业成绩的自我效能感和高中实际GPA之后，手机使用与实际大学GPA显著（p <0.001）和负相关（β =-0.164），这些变量都是显著的预测因素（p <0.05）。因此，在控制了其他既定的预测因素后，增加手机使用与学业成绩下降有关。虽然需要更多的研究来确定潜在的机制，但研究结果表明，需要让学生和教育工作者对与高频使用手机相关的潜在学术风险保持敏感。
The cell phone is ever-present on college campuses and is frequently used in settings where learning occurs. This study assessed the relationship between cell phone use and actual college grade point average (GPA) after controlling for known predictors. As such, 536 undergraduate students from 82 self-reported majors at a large, public university were sampled. A hierarchical regression (R-2 = .449) demonstrated that cell phone use was significantly (p < .001) and negatively (beta = -.164) related to actual college GPA after controlling for demographic variables, self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, self-efficacy for academic achievement, and actual high school GPA, which were all significant predictors (p < .05). Thus, after controlling for other established predictors, increased cell phone use was associated with decreased academic performance. Although more research is needed to identify the underlying mechanisms, findings suggest a need to sensitize students and educators about the potential academic risks associated with high-frequency cell phone use.
