Socio-psychological factors in the development of mobile addiction in military families

Abstract

Problems associated with mobile addiction (dependence on mobile devices) in military families remain one of the pressing issues studied by both domestic and foreign scholars. A military family is a distinct social group characterized by specific psychological features and dynamics, playing a significant role in the institutionalization of society. Such families exhibit unique features of family subculture, challenges associated with rotation and relocation, parent–child relationships, and the process of adaptation to new environments, as well as integration into social interaction systems. This article presents the results of an empirical study on the socio-psychological factors of mobile addiction formation in military families. The findings highlight the influence of mobile technologies on family communication, emotional closeness, interpersonal relationships, and children’s socialization processes
