Smartphone addiction in Honduran university students

Participants ranged in age from 17 to 64 years (M = 26.16, SD = 8.33), and the majority were female. The dataset provides valuable insights into students’ mental health and digital behavior across different stages of their academic training.

It consists of two main categories of information. The first includes sociodemographic variables such as age, biological sex, and average number of hours of daily smartphone use. The second category includes responses to three validated instruments: the Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version (SAS-SV), which assesses problematic smartphone use; the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), which measures problematic internet use behaviors; and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale–21 (DASS-21), which evaluates psychological distress.
