Abstract
Abstract. Social anxiety often occurs in individuals who are at the age of emerging adulthood because they feel uncertainty in exploring who they are, and how they want to be seen by others. Many emerging adulthood individuals who experience social anxiety interact online on smartphones because they feel more comfortable communicating with smartphones than they interact directly. The use of smartphones in everyday life can make it easier for users to reach long-distance communication and access various kinds of information. But on the one hand, the use of smartphones can also cause problems when used excessively, one of these problems is smartphone addiction. The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of social anxiety on smartphone addiction among emerging adulthood in Bandung City. The causality method was used in this quantitative research design. The sample of this study was 400 students who met the research criteria. The measuring instruments on the questionnaire are the Social Anxiety Scale-Adolescence Indonesian version and the Smartphone Addiction Scale Indonesian version. The results of this study indicate the influence of social anxiety on smartphone addiction with a coefficient value of 0.300, which means that it has a moderate influence and is positive, so it can be said to be unidirectional. So it can be concluded, the higher the social anxiety, the more smartphone dependence will increase.
