Abstract
This study aimed at understanding the adolescents’ perception about the
relationship between Self-Reported Smartphone Addiction and Emotional
and Behavioral Problems in the COVID-19 pandemic context. The qualitative
research was conducted in Brazil with 16 adolescents aged from 15 to
18 years old classified as smartphone addiction by Smartphone Addiction
Inventory scale. Data were collected through Focus Group meetings and
prepared by means of Bardin’s content analysis. The findings resulted in two
categories that describe how adolescents escape from the reality imposed
by the COVID-19 pandemic using smartphones and how they perceive the emotional and behavioral changes caused by this addiction. They develop this
behavior seeking to alleviate negative emotions and to escape from reality,
but this relief is momentary and ineffective, as this addictive relationship
proves to accentuate emotional distress.
