Abstract: (2 Views)
The present study aimed to examine the serial mediating role of emotional exhaustion and academic cynicism in the relationship between alexithymia and smartphone addiction in medical sciences students. The research employed a descriptive–correlational design using structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population consisted of medical sciences students from universities in Tehran and Alborz during the 2024–2025 academic year, from whom 260 participants were selected through convenience sampling. The instruments included the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-33, Kwon et al., 2013), the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20, Bagby et al., 1994), and the Breso’s Academic Burnout Questionnaire (BABQ, Breso et al., 2007; to measure the dimensions of emotional exhaustion and academic cynicism). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings indicated that the proposed model demonstrated a good fit with the data. Results showed that alexithymia had a direct and significant relationship with emotional exhaustion, academic cynicism, and smartphone addiction (p<0.001). Furthermore, the serial pathway of emotional exhaustion and academic cynicism significantly mediated the relationship between alexithymia and smartphone addiction, even after controlling daily smartphone usage time (p<0.05). These findings suggest that alexithymia can explain smartphone addiction among medical sciences students through the sequential mediating effects of emotional exhaustion and academic cynicism.
Keywords: Alexithymia, Emotional Exhaustion, Academic Cynicism, Smartphone Addiction, Medical Sciences Students.
