| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Smartphone Addiction Scale (SmAS) score | SmAS is a short 10 item validated scale measuring smartphone addiction. The minimum value is 10 and the maximum value is 60 for this scale. | Baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks post intervention |
| Mobile Phone Attachment Scale - Anxious Attachment Sub Scale (MPAS-AA) | The MPAS Anxious Attachment subscale comprises 7 items rated 1 (not at all true) to 5 (extremely true). Subscale scores were computed as the mean of the 7 items (range 1-5), with higher scores indicating greater anxious attachment to one's mobile phone. The MPAS-AA has demonstrated good internal consistency (α=.87) and external validity. | Baseline, immediate post-intervention (up to 24 hours), 2 weeks and 4 weeks post intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Phone Attachment Scale - Addiction Sub Scale (MPAS_Addiction) | Mobile phone addiction will be assessed with the MPAS Addiction subscale (6 items). Items are rated on a 5-point scale from 1 = not at all true to 5 = extremely true; responses are averaged to create a subscale score (range 1-5), with higher scores indicating greater addictive/problematic mobile phone use. | Baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks post intervention |

| Informational Control | Behavioral | A short fact sheet presenting written information and statistics about smartphone usage. |
|
| Perceived Danger of Smartphone Overuse measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) | Perceived danger of smartphone overuse will be assessed with a single-item 10-point slider (visual analogue-type scale) ranging from 0 = not at all dangerous to 10 = extremely dangerous. Higher scores indicate greater perceived danger. | Baseline, immediately post intervention exposure (up to 24 hours), 2 weeks and 4 weeks post intervention exposure |
| Self-reported daily smartphone use (past 2 weeks) | Self-reported daily smartphone use will be assessed via a single self-report item asking participants: 'On average, how many hours per day did you use your phone over the past two weeks?' Responses are recorded in 6 ordered categories: <1 h, 1-2 h, 2-4 h, 4-6 h, 6-8 h, >8 h, with higher categories indicating greater daily use. | Baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks post intervention exposure |
| Self-perceived smartphone addiction (single item; Olsen) | Self-perceived smartphone addiction will be assessed using Olsen's single-item smartphone addiction measure, asking agreement with the statement 'I am addicted to my smartphone' on a 6-point Likert scale from Strongly disagree (1) to Strongly agree (6). Higher scores indicate greater self-perceived smartphone addiction. | Baseline, immediately post intervention exposure (up to 24 hours) 2 weeks and 4 weeks post intervention exposure |
