Abstract :
The current research aimed to explore the
relationship between Cell phone Addiction and
Interpersonal Skills among Pakistani Young Adults in a
quantitative correlation research survey design. A
purposive convenient sampling technique was used to
approach N= 251 young adults (Males n=102& Female
n=149) age ranged between 18-35 years old, from
different government and private institutes and
universities of Karachi. It was hypothesized that there
will be a negative relationship between Cell phone
Addiction and Interpersonal skills. The findings revealed
a significant weak positive relationship exists between
cell phone addiction and interpersonal skills, (r=.18) and
productive usage of cell phone (r= .11). The value of
Cronbach’s Alpha for Cellphone addiction is 0.79 and
Interpersonal skills are 0.76, which lies in good range.
The value of skewness and kurtosis shows that data is
normally distributed. The significant value of
interpersonal skill (p= .73) and cell phone addiction is (p
= .19). Hence the roles of cell phone addiction levels were
evaluated in link of interpersonal skills. The study is seen
to have multiple implications, particularly in the field of
education, counseling, training and mentoring of adults.
