      ab: We gave 220 individuals (88 male, M age = 29.32 years) the Self-Perceptions of Text Messaging Dependency Scale (SPTMDS, which measures emotion reaction, excessive use, disruption of relationships with text messages and psychological/behavioral symptoms concerning heavy usage) and an iPod Dependence version of the SPTMDS. Little work has examined how iPod usage is associated with individuals, despite iPod ubiquity with other electronic devices. All four of the subscales of the SPTMDS were significantly and positively correlated with the four subscales of the iPod dependence scale. Similarly, all four iPod dependence subscales correlated positively with a measure of depression, state anxiety, and trait anxiety. Age was negatively correlated with iPod and texting dependence. Staying connected to the social world appears to have important consequences for adequate mental health.
