This study examines the psychological and socio-cognitive aspects of smartphone addiction among adolescents, with a particular focus on its relationship with cognitive fatigue. The research analyzes the factors contributing to adolescents’ engagement in the digital environment and their impact on cognitive functioning, communication skills, and emotional stability. Theoretical analysis highlights the role of continuous digital stimulation, multitasking, and information overload in the development of cognitive fatigue. In addition, the study explores key determinants of smartphone addiction and identifies potential preventive strategies aimed at reducing its negative psychological effects.
