Abstract: Young adolescents with abusive mothers act abusively are at high risk of developing problematic smartphone use as a means of avoiding an unsatisfying reality and making connections with others via a smartphone (Kwak, Kim, & Yoon, 2018). This study is based on the following hypotheses: Mothers' abusive parenting predicts young adolescents' problematic smartphone use; and the relationship between mothers' abusive parenting and young adolescents' problematic smartphone use is moderated by trusting peer relationships and/or the amount of time spent hanging out with peers.
