My research proposal is researching is if smartphones and other technologies affect your relationship whether its good or bad. Research is going great as I found plenty of resources. Here are five more searches I’ve conducted.
1st Search:
- Subject and Course Guides (from Library)
- Computer Science
- Click on Technology in Society
- Finding Articles
- CQ Researcher Database
- On advance search tab, I typed “Technology Addiction” with Science and Technology tab check marked
- Received 10 results
- Potential resource I found was a article titled “Technology Addiction”
This source briefly describes how there is a technology disorder among us. Also describes how technology has became a addiction problem among that is very new in our society. This is a great resource to describe that we may very well have addiction problem.
2nd Search:
- Research Database (From Library home page)
- Type “technology” in search tab
- Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (EBSCOhost)
- Search Phone AND Addiction
- Came up with 10 results
- Found a resource titled “Phone Addiction and its Relationship with Social Anxiety and Loneliness
This source has done studies on how people cope with their phone addiction because they are truly lonely. This is especially a problem among the younger generation.
3rd Search:
- Research Database (From Library home page)
- Type “technology” in search tab
- Computer Source Database (EBSCOhost)
- Type in Internet AND Addiction
- Came Up with 62 results
- Found a resource titled “The Effect of Belongingness on Obsessives-Compulsive Disorder in the Use of Online Social Networks”.
This source describes the how much effect social media networks have among people on how they think and act. But then they think maybe its too much influence among the population.
4th Search:
- Research Database (From Library home page)
- Type “technology” in search tab
- Applied Science & Technology Abstract (EBSCOhost)
- Type in Phone AND Compulsive
- Came up with 19 results
- Found a resource titled “Are We Addicted to Technology? Experts agree technology causes some negative behavior, but they are divided on how bad the problem is”.
Another resources that gives another angle on technology addiction. But I liked this one because some researcher believe it may not be bad as some think.
5th Search:
- From the resource i found in my 4th search, I looked at the resources and found a source called “Is Smartphone Addiction really a addiction?”
- So I searched the title on the Forsyth Library home page and search all databases
- It gave me a link that it was available on the Gale Academic database.
- Gave me a link and took me directly to the resource
I liked this resources because they have already conducted several studies if Smartphones are really a addiction. Gives a lot of details that I can use in my research proposal.
Conclusion
I think I have reached saturation, although I am open to look to more resources if needed. But I do feel I have found plenty of sources to determine what I feel like I need for my research proposal.
