The survey is organized into clear sections covering demographics and academic background, daily smartphone usage patterns, dependency indicators such as anxiety when disconnected and time loss, and the perceived academic impact of smartphone use. With fields for GPA range, year of study, and major, researchers can analyze correlations across diverse student populations while maintaining respondent anonymity.
