Abstract Background Mobile phones bring convenience to modern life but increase the risk of addiction. The purpose of this survey was to investigate the association between mobile phone addiction (MPA) and concentration, emotion, sleep quality, cognition, self-value, and academic performance of college students.Methods Preliminary data were collected from 402 college students. Participants completed 12 scales including the mobile phone addiction index (MPAI). The Pearson correlation test and the multiple linear regression analysis were used to investigate their relationship between MPA and other factors. The mediating effect model was used to analyze the influence of MPA on self-control and academic performance.Results The MPA was positively correlated with self-control, negative emotion, sleep quality, ability attribution, background attribution, luck attribution, mastery avoidance goal, performance approach goal, and performance avoidance goal, and negatively correlated with mindfulness, and attentional control. Meanwhile, self-control, negative emotion, and mastery avoidance goal can positively predict MPA. Self-control, but not MPA, is positively correlated with academic performance. MPA has no mediating effect between self-control and academic achievement.Conclusions Our study revealed some influence of MPA on contemporary college students, with the purpose of warning college students addicted to mobile phones not to waste time and improve self-control.
