In an increasingly pervasive digital environment, trait boredom has been identified as a key psychological factor in the onset and maintenance of problematic digital technology use. This systematic review aims to investigate the role of trait boredom in digital behavioral addictions, including problematic smartphone use, Internet and social media overuse, and gaming addiction, through theoretical models such as the I-PACE model and the Compensatory Internet Use Theory (CIUT). A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple scientific databases (PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus), yielding a total of 4603 records.

Background And Aims: Problematic Smartphone Use (PSU) has become a major public health issue, with stress identified as a key factor. Pathological technology use is often linked to dysfunctional reward processing, which is characterized by hyperactivity during reward anticipation and hypoactivity during reward receipt, both closely tied to emotion regulation. This study aimed to investigate the association between PSU and event-related potentials (ERP) linked to reward anticipation and feedback processing, while elucidating the role of reward processing dysfunction in the escalation of daily life stress into PSU through ecological momentary assessment.
