Mobile phone dependence has been a widely debated topic in the scientific community, because of its definition as well as its existence. Immediate texting has been described as impulsive behavior related to mobile dependence. Impulsivity is a central factor in the development and maintenance of addictive behaviors. In the present experiment, the role of reaction time to text messages as a predictor of smartphone addiction was analyzed. For this purpose, the relationship between response time to text messages in various situations, smartphone dependence and impulsivity has been analyzed in a sample of 231 participants.
