Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the relational relationship between adolescent psychological resilience and smartphone addiction in terms of certain variables. The research was designed within the framework of a quantitative research approach and conducted using a correlational survey model. Research data were collected from 267 students studying in two different provinces in Turkey. The Short Psychological Resilience Scale and the Smartphone Addiction Scale were used as data collection tools in the research. Descriptive analyses, Independent Samples t-Test, and One-Way ANOVA were used in the analysis of the data. The findings showed that adolescents' psychological resilience levels were above average, while their smartphone addiction was relatively high; that boys had higher psychological resilience than girls, but that addiction levels did not differ significantly according to gender. In addition, it was determined that smartphone addiction decreased as the grade level increased, and that psychological resilience negatively and significantly predicted smartphone addiction, explaining 7.8% of the variance in addiction. It is recommended that psychoeducational content aimed at strengthening psychological resilience be systematically integrated into guidance services. It is also recommended to collect data from multiple sources and include contextual variables in the model.
