The research study, substantiating a theory proposed by Professor Samuel P.L. Veissière in 2018, observed increased anxiety and psychological stimulation in individuals deprived of their phones, particularly amongst those primed for social interaction.A research study team from the University of Granada (UGR) has actually demonstrated that its not mobile phones themselves to which individuals are “addicted,” however rather the social interactions they facilitate. We likewise discovered that this group ended up being more distressed when they were asked to stop using their mobile phones. When they were enabled to utilize their phones once again, this group experienced a much higher level of emotional arousal,” says López Puga.The results show that mobile phones are not the cause of psychological issues, however rather that how and why the devices are used can much better describe specific mental problems.Reference: “Social Expectancy Increases Skin Conductance Response in Mobile Instant Messaging Users” by Ana María Ruiz-Ruano García, Ana Sánchez-Kuhn, Pilar Flores and Jorge López Puga, 2023, Psicothema.DOI: 10.7334/ psicothema2022.362.
