(London.CityRegions.com, May 19, 2013 ) Wetherby, UK -- In a University of Michigan study, researchers found that when people are hanging out, if someone checks their phone, chances are at least one other person in the group will do the same.
Researchers recorded every moment a person used their mobile phone in dining halls and coffee shops around campus between January and April last year.
Students, who did not know they were being watched, sat in pairs at tables for as long as 20 minutes and documented their phone use at 10-second intervals.
If a person was out to dinner with someone, the study found, and that person decided to check their phone for messages, the other person was very likely to do the same. The study also concluded that when a group of females was together, the chances were higher that more of them would look at their phones. The researchers concluded this is probably because cell phones are more integrated into their daily lives than they are for men.
In another recent study, researchers found that having a phone in a visible presence, such as on the dinner table while eating or on the couch while cuddling, it affected the way people bonded and communicated.
The International Communications Market Report, published by the media regulator, found almost two out of three 18- to 24-year-olds and 40% of all UK adults use their mobile phones to “visit” socially and more than any other economy in the world, spent more time shopping online.
