Most recently, we wrote about the usefulness of the sensor devices children. Part of the "Illusions", according to neuroscientists, awakens
them more brain activity. However, these are children. In adults, it's different.
The staff at Baylor University calculated that the average smartphone user checks his device 150 times a day. For no apparent reason. This refers to cases where there is no need to check incoming mail or make an important call.
A third of users with whom worked representatives of the University, admitted that they are dependent on mobile gadgets. Such people are uncomfortable leaving the house without a handheld device, and can not part with them on holiday or weekend. It is a disease which is called nomofobiya.
However, scientists who conducted the interviews and put their own experiments on established sampling did some different conclusions. According to them, the people who constantly check their phones, flipping through news feeds social networks or playing mobile games, nearly 95% are in a depressed mental state.
Do not believe in these statements, we turned to domestic experts who, in turn, not only denied this information, but confirmed the links to medical journals.
For example, in June last year of specialized foreign edition "Personality and Individual Differences," explored the link between drug abuse and addiction phone, finding the last one of the reasons for today's emotional instability.
If you think that the averaged image of a person depending on the phone - a young boy or girl school years, you're wrong. Much more susceptible to such a psychological dependence, or the language of science, nomofobii, just did the parents of these children. It is they who force children to become attached to gadgets, including their method of control and imaginary security. "So he (she) will always be under my wing, I can him (her) to protect it from misfortune. And suddenly something happens, when there is no connection! He (she) will be able to find me? "
Although young people are more vulnerable to addiction. The virtual world is largely replaced the live communication, because it is now easier to find a soul mate in the network, rather than to make this physical effort.

But back to the research publication "Personality and Individual Differences." In the course of their work they are attracted to cooperate 346 American college students. The total number of respondents exceeded 100 thousand people, and this is no small sample, which can safely be trusted.
A few questions each posted anonymously, and therefore suspected of impropriety and concealment of facts can be one. Such statistical error is allowed in any poll.
The data showed that those who most often use a smartphone, most prone to fits of petulance and uncontrollable outbursts of emotion. At the same time, they can not concentrate on the task at hand, spraying attention to foreign irritants.
It is not surprising that followed and feedback: people with impulsive nature are more likely to fall into the trap of addiction to the smartphone.
Another study of the referenced our domestic experts, held in Israeli medical centers devoted to just cure such psychologically dependent patients. Israeli psychologists disproved the notion that introverts are more likely to remain alone with mobile devices, preferring to communicate with people.
Despite the widespread opinion about them, introverts - not those who are sitting at a noisy party in the far corner of the room, not looking at the people around them, and the phone's screen. Just introverts - this is the category of people who least exposed to a psychological dependence. This list includes the dependence on people, often falling in love - it they tend to lack, but in our case we are talking about nomofobii. Calm, prone to introspection, quiet, closed people, remote from all but close - this is a group that is guaranteed to be able to give up mobile devices for a day or two a week without experiencing discomfort.
Likewise, by analogy with alcohol or drug addiction, smart phones, so popular in recent years, can cause an imbalance of behavior. Constant incessant checking email, sending SMS, posting to Twitter, surfing the web - it's one of the signals for psychologists and psychiatrists about a possible personality disorder. Artificial diversion itself from the constant worries. Displacement vector of attention to external events, highlights in the news - an attempt to temporary solace inner self, from which escape is impossible. Collect at such person phone. How will he behave? I think the answer and you know that. A third of young people are already deeply sick of this dependence.

It is difficult not to agree with the experts. These characters are dependent on gadgets of any kind, constantly surround us. In some families, the complexity of the relationship between technology and humans leads to quarrels and domestic scandals. We are in no way trying to intimidate or force you to postpone your smartphone aside, forget about it forever. This has already happened that most of us it is needed as a working tool that allows you to be mobile and not be tied to an office working place.
But do not ignore and sounded the signal today. If you've ever found yourself on a third and found at the beginnings of these symptoms, try to handle it yourself, it is too late, and while the family did not send down upon you volunteer battalion psychologists.
