Hi folks,

Doing what I do (work for Flipd), I’m always aware of new research on children/teens & phone addiction.
However, I’m not up-to-date enough on research concerning adults.
Can anyone direct me to some recommended recent research?

Thanks in advance!

Can you elaborate a little? at the outset, ‘addiction’ is a term that many information technology researchers are trying to avoid using, so perhaps you could explain what kind of behaviours you are interested in?

Hi Ciaran.
I’m most looking for any up-to-date studies that reference the effect of over-exposure to screens, and the cognitive effects of cell-phone use, in adults.
There’s so much stuff out there on students/children - but I haven’t seen anything groundbreaking come on adults for a while.
Any advice?

Thanks.
Cal
