| CMCH Synopsis: |
195 people completed a survey asking about how much they used cell phones and about certain personality traits. Researchers found that people who are younger, more outgoing, and have lower self-esteem are more likely to show addictive behaviors around their cell phone use. Younger people use cell phones more overall, use them more for social reasons, and are heavy users of text messaging. © Center on Media and Child Health
