Abstract

We used a multi-method approach to investigate the influence of cellphones on socialization and the relationship between survey responses and observed behaviors. Cellphone availability reduced social interaction among participants. Participants were aware of the addictive properties of cell phones and cellphone dependency predicted the occurrence of other related phenomena.
