“…Smartphones are primarily used to facilitate social interactions and psychology has spent many years convincingly arguing that social support and social integration has many positive health benefits (Day et al, 2018;Haslam et al, 2017;Jao et al, 2018;Pachucki et al, 2015). Even priming topics associated with smartphones appears to make relationship concepts become more accessible (Kardos et al, 2018). New technology also offers a host of new possibilities to improve physical and mental health (Ellis & Piwek, 2018).…”

Understanding how people use technology remains important, particularly when measuring the impact this might have on individuals and society. To date, research within psychological science often frames new technology as problematic with overwhelmingly negative consequences. However, this paper argues that the latest generation of psychometric tools, which aim to assess smartphone usage, are unable to capture technology related experiences or behaviors. As a result, many conclusions concerning the psychological impact of technology use remain unsound. Current assessments have also failed to keep pace with new methodological developments and these data-intensive approaches challenge the notion that smartphones and related technologies are inherently problematic. The field should now consider how it might re-position itself conceptually and methodologically given that many 'addictive' technologies have long since become intertwined with daily life.

“…This is probably due to the fact that when using mobile phones, after hanging up the phone, the user experienced a constant distraction, while when involved in text messaging, pedestrians had the time to stop moving in any possible points to control their direction (15). Researchers have shown that pedestrians talking on a mobile phone are involved in a cognitive distraction that reduces their awareness of the surrounding environment (2,30,(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). In addition, the cognitive distraction can lead to slower walking and being placed in hazardous conditions (41) because pedestrians walking more slowly are at a more serious risk (19).…”

Article Info Background: Distracted walking is a major cause of pedestrian fatalities. Along with the expansion and popularity of mobile phones, their impacts on pedestrian safety, especially when crossing urban intersections have attracted a lot of attention. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mobile-phone use on pedestrians' crossing behavior when passing signalized intersections. Materials and Methods: An observational study was conducted to compare the behavior of pedestrians using mobile phones (the reference group) with non-mobile phone pedestrians (the time-matched control group and the demographic-matched control group) crossing signalized intersections in 2017. For this purpose, the demographic information and walking behaviors of 513 pedestrians were observed. Furthermore, a binary logistic regression model was used to predict risky behaviors. Results: Using mobile phones has a direct impact on the unsafe behavior of pedestrians crossing signalized intersections. Mobile-phone users showed significantly less safe behavior (14.6 times) than non-mobile phone users (p <0.001). Using mobile phones to talk had the greatest impact on the vulnerable behavior of pedestrians (p <0.001). SMS conversations and listening to music were in the next positions, respectively (p = 0.283). Conclusions: Using mobile phones can often lead to the carelessness of pedestrians and their exposure to the possible risk of pedestrian-vehicle crashes. Applying the findings of the present research requires effective technologies and strategies to prevent the use of mobile phones by pedestrians at signalized intersections.

“…As of now, most research relies on indirect tests. For instance, there is evidence that smartphone symbols are associated with positive affect (van Koningsbruggen, Hartmann, Eden, & Veling, 2017) and can prime relationshiprelated concepts (Kardos, Unoka, Pléh, & Soltész, 2018). Additionally, there is ample cross-sectional evidence demonstrating that users themselves report that they obtain social gratification from social apps (Ishii, Rife, & Kagawa, 2017;Jung & Sundar, 2018;Karapanos, Teixeira, & Gouveia, 2016).…”

Social Smartphone Apps Do Not Capture Attention Despite Their Perceived High Reward Value

Smartphones have been shown to distract people from their main tasks (e.g., studying, working), but the psychological mechanisms underlying these distractions are not clear yet. In a preregistered experiment (https://osf.io/g8kbu/), we tested whether the distracting nature of smartphones stems from their high associated (social) reward value. Participants (N = 117) performed a visual search task while they were distracted by (a) high social reward apps (e.g., Facebook app icon + notification sign), (b) low social reward apps (e.g., Facebook app icon), and (c) no social reward apps (e.g., Weather app icon). We expected that high social reward app icons would slow down search, especially when people were deprived of their smartphones. Surprisingly, high social reward (vs. low or no social reward) apps did not impair visual search performance, yet in a survey (N = 158) participants indicated to perceive these icons as more rewarding.Our results demonstrate that even if people perceive social smartphone apps as more rewarding than nonsocial apps, this may not manifest in behavior.
