| CMCH Synopsis: |
A group of Japanese junior high students were surveyed about their cell phone use and their friendships. About half of them owned cell phones and were more likely to have friends who also had cell phones. Researchers found that some of the students display some symptoms of dependency; a number of students felt they could not go without their cell phones and that their phones interfered with their schedule. More than half of the students without cell phones wanted one. The authors point out that it is possible that students feel left out socially if they do not have a cell phone. They recommend more research with different cultures and ages. © Center on Media and Child Health
