Abstract

The permeation of cell phone technology continues to alter human behavior by changing the way individuals communicate with both physically distant and co-present others. Despite their numerous communicative affordances, past research suggests potential negative effects when cell phones are over-used. Results from an online survey (N = 498) indicate that cell phone addiction was positively associated with experiences of anxiety. Anxiety, in turn, was negatively associated with willingness to engage in face-to-face communication. These findings suggest cell phones serve to improve communication with distant others while also posing a potential threat to the quality of communication with co-present others.

手机成瘾、焦虑和面对面交流的意愿
手机技术的渗透通过改变个人与物理距离较远和共同在场的其他人的交流方式,继续改变着人类的行为。尽管手机有许多交流功能,但过去的研究表明,过度使用手机会产生潜在的负面影响。一项在线调查(N = 498)的结果表明,手机成瘾与焦虑经历呈正相关。反过来,焦虑与参与面对面交流的意愿呈负相关。这些发现表明,手机有助于改善与远方的人的沟通,但也对与同在的人的沟通质量构成潜在威胁。

期刊介绍: Communication Reports (CR), published biannually since 1988, is one of two scholarly journals of the Western States Communication Association (WSCA). The journal publishes original manuscripts that are short, data/text-based, and related to the broadly defined field of human communication. The mission of the journal is to showcase exemplary scholarship without censorship based on topics, methods, or analytical tools. Articles that are purely speculative or theoretical, and not data analytic, are not appropriate for this journal. Authors are expected to devote a substantial portion of the manuscript to analyzing and reporting research data.
