However, there is still a category of people who are less likely to become addicted to phones. They rarely use them or are completely alien to them.

They are at the other end of the spectrum from people who have lost control over the use of telephones and who show some of the classic signs of dependence (euphoria, aggression, conflict).

To find out what people are prone to smartphone addiction, scientists have recently conducted a survey. He had to figure out people with what personality traits are more prone to dependence on smartphones.

Extroverts who seek to be in the center of events and be associated with a large number of people around them are more likely to be dependent on their smartphones than introverts. Scientists have discovered that the “sense of connection” is the most important emotional aspect of using a smartphone.

Materialistic students were heavily dependent on their gadgets. This may seem strange, although given the main trends, modern phones now play an important role in the lives of young people. Therefore, this conclusion can be considered a pattern.

Young people constantly use their mobile phones in public places, demonstrating the brand and features of their iPhone. In their opinion, this tells the world a lot about who they are.
