A new study from Iowa State University has identified some of the central aspects of nomophobia -- that's "no mobile phone" phobia -- with a handy new 20-question survey measuring iPhone codependence.Scroll down to take the quiz.
愛荷華州立大學(xué)(Iowa State University)最近用一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的共包括20個(gè)問題的測(cè)試,總結(jié)出“無手機(jī)恐懼癥”(nomophobia )的主要特點(diǎn)。20個(gè)問題均測(cè)試受訪者對(duì)iPhone的依賴程度。測(cè)試內(nèi)容在本文下方。
"Nomophobia is considered a modern age phobia introduced to our lives as a byproduct of the interaction between people and mobile information and communication technologies, especially smartphones," Caglar Yildirim, one of the study's authors, told The Huffington Post in an email. "It refers to fear of not being able to use a smartphone ... [and] it refers to the fear of not being able to communicate, losing the connectedness that smartphones allow, not being able to access information through smartphones, and giving up the convenience that smartphones provide."
本次研究的負(fù)責(zé)人之一卡格拉•耶爾德勒姆(Cagler Yildirim)在給《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》的郵件中寫道:“無手機(jī)恐懼癥是信息時(shí)代的產(chǎn)物。人們對(duì)以手機(jī)為代表的信息通訊技術(shù)的依賴導(dǎo)致了這種癥狀的產(chǎn)生。它 指的是人們對(duì)不能使用手機(jī)的恐懼,即不能通過手機(jī)聊天,與世界失去聯(lián)系的感覺,不能通過手機(jī)獲取資訊以及不能享用智能手機(jī)帶來的便利。”
The research builds on a University of Missouri study published in January. which found that bring separated from your iPhone can have a real psychological and physiological effect, including impaired thinking.
早在今年一月,密蘇里州的一所大學(xué)發(fā)表的研究報(bào)告表明,把iPhone從身邊拿開會(huì)對(duì)人們的生理和心理均帶來一定影響,甚至使他們不能正常思考。愛荷華州立大學(xué)的本次研究即是基于這份報(bào)告的成果。
"iPhones are capable of becoming an extension of our selves such that when separated, we experience a lessening of 'self' and a negative physiological state," Russell Clayton, a doctoral candidate and the study's lead author, said in a statement.
本次研究的主要負(fù)責(zé)人,在讀博士羅素•克萊頓(Russell Clayton)聲稱:“我們已經(jīng)把iPhone視為身體的延伸,一旦與它分開,我們會(huì)覺得'自我'少了一部分,感到生理不適。”
To develop the questionnaire, the Iowa researchers interviewed nine undergraduate students about their relationships with their smartphones, identifying four basic dimensions of nomophobia: not being able to communicate, losing connectedness, not being able to access information and giving up convenience. Then, they tested the questionnaire on 301 undergraduate students.
在設(shè)計(jì)這份問卷前,愛荷華州立大學(xué)的研究者就“自己與手機(jī)的關(guān)系”采訪了九名本科生,從而總結(jié)出“無手機(jī)恐懼癥”的四個(gè)主要擔(dān)憂:不能交流,與世界失去聯(lián)系,不能獲取資訊以及不能享用智能手機(jī)帶來的便利。隨后,共有301名本科生回答了這份調(diào)查問卷。
