Young people ‘get post-traumatic stress’ when separated from their mobiles

Young people love their smartphones so very much that when they’re separated from them their hearts go berserk – in a pattern similar to what happens in post-traumatic stress disorder.

Researchers at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest experimented on 87 smartphone owners aged between 18 and 26.

The researchers took away some of the volunteers’ mobiles and placed them in a cupboard in a locked room – sparking panic.
The youngsters tried to approach the cupboard to get their phones back – while their hearts hammered in their chests.

Analysis found that the youngsters separated separated from their phones displayed heartbeat patterns associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – similar to what happens when a child is separated from a parent.

The researchers write, ‘The results support that humans form attachment toward their mobile: they seek the proximity of the mobile and show stress response upon separation.

Separated individuals had different heart rate responses compared to unseparated participants. Furthermore, separated participants tried to repair proximity to their mobile. 

 ‘They approached the cupboard where their mobile was placed more frequently than unseparated participants.
