使用手机也会传染？你发短信我就刷微博！

'What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,'Dr Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. 'Every person we observed used his/her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. Individuals may see others checking their incoming messages and be prompted to check their own.'

丹尼尔克鲁格博士是本次研究的共同作者之一，他表示说：“我们从没想到人们会如此频繁地使用手机，这个的确很有意思。我们观察的每一个人，至少有一次在对方使用手机刚5秒时就开始看自己的手机。当有人看到别人收发短信时，他们也会不自觉地掏出手机。”

Overall, the students used their cellphones in an average of 24 percent, the researchers found. But they were significantly more likely to use their phones (39.5 percent) when their companion had just done so in the previous 10-second interval than without the social cue, the researchers said, adding that this behavior was often repeated.

研究者发现，一般情况下学生使用手机的频率是24%，但若旁边有同伴在未收到任何社交信号的情况下，在上一个10秒间隔用手机的话，那另外一人使用手机的频率则会大幅增加到39.5%。研究人员还表示，这种行为会多次重复。

'Cell phones create an alternative outlet for one’s attention and may both promote and interfere with live social interaction,' the researchers wrote.
