Science has answers to the question that concerns us all: Why are we hanging on the phone?

The classic answer to why it's so hard for you to leave your phone in most cases would be because you're addicted to it.

You're used to being distracted, like by the design of these devices and apps, and the dopamine effect every time you get the phone.

However, science offers an alternative explanation. Is it possible that our mobile devices will attract us, not because we are dependent, but because we are trying to avoid the voice in our heads?

To understand why this makes sense to your <x0 hypopetosis”, read what the results of a recent study by social psychologist Timothy Wilson at the University of Virginia say.

His team left a group of people in a room, from which they took away all the things they could get attention: phones, pens, paper, etc.

Subjects then spent 15 minutes standing alone with their thoughts.

Wilson's team found that most people in the group appreciated this experience as boring or an experience they did not enjoy at all.

Scientists then introduced a slight turn for the whole situation. They repeated the same experiment, leaving a desk device in the room that allowed subjects of “to fish” themselves with a mini-elect shock.

For 27 percent of women and 67 percent of men, the fact that they had to stay alone in the room with their opinions was so unbearable that they decided to <x0...godaise” themselves by turn. One man is said to have repeated it 190 times.

The disturbing result of this study is that most people would rather hurt themselves than be left alone with their own thoughts,
