A recent study conducted by researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan explored the relationship between smartphone use and attention and bodily awareness.
The study found that individuals who were easily distracted by smartphone-related cues had lower bodily awareness and stronger physical reactions, such as faster heart rates, when exposed to smartphone images.
The findings suggest that smartphones may affect both attention and bodily connection in individuals, similar to patterns seen in addiction.
The study highlights the need to understand the deeper effects of smartphone use and develop healthier habits, particularly among younger individuals.
