　　Normally, keep your cell phone on your body and check it every 5 minutes, unless you are resting or when you are extremely busy.

Mobile phones, the sky will be bright.

Then turn on the mode that can't stop after swiping the phone.

　　"The fast-paced short videos and so on made my attention extremely distracting. As long as there are no activities that I must participate in, I can't help but look at my mobile phone and fall into the vicious circle of'nothing beautiful, uncomfortable if you don't watch it'." Someone is so. Described.

　　A question has thus become the focus of people's attention: Is this a "mobile phone dependence"?

　　According to Jin Jin, the attending physician of Shanghai Mental Health Center, dependence is an addictive behavior. Strictly speaking, the definition of addictive behavior needs to meet the diagnostic criteria: craving, physical and psychological dependence, excess amount and duration, withdrawal symptoms .

　　But the "mobile phone dependence" that people often call is generally an escape behavior under anxiety, boredom and other emotions. It is also a kind of "information addiction". Mobile phones can quickly provide all kinds of information that people need. Humans pursue immediate Satisfaction is also an instinct.

　　"Reliance on social media, including mobile phones, does have a great impact on our lives and work. But the score is clear: if it is not serious, it may just be a way of life." Peng Kaiping, Dean of the School of Social Sciences, Tsinghua University Explanation.

　　From a psychological point of view, some experts believe that the excessive use of modern electronic technology, including mobile phones and artificial intelligence, has begun to cause some harm to people's normal life and work, such as affecting sleep, interpersonal relationships, and so on.

People who play too many mobile phones will easily decrease their cognitive abilities." He said that some young people have "anxiety of missing information" and will also I have been searching for the latest information with my mobile phone. However, excessive information can easily cause information overload, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Real life is more exciting

　　"To get rid of'mobile phone dependence', the traditional method is physical, including self-discipline and heteronomy. For example, at home, parents can stipulate the length of time their children use mobile phones, and they can also stipulate the time to use mobile phones every day, and consciously abide by them." Peng Kaiping believes.

　　Specific to psychology, it is necessary to solve the fundamental problem of dependent emotion.

The rich and constantly updated information of mobile phones can continue to provide users with more than expected stimulation and suspense, which makes people dependent.

　　If you swipe your phone to relax, you can take sports, running and other activities that can bring people a sense of pleasure, and use positive experiences to replace "mobile phone dependence."

　　"Strengthen the social connection with friends and relatives in reality, look for common interests, values, and pursue common goals and ideals, and explore other ways to meet social needs instead of just relying on mobile phones." He said.

　　"Five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf." Sensual entertainment can bring sensory stimulation in a short period of time, but it is also easy to lose yourself.

The mobile phone is just a tool, and the role it plays depends mainly on the user.

　　When you walk out of the illusory world created by mobile phones, you will find that real life is more exciting.
