📍Interestingly, most co-present phone use happens at the situational level. 📊
About 73% of the variation in phone use occurred between situations rather than between individuals (ICC = 0.27), showing how strongly context shapes behavior. (5/6)

📍We found that technical and spatial (but not mental) cues play an important role in co-present use. People were more likely to use their phones when they received notifications and when others were also using phones. FoMO and relatedness need experiences were not related to co-present use. (4/6)

We ran a 7-day experience sampling study with 87 participants reporting on 829 social interactions. The study was preregistered, and all materials, data, and code are available at osf.io/jcvf7/. (3/6)

Most research on co-present smartphone use focuses on stable traits like age or personality. We took a situational perspective, examining how different connection cues (technical, spatial, and mental cues) relate to smartphone use during everyday social interactions. (2/6)
