“In a world where people are constantly looking for simple answers and solutions (e.g. Is technology good or bad?), the fact is that the impact of technology (and in this study, texting specifically) differs based on the interaction between multiple things (in this study, personality characteristics and people’s motivations for texting),” said co-author Leora Trub, an associate professor of psychology at Pace University.
Professor Leora Trub speaks with the Washington Post about people sending voice notes more often than text messages as a way to take break from looking at their phone screen.
