Mexican teens are reporting they feel more “addicted” to their phones than their peers in other countries, new study shows.
From Twitter and Instagram to email and push alerts, mobile phones demand constant attention. Yet while such devices have transformed the lives of families across the globe, teenagers in Mexico report feeling more “addicted” to their phones than their peers in other countries, according to a new study.
The study, titled “The New Normal: Parents, Teens and Mobile Devices in Mexico,” was conducted by the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and, a nonprofit family media research firm, and was based on a survey of more than 1,200 Mexican teens and parents.
Among the key findings was that two-thirds of parents and teens in Mexico said they use their mobile device almost all the time. Compared to the other countries surveyed, more teens in Mexico feel they spend too much time on their mobile devices. In Mexico, 45 percent of teens said they spend too much time on their mobile devices, compared with 39 percent in the United States, 32 percent in the United Kingdom and 17 percent in Japan.
