Problematic smartphone use: A conceptual overview and systematic review of relations with anxiety and depression psychopathology.
TL;DR: A systematic review of the relationship between problematic use with psychopathology and the severity of psychopathology found depression severity was consistently related to problematic smartphone use, demonstrating at least medium effect sizes.

Pedestrian injuries due to mobile phone use in public places
Jack L. Nasar,Derek Troyer +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that mobile-phone related injuries among pedestrians increased relative to total pedestrian injuries, and paralleled the increase in injuries for drivers, and in 2010 exceeded those for drivers.

Impact of social and technological distraction on pedestrian crossing behaviour: an observational study
Leah L. Thompson,Frederick P. Rivara,Frederick P. Rivara,Rajiv C Ayyagari,Beth E. Ebel,Beth E. Ebel +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest the need for intervention studies to reduce risk of pedestrian injury and increase crossing times, with text messaging associated with the highest risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between anxiety symptom severity and problematic smartphone use: A review of the literature and conceptual frameworks.
TL;DR: The literature studying relations between problematic smartphone use (PSU) and anxiety symptom severity is examined, and an own theoretical model of how PSU is specifically related to anxiety is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of mobile internet use on college student pedestrian injury risk
TL;DR: Pedestrian behavior was influenced, and generally considerably riskier, when participants were simultaneously using mobile Internet and crossing the street than when crossed the street with no distraction, reinforcing the need for increased awareness concerning the risks of distracted pedestrian behavior.

Role of mobile phones in motor vehicle crashes resulting in hospital attendance: a case-crossover study
S. P. McEvoy,Mark Stevenson,Anne Taylor McCartt,Mark Woodward,Claire Haworth,P. Palamara,Rina Cercarelli +6 more
TL;DR: When drivers use a mobile phone there is an increased likelihood of a crash resulting in injury, and using a hands-free phone is not any safer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Text Messaging During Simulated Driving
TL;DR: Text messaging while driving has a negative impact on simulated driving performance, and this negative impact appears to exceed the impact of conversing on a cell phone while driving.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobile telephones, distracted attention, and pedestrian safety
TL;DR: For pedestrians as with drivers, cognitive distraction from mobile phone use reduces situation awareness, increases unsafe behavior, putting pedestrians at greater risk for accidents, and crime victimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Text Messaging on Young Drivers
TL;DR: The detrimental effects of text messaging on driving performance that may underlie such increased crash risk are identified and more effective road safety measures are needed to prevent and mitigate the adverse effects ondriving performance of using cell phones to retrieve and send text messages.
