Why addict?

After doing some search, I found that

Cell phone over-use v.s CBT(cognitivebehavioral therapy):

Cognitive restructuring exercises are also introduced to help theperson recognize why behavioural avoidance, reassurance-seeking

behaviours and safety behaviours (e.g., the person

experiencing panic who always carries a cell phone justin case he or she needs to call for help) are unhelpful long-termstrategies.CBT has been found to be effective for all theanxiety disorders. (Center of Addiction and Mental Health)

Working as Slot machine--addictive

Brain trained to have associative learning:memory

Create an relationship between the feeling ofwinning to the act of gambling/addiction(cell

phone overuse)

During the intermittent time: your brain springsup the craving of checking cell phones


17/18

Therefore, conclusion:

Cell phone addiction is very likely arisen from:

1. a kind of cognitive behavioral disorder (anxietyof insecurity)

2.associative learning form (create associativememory, expect, and craving)

3. For young adults: to gain admission to peergroups, express opposition to adult authority, and

make a development transition into young

adulthood
