How your cell phone reveals key traits of your personality

Description

A study led by Jesper Kjeldskov from the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University explores the psychological effects of mobile phone size. The research suggests that those who prefer smaller screens value simplicity, reflecting a more traditional lifestyle. The study is part of a wider body of research indicating that mobile phone usage patterns and characteristics can reveal key personality traits of the user. "Smartphones are miniature digital versions of the user, and many of us do not like it when other people use our phone, because it can reveal a lot about us," comments Heather Shaw, a psychologist at the University of Lincoln.
