Most of us have cell phones. But little is yet known about the psychological effects of the cell phone. Is it changing the way we relate to each other and if so, is it for better or worse? How can psychologists research these questions? This program examines researching young people's use of cell phones with three different non-experimental methods. We see the research taking place which is inter-cut with the researchers explaining their methods and findings, young people's views on cell phones and expert analysis. The program is divided into three linked but self-standing sections: Questionnaire Surveys, Interviews, and Naturalistic Observation.
