大多数关于手机使用的研究都集中在青少年和年轻的成年人用户身上，对25岁以上的人使用手机的关注较少。在这项研究中，18至68岁的成年参与者完成了一项关于他们自己使用手机的调查，以及他们认为使用手机是合适的。对于何时使用手机是适当的，人们对礼仪的看法存在年龄和性别差异。年长的参与者和妇女主张在大多数社交场合限制使用手机。男性与女性的不同之处在于，他们认为手机通话在几乎所有的环境中都更合适，包括亲密的环境。在所有通信环境中的所有年龄组中，手机都被用来发短信。唯一的例外是，浪漫的伴侣更有可能收到电话而不是短信。在年轻的年龄组中，发短信交流是如此规范，以至于超过25%的人已经被浪漫的伴侣甩了。性别相似性的优势表明手机的使用是保持社会联系的稳定通信工具。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The majority of research on cell phone use has focused on adolescent and young adult users with less attention on cell phone use by those older than 25 years of age. In this study, adult participants from 18 to 68 years completed a survey about their own use of cell phones and the contexts in which they considered cell phone use appropriate. There were age and gender differences in beliefs about the etiquette as to when cell phone use was appropriate. Older participants and women advocated for more restricted cell phone use in most social situations. Men differed from women in that they viewed cell phone calls as more appropriate in virtually all environments including intimate settings. Across all age groups in all communication settings, cell phones were used to text. The only exception was that romantic partners were more likely to receive a call than a text. In the younger age groups, texting communication is so normative that over 25% had dumped or were dumped by a romantic partner. The preponderance of gender similarities point to cell phone usage as a stable communication vehicle for maintaining social contact. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
