High Ringxiety: Attachment Anxiety Predicts Experiences of Phantom Cell Phone Ringing.

January 2016
Article Synopsis
- Mobile phone users often experience "phantom" calls or messages, where they think their phone is ringing or vibrating, but there’s actually nothing there.
- Researchers link this phenomenon to human signal detection issues influenced by psychological factors, particularly attachment styles in relationships.
- They found that individuals with higher attachment anxiety reported more frequent phantom experiences, while those with higher avoidance reported fewer; contextual factors like expectations about calls also played a role in these experiences.
