Infants' physiological and behavioral reactivity to maternal mobile phone use – An experimental study

作者:

Highlights:

• Infants who were experimentally exposed to maternal mobile phone use exhibited increases in heart rate and negative affect.

• Infants in the social-disruptions and undisrupted-play conditions showed lower physiological and behavioral reactivity.

• Practical guidelines should be formulated to encourage thoughtful mobile device use during parent-child interactions.
