Brandon S. Your to-do list seems pretty solid, Annette.

Maybe we could add something like a "causes," or possible implications that contributes to the development of nomophobia, only if we come across any theories in our research.

The only other thing that I could maybe think of adding is a collective discussion on maybe the future of nomophobia. Two problems with that though: 1-not sure if that would be a wikipedia article thing and, 2-not sure if that would be included in implications.

Other than that, I don't really see any way of modifying your to-do list, like our professor said, you're on top of it.

Brandon S: I'm not sure if this assignment is due at 11:59 p.m. or before class. If it is due at 11:59, I wouldn't meeting after class to discuss quickly who wants to do what--I think a real-time discussion would be be better than on this talk page. It would just take us a few minutes, and I say we just meet in that lounge with the pop machine by the main entrance to the building. After we discuss, than relay that information onto this talk page for our professor. It's just an idea.

If our assignment is due before class, you two go ahead and pick something and I'll just pick up that needs to be done after you two decide. I'm not too fussy as long as it's fair. Schutze394 (talk) 06:47, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Jimena Schroeder In the past decade technology became a relevant part of our lives. Since the invention of the mobile phone, interpersonal relationships began to change in a significant rate that was covered by the excitement of a new invention. these new types of communication have given birth to a new disorder. Nomophobia is the fear of being without a mobile phone; it is a recent term that describes problems of the current society, but is unidentified by the social acceptance of mobile phones.
 * Lead

The term nomophobia was created during a research conducted by YouGov sponsored by the UK Post Office the term comes from the words No Mobile Phobia (No-Mo-Phobia), the research was looking for anxieties caused by mobile phones. The study found that 53 percent of users of mobiles tempt to be anxious when they run out of credit, lose signal, lose their phone. (Tim Elmore 2014).

Great start!
Jimena and Annette are really on top of this. Brandon, please edit what they've done, rather than starting new sections. J.R. Council (talk) 05:30, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Scoring so far
From what I can tell, Annette has made some minor edits and added 2 references, for a total of 3 points. J.R. Council (talk) 04:12, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Brandon's Stuff
Common validated Psychometric Scales: Questionnaire of Dependence of Mobile Phone/Test of Mobile Phone Dependence, Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire, Perceived Dependence on Mobile Phone. (See in-article reference 40, 41, and 33) Schutze394 (talk) 18:19, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Right now, there is few scholarly accepted treatments methods. Promising methods may include a combination of psychotherapy and pharmacological intervention. Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy seems to be effective, however, lack randomized trails. Schutze394 (talk) 18:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Another possible treatment is "Reality Approach," asking patient to focus behaviors away from cell phones. . Schutze394 (talk) 18:37, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

In extreme or severe cases, neuropsychopharmacology may be advantageous, ranging from benzodiazepines to antidepressants in usual doses. Patients were successfully treated using tranylcypromine 20mg/day, gradually increases to 40 mg/day, combined with cloanzepam .5 mg/day, increased to 1 mg/day. (secondary source from ref. 1, !!Find original if possible!! Edit: Annette has source, get from her.)Schutze394 (talk) 18:45, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Cognitive Behavioral Treatment techniques of "in vivo" exposure (need to clarify this) reduced time using computers and relieved symptoms of social phobia disorder. Schutze394 (talk) 20:10, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Bivin et al. (2013) found that out of 547 male, undergraduate students in health sciences, 64% were at risk of nomophobia and 23% were nomophobes. This could highlight an emerging problem. Also, Binin Et al. (2013) researched a United Kingdom study that found that out of 2,163 people, 53% tended to be anxious when not in contact of phones Schutze394 (talk) 20:18, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

For Jimena and Annette

Bargazzi & Puente (2014) Talks about something called "Techno-stress," which is linked to lack of face-to-face communication, interference with social interactions, disturbed and negative feelings, isolation, alienation, financial problems, physical and psychological pathologies, and car accidents. Top right paragraph on page 156.Schutze394 (talk) 18:50, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Nomophobia might be a mask for social phobia disorder. Excessive use of technology may be a way to establish personal and social relationships while escaping reality. This could be an attempt to increase a sense a personal security while reducing social anxiety. Schutze394 (talk) 19:37, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Evidence that nomophobia could meet the components of an addiction: Excessive Use: lost of time and self neglect. Withdrawal: feelings of anger, tension, depression, etc. when phone cannot be accessed. (Techno-stress?). Tolerance: Always looking for an upgrade in technology. And Negative Repercussions: poor achievement, social isolation, and fatigue.

Junk:

I removed this line from the main article because I felt it did not belong at all. I know there is a history, but I figured I'd dump the line wholesale here just in case.Schutze394 (talk) 21:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Michael Quinion characterized the word as "dreadful faux-Greek" and observed that a more suitable sense of nomophobia – since Greek nomos means "law" – is "a neurotic fear of the law".

Comments!!
Annette,

King 2010 keeps popping up in my reading and I noticed that you have the article under your references. I was wondering, if you could, send that to me at your leisure, if you have a digital copy.

Brandon. Schutze394 (talk) 19:41, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Brandon - Sorry for the late response. But here is the link to the article King, 2010 PDF Link Big text Annetteruiz (talk) 17:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi guys; My concern about Nomophobia is that it might actually be a reinforcement for some disorders like social phobia. In the case of social phobia they wouldn't have to interact with people face to face because they would always have their phone to do it. In other disorders like Agoraphobia it would actually be a good thing because having a phone always with them would assure the individual that he would always have a way to get help; but it could develop nomophobia because they would be anxious about losing the phone. So it concerns me that it might not present by itself it would always have to come in hand with a bigger disorder. Some references i found in the database:

My question for you Dr. Council is that if it would be okay to set first a little of history about the background of this "disorder" (there is an article that touches the history part)?. Also, explain that Nomophobia usually comes as a result of another anxiety related disorder. And finally, remind the reader that this term is not included in the DSM V so technically speaking is not a disorder yet, and we could back up that with a journal that explains a reasearch that was conducted to prove that Nomophobia should be added to the DSM V but the results were not statistically significant to prove such thing. (the article name is "A proposal for including nomophobia in the DSM-V."

Jimena.schroeder (talk) 19:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)Jimena Schroeder

Hi Jimena, I found a couple articles on Google Scholar. - Annette Ruiz My concern with this topic is along the lines with what Brandon mentioned because of the increased used of cell phones today this concept is still new and that it may be difficult to find scholarly published research journals on EBSCO. Taking into consideration the rise in smartphones (or mobile phones), I can see how not having a cell phone with you can cause anxiety in today's increased technological world because it's sort of become "norm" in our cultural. This brings me to my questions for Dr. Council: Since Nomophobia has not been classified as disorder in the DSM-V; Should we try to find studies that actually focused on people who were went through intervention - in other words participants were not allowed to use their cell phones for certain period and back up research demonstrating the seriousness of this new anxiety? Should we provide more information on it could be classified as a phobia in the future? Annetteruiz (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello guys. Okay, my biggest concern for nomophobia is that the idea is a rather new concept. I believe that the term Nomophobia is not really an official term yet. Just something to keep in mind when researching. It might be helpful to search anxiety over cell phone usage and addiction if we hit any walls.

As for you, Dr. James Council, my questions are: would researching the spreading usage of cell phones and their effects on society--rather that be academic, professional, or personal--be a good idea or would that be too side-tracked for what we want in a wikipedia article? I would not write a whole lot on this, but a little discussion would be useful background. J.R. Council (talk) 17:06, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Secondly, on that same thought, when we are searching through and reading articles, what would be a good mind-set, what should we be looking for to make a good wikipedia article? Good example, one of my references below is about cell phone addiction and the effects of sleep. Health. Would that be good to put into a wikipedia article? Or again, is that too side-tracked? Might sound like a dump question, but knowing your opinion would be helpful--to me, at least. Schutze394 (talk) 16:33, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Main Article Edits
Nomophobia is the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.[1][2][3] It is, however, arguable that the word 'phobia' is misused and that in the majority of cases it is only a normal anxiety.[4] The term, an abbreviation for "no-mobile-phone phobia",[5] was coined during a 2010 study by the UK Post Office who commissioned YouGov, a UK-based research organization to look at anxieties suffered by mobile phone users. The study found that nearly 53% of mobile phone users in Britain tend to be anxious when they "lose their mobile phone, run out of battery or credit, or have no network coverage". The study found that about 58% of men and 47% of women suffer from the phobia, and an additional 9% feel stressed when their mobile phones are off. The study sampled 2,163 people. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed cited keeping in touch with friends or family as the main reason that they got anxious when they could not use their mobile phones.[6][2] The study compared stress levels induced by the average case of nomophobia to be on-par with those of "wedding day jitters" and trips to the dentists.[7] Another study found that out of 547 male, undergraduate students in Health Services that 23% of the students were classified as nomophobic while an additional 64% were at risk of developing nomophobia. Of these students, ~77% checked their mobile phones 35 or more times a day.[8]

More than one in two nomophobes never switch off their mobile phones.[9] The study and subsequent coverage of the phobia resulted in two editorial columns authored by those who minimize their mobile phone use or choose not to own one at all, treating the condition with light undertones of or outright disbelief and amusement.[10][11]

Currently, scholarly accepted and empirically proven treatments are very limited due to it's relatively new concept. However, promising treatments include cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and combined with pharmacological interventions. [12] Treatments using tranylcypromine and clonazepam were successful in reducing the effects of nomophobia.

Dr. Council's comments on Assignment 7
J.R. Council (talk) 22:27, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) First, the assignment said to develop the article in the Sandbox, not the talk page. Please move the main article you will be working on to the Sandbox. This page comes up as User talk:Jimena.schroeder/sandbox. Please put the article on User:Jimena.schroeder/sandbox. (I know this may be confusing, but humor me.)
 * 2) That said, it looks like you've come up with a lot of good material for developing your article. I think it will end up being a nice piece of work. Keep filling in your outline.
 * 3) I'm surprised that Jimena has not done more, considering that the topic was her idea. Seeing much more activity from Annette and Brandon.
 * 4) My best suggestion for fleshing this out is to take what you've written in the section, Main Article Edits, and break it out into subsections. This will generate an outline in a box. You've got material for an introduction, and discussions of how much of a problem this really is, research findings, and treatment. I see there's at least one questionnaire, which you could describe as well.

 * (King, A., 2014) Article provides information on nomophobia, the researchers methods consisted of a questionnaire on mobile-phone use, routine of mobile phone use, and symptoms reported with or without a mobile phone. Two groups were separated; 50 patients with PD + agrophobia & 70 volunteers without any known illnesses. Annetteruiz (talk) 18:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Anxiety
 * includes feelings of anguish, nervousness, fear

Ringxiety
 * falsely hearing the phone ring, checking the phone multiple times for a text or phone call

Techno-distress
 * includes social isolation (Bargazzi, 2014)

Below are symptoms + Signs I took from the following article: Bragazzi, N. L., & Puente, G. D. (2014).
An example provided on (Bragazzi, N.L., 2014) article was, that individuals who rather communicate through mobile-phone will most likely avoid any face to face interaction. Shows that the individual could engage in stress + anxiety. For instance, the individual will purchase items online and handle payments online rather than having that face-to-face interaction (Bragazzi, N.L., 2014). contribs) 18:33, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * techno-distress (Bragazzi, N.L., 2014)
 * over-connection syndrome (Bragazzi, N.L., 2014)
 * sense of urgency or sensation seeking to use mobile-phone (Bragazzi, N.L., 2014)
 * debt due to excessive mobile phone use(Bragazzi, N.L., 2014)

I added two research experiments and expanded the symptoms section on Jimenas Sandbox. However, I was unable to sign my posts with the tildes for some reason I am still having issues with that.
Annetteruiz 02:44, 14 April 2015 (UTC) J.R. Council (talk) 22:25, 15 April 2015 (UTC) I'm checking out what's going on with the tildes. J.R. Council (talk) 22:25, 15 April 2015 (UTC) J.R.

Looking good!
This is starting to look pretty good. You have developed the content pretty well. At this point, I see two main areas for improvement: J.R. Council (talk) 03:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC) These are easy fixes. You are almost ready to publish. J.R. Council (talk) 03:18, 13 April 2015 (UTC) J.R. Council (talk) 22:33, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) You need to write a good introductory paragraph. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section to see what I mean.
 * 2) You need to proofread this carefully. Like I said, the content is there. However, the writing is choppy and there are typos and grammatical errors. Read through carefully and make this something you are proud of.
 * 3) Remember to sign your work so I can give you credit for it. Also remember that you have to be logged onto Wikipedia so that when you sign your work with 4 tildes it will show your name and the time/date.
 * 4) Finally, your reference citations don't look right. Use the information I've given you (E.g., I posted an announcement on Blackboard last week) to figure out how to do proper references.
 * Everything is looking good. Keep proofreading for grammatical errors. Polish up intro, fix reference citations, and you're ready to go. Let me know when you're ready to send this off to Ian at Wiki Ed. Soon would be nice.

Very close now - what you need to do
Please see my previous comments from April 15. They still apply. Some specifics: Email me when you do these things, and I will send link to Ian. J.R. Council (talk) 04:39, 24 April 2015 (UTC) J.R. Council (talk) 22:52, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) The intro section should not have a title. Delete section title.
 * 2) Intro is too long. This should be a synopsis of the article. See my previous link to instructions for lead section. Move most of the second paragraph to 'Symtoms and signs' - whatever is not redundant.
 * 3) Need to clean the article up. Delete comments - they don't fit with main article.
 * I re-wrote the intro paragraph to correct some grammatical errors. You also need to provide reference information and proper citation for Bianchi and Philips (2005). I would also delete the first sentence in the Research evidence section.
 * In general, this needs some careful proofreading. However, I am going to send the link to Ian now, so I'm not sending him a whole bunch of articles at once. He will give you good feedback.
 * I sent the link to your article to Ian on Monday. He usually returns feedback very quickly. He must have missed my email (I'm sure he gets tons of email). Anyway, just sent him a reminder. Hopefully he'll get back today or tomorrow. J.R. Council (talk) 22:18, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Nice work expanding this article. A few things to do before you merge this with the nomophobia article


 * Reference #3 isn't properly cited. As it says under "to cite this article":
 * Adriana Bianchi and Dr. James G. Phillips. CyberPsychology & Behavior. February 2005, 8(1): 39-51. doi:10.1089/cpb.2005.8.39.
 * Reference #12 isn't properly cited either.
 * Don't forget to remove your signatures from the text before you add this to the article. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:18, 1 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Just adding this to notify Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:21, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

I checked our article for spelling and grammar and made some minor revisions. I think it looks good! However I tried to fix reference # 3 and 12 and I could figure out how to properly cite them.
