TEXTO 1
¿Revisas tu smartphone cada cinco minutos? ¿Has sentido vibraciones fantasmas?
¿Te llevas tu celular a la mesa e incluso hasta al baño? Si es así, seguramente perteneces a las millones de personas que padecen «nomofobia».
El término surgió como abreviatura de no-mobile-phone-phobia durante un estudio realizado por la empresa inglesa de investigación demoscópica You Gov, para señalar la ansiedad y angustia que produce el estar sin celular.
Si bien la denominación «fobia» podría ser incorrecta, un estudio conducido por el psicólogo Richard Balding de la Universidad de Worcester en Reino Unido, reveló que, efectivamente, el uso constante de estos aparatos aumenta los niveles de estrés, lo que a su vez incrementa los comportamientos compulsivos como el buscar incesantemen te nuevas alertas, mensajes y actualizaciones.
Durante el experimento, se les aplicó un cuestionario y una prueba psicosomática de estrés a 100 participantes, entre ellos estudiantes universitarios y empleados de diversas categorías y ocupaciones. Se confirmó la existencia de un círculo vicioso: si bien las personas adquirían el smartphone para manejar su carga de trabajo, una vez que el aparato extendía virtualmente su vida social, la angustia y el estrés se disparaban.
La inhabilidad de apagar el celular, el tenerlo siempre a la mano, el asegurarse de que nunca se acabe la pila y el miedo a perder la señal son algunos síntomas de quienes sufren altos niveles de estrés.
En México, existen más de 190 millones de smartphones: el 72% de los usuarios no salen de su casa sin su celular, según un informe realizado por Google, la consultora IPSOS y Mobile Marketing Association.
