Beijing (IINA) – Spending too much time on a mobile device can damage a marriage, research from the All-China’s Women’s Federation (ACWF) revealed.
The ACWF found people who spend too much time on digital devices reported significantly lower marital satisfaction than those who do not, Xinhua news agency reported.
More than 73 percent of respondents said their smartphones are switched on all day long and 43 percent use electronic devices during family get-together or when conversing with their spouse.
“Urban residents are increasingly suffering from mobile device addiction,” said Huang Huaijun, a psychologist with Central South Hospital.
Huang said overusing mobile devices can lead to grumpiness, anxiety and other emotional fluctuations if a couple fails to communicate openly. The ACWF suggests suspending mobile device use for one hour a day and investing more time in face-to-face interactions with family members. The study surveyed 31,344 people throughout the country.
