Cell Phone Usage and GPA Of Undergrad Students

This article is about a study that the Psychology Department of Shippensburg University had conducted. They got together a total of 118 undergrad students, 38 men and 80 women. These students took an anonymous survey about their cell phone usage and grade point average, as well as demographic information. The result revealed that there were negative results between the number of texts/calls a student sends and their grade point average. One surprising thing that the study discovered is that, the more comfortable the student was with texting during class the better the GPA the student had.  I had never really thought about wether being comfortable to text in class would have an impact on my GPA. So, I looked at the classes I am taking and my grades. Indeed the classes that I am more comfortable using my phone in I have a better grade. I don't know wether that is a coincidence or not, but I found it very interesting.
