Students’ Perceptions of Cell Phones and Emotional Behaviour of Undergraduates in Nigerian Universities
The study examined students’ perceptions of cell phones and emotional behaviour patterns in Nigerian universities. A total number of 140 students were randomly selected from three universities. The subjects were exposed to Cell Phone Perception Questionnaire (CPQ) consisting of 17 items. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The data were analysed using chi-square statistics. Results showed that emotional reactions and sleep were not significantly related to students’ perceptions of cell phone while types of messages received and financial addiction implications were significantly related to students’ perceptions of cell phones.
