Psychologists advise to go on vacation without mobile devices

Many people feel uncomfortable without a mobile phone. However, experts are sure: if you refuse the phone, after some time the person will feel freer, writes The Daily Mail. An experiment was conducted: 24 volunteers went on vacation with restrictions on the use of a phone, tablet, laptop. They could not use either social networks or maps. Most volunteers abstained from gadgets for a day.

At the same time, they recorded changes in their emotional background. For the entire duration of the study, scientists noted signs of anxiety, frustration, and withdrawal symptoms among volunteers. However, over time, they disappeared. So, those who traveled to urban destinations were more likely to experience anxiety and frustration due to the lack of familiar navigation.

City travelers suffered from a lack of instant access to information. People who went out of town to the countryside suffered from anxiety for the reason that they could not report their security status or simply kill time. However, most travelers eventually enjoyed the trip, learned more about the sights, because they were forced to talk with other travelers and with the locals.
