Abstract
The experiment will review the relationship between cell phone use in the morning and feelings of control outcomes and productivity throughout the day. We plan to assign participants into three groups: one being instructed to scroll their phones during the first hour of waking, a control group told to do what they usually would, and a third group to refrain from scrolling during their first hour of waking. After the first hour, all the participants will be asked to complete a short daily survey covering the confounds and contributing to the results. We plan to collect data through a pre-and post-survey to evaluate feelings of control. We will experiment from a Monday to a Sunday, lasting a week. The Participants will be randomly assigned to each group, taking the sample from lower level Psychology classes to provide Sona credits. The experiment aims to see if someone should refrain from using their cell phone in the first hour of the day. Very little literature goes over good practices at the beginning of the day through the morning routine. This applied research might help find a better path to set you up for success rather than a day of willpower to get responsibilities done.
