BREAKING: new study just dropped that shows compelling evidence that cell phone bans cause student grades to modestly increase.
Grade increases are largest among low performing students.
Some other interesting findings from the cell phone ban study:
Students exposed to the cell phone ban were substantially more (!) supportive of phone-use restrictions.
The ban increased students' perceptions of greater benefits from these bans and reduced students preferences for unrestricted access.
Despite a mild rise in reported fear of missing out, there were no significant changes in overall student well-being, academic motivation, digital usage, or experiences of online harassment.
