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
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.
There were maybe some potential drawbacks.
Spot checks of classrooms in the study revealed that students in the banned classes appear more distracted, possibly due to withdrawal from habitual phone checking.
However, students did not report being more distracted.
Ultimately, the authors of the study conclude:
"[Our] results suggest that in-class phone bans represent a low-cost, effective policy to modestly improve academic outcomes, especially for vulnerable student groups, while enhancing student receptivity to digital policy
