Description

This paper intends to explore the frequency of texting and its impacts on the levels of distraction. The existing scholarly research surrounding this subject encompasses various perspectives, including the impact of texting on education, knowledge retention, and driving performance. Studies have found a positive correlation between texting as a distraction and reading in the classroom, as well as a relationship between texting and distracted driving, accounting for numerous injuries and fatalities. This study intends to fill the gap upon these previous findings by addressing whether there is a significant difference between the frequency of texts on near miss accidents and gender. Additionally, exploring the correlation between the frequency of texting on getting work done and walking.
