What happened next was relatively easy in comparison to some of our other projects. After a dedicated graduate assistant entered the data into a spreadsheet, a path analysis revealed that each of the hypothesized relationships were significant and in the hypothesized direction. Furthermore, all of the fit indices suggested a very good model. Thus, there was no need to develop and test alternatives. The central finding was this: cell phone use was negatively related to GPA and positively related to anxiety. Following this, GPA was positively related to happiness while anxiety was negatively related to happiness. Thus, for the population studied, high frequency cell phone users tended to have lower GPA, higher anxiety, and diminished happiness relative to their peers who used the cell phone less often. We carefully prepared a manuscript highlighting previous research and presenting our own findings. We submitted it to the journal Computers in Human Behavior. This was our first choice because much of the research we reviewed had been published there, the journal is highly respected, and it has a well-developed online presence. The journal's reviewers and editors provided positive feedback and helpful comments for fine tuning the manuscript. It was accepted with only minor revisions and soon after published online.
