If the ring, beep or buzz of your cell phone triggers an intense urge to respond, and you find yourself reaching for the phone - even when you're driving - you're not alone.

A new survey commissioned by AT&T and Dr. David Greenfield, founder of The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at The University of Connecticut School of Medicine, found that twice as many people as self-reported cell phone addiction are showing compulsive phone behaviors - with three-in-four people admitting to at least glancing at their phones while behind the wheel.

The study, fielded as part of the Texting & Driving … It Can Wait® campaign, was released as AT&T focuses on helping people find ways to resist the urge to text and drive at a potentially deadly moment of temptation.
