The Psychology Behind Headphones
pvt_medic writes "The BBC has an interesting article today about portable music players and personal space. The article is on the research that Dr Michael Bull has done on portable music players. He analyzes them as a "tool whereby users manage space, time and the boundaries around the self." This article goes on to analyze the social and psychological aspects related to listening to music in public with headphones. A good quick read for those who do this."

Read the title - it has the word "psychology" in it. That should tell you all you need to know.

Some women use earphones to deflect unwanted attention, finding it easier to avoid responding because they look already occupied.
Another thing that would help is if they stopped dressing like tramps. If your skirt barely reaches past the hairs on your snatch and you keep breaking buttons because your breasts are bursting out of your too-small-shirt, aren't you sort of expecting and wanting attention?
