2020 May, Kelcie Ralph, Ian Girardeau, “Distracted by “distracted pedestrians”?”, in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, volume 5:

Practitioners were more concerned about distracted walking if they primarily use a car or spend little time in pedestrian-oriented areas (windshield bias), or if they work in engineering or public health (professional training).
