Testing the Feasibility of a Media Multitasking Self-regulation Intervention for Students: Behaviour Change, Attention, and Self-percep

Media multitasking has been linked, in particular, to the executive or cognitive control mechanisms thought to be responsible for the execution of goal-directed behavior.
The current study examines the viability of a self-regulation based media multitasking intervention for a student population in response to calls for investigations into the remedial efficacy of therapies targeting media multitasking and associated cognitive impacts.

What is essential for behavior change?

Four feasibility dimensions—demand, implementation, acceptability, and efficacy—were examined through a mixed-methods study that included a between-subjects, pre/post experimental design, usage tracking, and follow-up interviews. The results show that greater media behavior awareness is essential for behavior change and goal alignment, that these behavioral changes were perceived to enable more instances of single-tasking, goal-oriented task execution and, as a result, engender state-level changes in attentional strategies, and that short-term behavioral changes do not always imply trait-level changes in cognitive functioning.

The main ramifications for media impacts research in general and for research on media-related interference in particular are highlighted.
