Intervention on Reducing Smartphone Use During Meals
BASIC OF PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION - PSA " Intervention on Reducing Phone Usage During Meals and Toilet Time using Operant Conditioning" Conducted by: M.
Participants first completed baseline measures of smartphone use , well-being, and cognition before choosing which intervention strategies to follow for 2 to 6 weeks. Study 1 (N=51) used a pre-post design while study 2 (N=70) compared the intervention to a control group who monitored their screen time.
A ten
Study 2 (N = 70) found that the intervention caused larger changes in screen time, problematic smartphone use , and sleep quality than a control group of screen time monitoring alone.
The widespread use of smartphones has raised concerns about problematic usage behaviors, including excessive screentime and frequent phone checking, which can disrupt daily functioning. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifaceted nudge-based intervention in reducing smartphone use through subtle changes to smartphone settings.
How can we reduce screen use during meals
Screen use includes TV, tablets, and smartphones . Research shows that children who use screens during meals often lack adequate nutrition. This association is stronger in families with lower income and education levels. So, it is important to identify strategies that help families to reduce the use of screens during meals .
Problematic smartphone use is rising across the world. We tested an intervention with ten strategies that nudge users to reduce their smartphone use , for example by disabling non-essential notifications and changing their display to greyscale. Participants first completed baseline measures of smartphone use , well-being, and cognition before choosing which intervention strategies to follow for ...
A Nudge
We tested an intervention with ten strategies that nudge users to reduce their smartphone use , for example by disabling non-essential notifications and changing their display to greyscale.
Abstract Problematic smartphone use is rising across the world and has been associated with reductions in concentration and well-being. Few interventions aiming to reduce smartphone use take a multi-faceted approach that balances feasibility and effec-tiveness. We developed such an intervention with ten simple guidelines that nudge users to reduce their screen time (e.g., disabling non ...
The effectiveness of interventions to reduce excessive mobile device ...
Discussion Application-based interventions leveraged the need for social validation and the powerful reinforcement of notifications to encourage mobile device use -limiting behaviours. The implications of the findings are discussed and directions for future research are provided.
Purpose of Review Problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) has become a public health issue. This study sought to investigate the effects of psychological interventions (PI) or exercise interventions (EI) for PMPU through a systematic review and meta-analysis. A literature search of ten databases was executed from January 2001 to August 2022. A total of 26 eligible RCTs (31 pairwise comparisons ...
