Testing the feasibility of a media multitasking self-regulation intervention for students: Behaviour change, attention, and self-perception

作者:

Highlights:

• Media multitasking (MMT) has been associated with adverse cognitive outcomes.

• We investigate the feasibility of an MMT self-regulation intervention for students.

• While more single-tasking, no effect on trait-level cognitive control was observed.

• MMT Self-regulation engendered greater cognisance and meta-cognition of behaviour.

• Key differences between trait and state level effects are described.
