When frequent media multitaskers perform worse and when they do not: The role of self-regulation ability and strategy manipulation
作者:
Highlights:
• Frequent media multitasking is not always related to poor multitasking performance.
• The relationship depends on self-regulation ability and external factors.
• High media multitaskers, when low on self-regulation ability, task-switched more.
• They exhibited poorer multitasking performance when they could freely task-switch.
• The effect was non-significant when tasks were performed sequentially.
