Abstract

Because our minds frequently drift away, an investigation into mind wandering while using information technology (IT) is critical. Despite growing interest in mind-wandering episodes in various domains, the discipline of Information Systems (IS) still lacks a validated measurement instrument that can account for the technology-related facets of the phenomenon. Our work addresses this gap and presents the results of a comprehensively developed scale that is specifically designed for IS scenarios. Using existing literature and the results of a pilot study (N = 35), a field study (N = 364), and a cross-validation sample (N = 336), we developed a new instrument that allows mind wandering while using technology to be measured either as a state (MWS) or as a trait with two subtypes (MWT-D: deliberate, and MWT-S: spontaneous). Whereas MWS captures a momentary mental state or a sequence of mental states that arise relatively freely while using technology in a given moment, MWT-D and MWT-S capture either intentional or unintentional, internally focused thoughts in technology-related settings in everyday life. Our scale is well suited to support future research to investigate the effects of mind wandering in technology-related settings and to study its implications for IS-relevant dependent variables, such as task performance and creativity.
信息技术使用中的思维漫游:规模发展与交叉验证
由于我们的思维经常走神,因此对使用信息技术(IT)时的思维走神进行调查至关重要。尽管在各个领域对走神事件的兴趣日益浓厚,但信息系统学科(IS)仍然缺乏一种有效的测量工具,可以解释这种现象与技术相关的方面。我们的工作解决了这一差距,并展示了专门为is场景设计的综合开发量表的结果。利用现有文献和一项初步研究(N = 35)、一项实地研究(N = 364)和一个交叉验证样本(N = 336)的结果,我们开发了一种新的仪器,可以在使用技术时将走神作为一种状态(MWS)或两种亚型(MWT-D:故意的,MWT-S:自发的)的特征进行测量。MWS捕捉的是在特定时刻使用技术时产生的瞬间心理状态或一系列相对自由的心理状态,而MWT-D和MWT-S捕捉的是在日常生活中与技术相关的环境中有意或无意的、内部集中的思想。我们的量表非常适合支持未来的研究,以调查在与技术相关的环境中走神的影响,并研究其对is相关的因变量(如任务表现和创造力)的影响。
