Abstract

This study explored the effects of media multitasking on the choice and consumption of snack foods. Participants in four experimental conditions used either one medium or several media while having access to healthful and energy-dense, nutrient-poor (EDNP) snacks. Participants who snacked during the study were more likely to pick and eat EDNP snacks. Fewer healthful than EDNP snacks were chosen and eaten in TV/texting/online reading condition, which was rated more negatively than the other three conditions. The more positively a media use situation was evaluated, the more healthful snacks participants chose and ate. The findings are discussed using the theoretical perspectives of limited capacity and cognitive load, self-regulation and regulatory focus, and approach-avoidance system. The cognitive and emotional nature of each media use condition was considered to explain the results.

屏幕超载:与不愉快的多任务处理相比，愉快地使用屏幕设备会导致选择健康的零食而不是不健康的零食

本研究探讨了媒体多任务处理对零食选择和消费的影响。在四种实验条件下，参与者使用一种或几种培养基，同时获得健康和高能量，营养不良(EDNP)零食。在研究期间吃零食的参与者更有可能选择和吃EDNP零食。在电视/短信/网络阅读条件下选择和食用的零食健康程度不如EDNP，其负面评价高于其他三种情况。媒体使用情况越积极，参与者选择和吃的健康零食越多。本文从有限能力与认知负荷、自我调节与调节焦点、方法回避系统等理论角度对研究结果进行了探讨。每种媒体使用条件的认知和情感性质被认为可以解释结果。
