To stream or not to stream? Watching TV while eating promotes increased calorie consumption, but using a smartphone does not
Background
The integration of technology throughout daily life has become a pervasive environmental influence with wide-ranging implications, including for how we eat. Previous research demonstrates that simultaneously eating and watching television (TV) leads to increased food consumption. However, the effects of smartphone use are still uncertain as the limited existing research has yielded conflicting findings.
Method
Under the guise of being a study about multitasking, this research experimentally tested the influence of using technology (either TV or a smartphone) while eating compared to while eating undistracted among college students (N = 114).
Results
Participants ate significantly more while watching TV versus while not. This difference was not observed among those using a smartphone.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that TV viewing likely continues to promote overeating, but smartphone use may not be associated with concurrent increased consumption. Nonetheless, future research is needed to understand effects on subsequent eating as well as interactive effects between smartphone use and TV viewing in modulating eating behavior.
期刊介绍:
Physiology & Behavior is aimed at the causal physiological mechanisms of behavior and its modulation by environmental factors. The journal invites original reports in the broad area of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, in which at least one variable is physiological and the primary emphasis and theoretical context are behavioral. The range of subjects includes behavioral neuroendocrinology, psychoneuroimmunology, learning and memory, ingestion, social behavior, and studies related to the mechanisms of psychopathology. Contemporary reviews and theoretical articles are welcomed and the Editors invite such proposals from interested authors.
