Using starting point, explains:...
The authors explore patterns of smartphone use during the first weeks following outbreak coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in Belgium, focusing on citizens’ smartphones to consume news and communicate interact with others. Unique tracking data from 2,778 Flemish adults reveal that at height outbreak, people used their average 45 minutes (28 percent) more than before outbreak. number pickups remained fairly stable over this period. This means average, users did not turn frequently but them...
How much we sleep at night is believed to impact next-day emotional experiences. Yet, theexisting research encumbered by methodological limitations. To address this issue harnessedexperience sampling data (68,232 observations across 10,905 days) from 1,415 Belgianparticipants examine whether normal variations in duration linearly or nonlinearlyinfluence fatigue, stress, happiness, anxiety, despondence, and calmness. We tested8,960 models as part of a multiverse analyses non-pre-registered...
How much we sleep at night is believed to impact next-day affective experiences. Yet, the existing research encumbered by methodological limitations. To address this issue harnessed experience sampling data (68,232 observations across 10,905 days) from 1,415 Belgian participants examine whether normal variations in duration linearly or nonlinearly influence fatigue, stress, happiness, anxiety, despondence, and calmness. We also tested people that less on average benefit more a standard...
Abstract This manuscript presents findings from a preregistered mixed-method study involving 67,762 ecological momentary assessments and behavioral smartphone observations 1,315 adults. The investigates (a) associations between mindless scrolling, goal conflict, guilt over use, (b) whether experiences during the day culminate into lower well-being. Results indicate that individuals experienced more their use when they had mindlessly scrolled for longer period conflict partially mediated this...
As the Vrije Universiteit Brussel switched from an in-house built CRIS to Pure, a large number of data quality issues were discovered. In order solve these, large-scale assessment and improvement program was started. The sought find prioritize cleaning tasks along different dimensions, such as reusability complexity, while taking into account compliance stakeholder happiness. Moreover, in doing these assessments, attempt made isolate relatively easy clean parts make them more feasible for...
This mixed-methods study investigates whether online vigilance promotes mental fatigue, and this effect is greater when under pressure to be available online. Additionally, it examines passively sensed smartphone behavior can serve as a digital proxy for vigilance. Data were collected from 1,315 adult participants, who received 84 experience sampling questionnaires over 14 days, providing 67,762 usable datapoints on individuals’ perceptions of momentary vigilance, availability pressure. the...
Microtransactions have become an integral part of the digital game industry. This has spurred researchers to explore effects this monetization strategy on players’ enjoyment and intention continue using game. Hitherto, these relationships were exclusively investigated cross-sectional survey designs. However, self-report measures tend be only mildly correlated with actual media consumption. Moreover, designs do not allow for a detailed investigation into temporal dimension associations. To...
