Media multitasking in entertainment is associated with social success, increased normal conditions and increased self-management

This study investigated the effect of multitasking behavior of media on social and mental health of university students (indicated by social success, normality, and self-control measures). To address the inconsistencies found in recent literature, we describe media multitasking behavior through motivation, features, and context. In particular, with regard to social interactions, we will examine the incoming motives and challenges of the main tasks. Synchronized social interaction was found to be significantly positively correlated with social success, normality and self management. However, as anticipated, media multitasking during synchronized social interactions is associated with a reduction in social success. In addition, while media multitasking during cognitive activity is associated with a decline in self-management, media multitasking during recreational activity is associated with increased social success, normal condition, and self-management.
