除了是世界上最大的社交网络，Facebook对许多人来说也是最大的数字分心来源之一。对于学生来说，有问题的使用与对学业成绩和总体健康的负面影响有关。为了了解哪些策略可以帮助用户重新获得控制权，我们调查了对Facebook UI的简单干预如何影响行为和感知控制。我们将58名大学生分配到三种干预措施中的一种：目标提醒，删除新闻源或白色背景（对照）。我们记录了6周的使用情况，在中间几周进行干预，并每两周进行一次调查。目标提醒和删除新闻源都有助于参与者专注于任务，避免分心。然而，目标提醒通常令人讨厌，删除新闻推送会让一些人担心错过信息。我们的研究结果指出，未来的干预措施，如控制调整类型和数量的可用信息，和灵活的块匹配的个人定义的“分心”。
Beyond being the world's largest social network, Facebook is for many also one of its greatest sources of digital distraction. For students, problematic use has been associated with negative effects on academic achievement and general wellbeing. To understand what strategies could help users regain control, we investigated how simple interventions to the Facebook UI affect behaviour and perceived control. We assigned 58 university students to one of three interventions: goal reminders, removed newsfeed, or white background (control). We logged use for 6 weeks, applied interventions in the middle weeks, and administered fortnightly surveys. Both goal reminders and removed newsfeed helped participants stay on task and avoid distraction. However, goal reminders were often annoying, and removing the newsfeed made some fear missing out on information. Our findings point to future interventions such as controls for adjusting types and amount of available information, and flexible blocking which matches individual definitions of 'distraction'.
