摘要 研究表明，学生经常使用数字设备来完成任务，但人们对这一活动所涉及的心理动态知之甚少。因此，本文对学生如何体验和应对数字干扰进行了现象学研究。根据定性访谈，研究表明，数字化分心的主要挑战之一是它经常习惯性地发生：学生经常“发现”或“发现”自己分心了。为了应对这种从开始分心到意识到分心之间的滞后现象，他们设置了绊脚石，以防止分心在这种前反思水平上展开。例如，关闭笔记本电脑可以将分心从习惯性发生的“小点击”转变为需要积极决策的“整个行动”。有时，学生会使用数字工具来完全阻止分心的可能性。这些发现表明，自我控制是明智地重组周围环境以避免屈服于诱惑的问题。
ABSTRACT Studies show that students often use digital devices for off-task purposes, but little is known about the psychological dynamics involved in this activity. The present article therefore offers a phenomenological study of how students experience and cope with digital distraction. Drawing on qualitative interviews, it is demonstrated that one of the major challenges with digital distraction is that it often occurs habitually: Students often ‘find’ or ‘catch’ themselves being distracted. To cope with this lag between initiating and becoming aware of distraction, they set up stumbling blocks that prevent distraction from unfolding on this prereflective level. Closing the laptop, for instance, transforms distraction from being a ‘small click’ that occurs habitually to becoming an ‘entire action’ that requires active decision-making. Sometimes, students employ digital tools that block the possibility of distraction altogether. These findings suggest that self-control is a matter of intelligently restructuring one’s surroundings to avoid succumbing to temptation.
