| description | <p>Procrastination on social networking sites (SNS) can impact academic performance and user’s well-being. SNSs embed features that encourage users to be always connected and updated, e.g., the notification features. Such persuasive features can exploit peer pressure as well and lead users to believe they are expected to interact immediately, especially for those who may have less impulse control and seek for relatedness and popularity. We argue that SNS can be built to host countermeasures for such behavior and help people regulate their usage and preoccupation about it better. In this paper, we presented a mixed-method study including a qualitative (i.e., focus groups, diary, interviews, and co-design) and a quantitative phase (i.e., a survey) with 334 participants. Through the qualitative phase, we identified: (1) features of an SNS seen by participants as facilitators for procrastination, e.g., notification, immersive design, and surveillance of presence, and (2) countermeasures, such as reminders, chat timer, and goal setting, can be facilitated via SNS design to combat procrastination, and (3) a pairing between the features and the countermeasures. We then (4) confirmed these results and the pairing through the survey phase. Our study showed that countermeasures could be implemented to be universal across all SNS on one or even more device.</p> <p>Prokrastinacija na društvenim mrežama (eng. social networking sites; SNS) može uticati na akademsko postignuće i blagostanje korisnika. Društvene mreže imaju funkcije koje ohrabruju korisnike da stalno budu na mreži npr. kroz funkcije obaveštenja. Ovakve funkcije se nekad oslanjaju i na socijalni pritisak i navode korisnike da poveruju da se od njih očekuje da odgovaraju odmah, a ovo može posebno biti slučaj kod onih koji imaju slabiju kontrolu impulse i traže povezanost i popularnost. Zastupamo stav da se društvene mreže mogu napraviti tako da u njih budu uključene protivmere takvom ponašanju, te da mogu pomoći ljudima da bolje regulišu upotrebu ovih sajtova. U ovom radu, predstavili smo studiju u kojoj smo kombinovali kvalitativne (fokus grupe, dnevnik, intervjui, kodizajniranje) i kvantitativne metode (anketa sprovedena na uzorku od 334 osobe). Kroz kvalitativnu fazu, identifikovali smo: (1) svojstva društvenih mreža koja korisnici opažaju kao facilitatore prokrastinacije kao na primer, obaveštenja, dizajn koji podstiče “uranjanje” korisnika i praćenje prisustva i (2) protivmere poput podsetnika, sata koji prikazuje vreme provedeno u ćaskanju (eng. chat timer) i postavljanja ciljeva čije uvođenje može biti olakšano kroz dizajn društvenih mreža, a u cilju sprečavanja prokrastinacije, kao I (3) koresponednciju između karakteristika društvenih mreža koje podstiču prokrastinaciju I protivmera. Potom smo (4) potvrdili ove rezultate i korespondenciju kroz kvantitativnu fazu, tj. kroz anketu. Rezultati našeg istraživanja su pokazali da se protivmere mogu implementirati kao univerzalne u sve društvene mreže na jednom ili više uređaja.</p> <h2>Other Information</h2> <p>Published in: Psihologija<br> License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/</a><br> See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.2298/psi190902016a" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.2298/psi190902016a</a></p> |
