According to study findings, engaging deeply with a single video rather than 'digital switching' between clips may alleviate boredom and enhance enjoyment of content.
Study author Katy Y. Y. Tam observed that her own habit of rapidly switching between videos led to a lack of true engagement and enjoyment, further fueling her curiosity about these behaviors.
In controlled experiments, participants who watched a single video without fast-forwarding reported lower boredom levels than those who constantly switched between multiple videos.
The research concluded that instead of alleviating boredom, the act of digital switching can amplify feelings of boredom by preventing deeper engagement with content.
