This study is looking at whether taking a one-week break from social media can improve your attention. Researchers want to see if stopping or reducing social media use for seven days helps people focus better. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 30 years old, use social media for more than an hour a day, and are willing to temporarily delete your social media apps for one week. The main way they will measure success is by using a test called the Inquisit Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART), which checks how well you can pay attention. The study is currently recruiting participants.

Study design

What's involved

You would complete surveys and attention tests at the beginning and end of the week. If assigned to the social media abstention group, you would temporarily delete social media apps and log any use daily for one week.

Compensation

Follow-up

Your attention and well-being will be measured at the end of the one-week study period.
