TikTok och dess relation till uppmärksamhetsförmåga: En studie om unga vuxnas uppmärksamhetsförmåga mätt genom självskattning och prestation
(2024) PSYK11 20241Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Väldigt lite forskning har gjorts om TikTok-användning och uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Denna experimentella studie syftade till att undersöka om TikTok-användning är relaterad till uppmärksamhet mätt både genom självskattning och genom ett prestationsbaserat test, samt om ett kortsiktigt orsakssamband kunde påvisas. Den syftade även till att undersöka sambandet mellan självskattning och prestationstestet. Studien genomfördes på Lunds universitetscampus med 49 deltagare i åldrarna 19-28 år. Deltagarna svarade på en enkät om deras TikTok-användning och självskattade uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Dessutom genomförde deltagarna Go/No-Go task två gånger med en paus emellan, under vilken experimentgruppen använde TikTok och kontrollgruppen såg en... (More)

Deltagarna svarade på en enkät om deras TikTok-användning och självskattade uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Dessutom genomförde deltagarna Go/No-Go task två gånger med en paus emellan, under vilken experimentgruppen använde TikTok och kontrollgruppen såg en naturdokumentär. Ingen kortsiktig effekt av TikTok-användning på bibehållen uppmärksamhet (sustained attention) visades. En signifikant korrelation hittades mellan självskattningsfrågorna och hits i Go/No-Go task. Dessutom observerades en stark trend mot en negativ korrelation mellan TikTok-användning och en av självskattningsfrågorna som handlade om förmågan att hålla fokus när det är människor runt omkring en. Detta tyder på att personer som använder TikTok mer är bättre på att filtrera bort externa distraktioner än de som använder det mindre. Resultaten diskuteras i relation till koncepten endogen och exogen uppmärksamhet, samt till resultat och slutsatser från den begränsade forskning som finns inom liknande områden. Vidare forskning med fler deltagare behövs för att se mer variation i prestationsbaserade test och för att uppnå signifikanta resultat. (Less)
- Abstract
- Not much research has been published on the subject of TikTok use and attentional abilities. This experimental study aimed to investigate whether TikTok use is related to attention, measured with both self-assessment and a performance-based test, as well as whether a short-term causal relationship could be found. The study also aimed to examine the relationship between self-assessment and the performance-based test. The study was carried out on Lund University campus on 49 participants between the ages of 19-28. Participants answered a questionnaire about their TikTok use and self-assessed attentional abilities. In addition, participants performed a Go/No-Go task twice with a break in between, during which the experimental group used... (More)

In addition, participants performed a Go/No-Go task twice with a break in between, during which the experimental group used TikTok and the control group watched a nature documentary. No short-term effect of TikTok use on sustained attention was found. A significant correlation was found between the self-assessment questions and hits in the Go/No-Go task. Additionally, a strong trend toward a negative correlation was found between TikTok use and one of the self-assessment questions, regarding the ability to maintain focus when there are people around you. This would suggest that people who use TikTok more are better at filtering out external distractions than people who use it less. The results are discussed in relation to the concepts of endogenous and exogenous attention, as well as to the results and conclusions from the limited research that exists on similar topics. Further research with more participants is required to see more variance in performance-based tests and to obtain significant results. (Less)
