New Paper Alert ?

Professor Mirbabaie, together with his colleagues Julian Marx and Professor Ofir Turel, has published a new paper hat sheds light on the growing trend of digital detox as a self-control method to combat the negative effects of prolonged ICT use. ??

The study addresses the current problems in the field caused by inconsistent terminology and mixed results by:
1?? Introducing a clear and consolidated definition of digital detox.
2?? Developing a theoretical framework for digital detox strategies.
3?? Proposing a research agenda to guide future studies.

These contributions pave the way for systematic and comparable digital detox interventions. ?? Practitioners can also benefit by designing routines and policies to counteract the downsides of ICT use in work and private life.
