“…Their behaviors could serve as external interruptions and motivations for media multitasking with demanding tasks. Due to their growing peer networks, adolescents can experience significant demands on their emotional regulation capacities and information processing capacities that are still underdeveloped (Carrier et al, 2015; Konijn et al, 2015). Thus, the levels of and interactions between adolescents’ self-regulation capacities, developmental stage, and the media-saturated environment increase their likelihood of engaging in more intense media multitasking and experiencing the most detrimental effects.…”

Abstract. This article first situates media multitasking in the changing media ecology. Then, grounded in concepts of stress and flow, limited capacity, and threaded cognition, it develops a four-dimensional theory of media multitasking intensity. Based on the key aspects of media multitasking intensity, the subsequent section proposes two primary influences (executive functioning and self-regulation) and one primary outcome (general stress). An application example focuses on several media multitasking issues and the stress outcome for adolescents within their family environment. The final section suggests a few key methodological implications for studying the theory of media multitasking intensity (self-report, and both temporal and social contexts). The theory of media multitasking intensity generates insights about the functional (i.e., valuable) variation within experiences of media as they overlap with and interrupt experiences of the physical and mediated world.
