As online learning becomes an indispensable component of the current education system, students benefit from the advantages of online education. At the same time, students are also facing more challenges during online learning. Multitasking, mind-wandering, and using digital devices are the extensively discussed types of distractions that detriment students’ learning performance by impairing their focused attention. However, the consensus on the definition of distraction and what represents distraction during online learning are still lacking. This literature review develops a comprehensive definition of distraction, summarizes three main types of distraction (multitasking, mind-wandering, and using digital devices), and proposes two new types of distraction (unexpected interruption and consistent interference). Since the detrimental effects of distraction on online learning are salient, more explorations on helping students to resist distractions and maintain focused attention are imperative for future studies.

“…Multitasking, defined in the current study, includes both simultaneous multitasking (Xu & Wang, 2018), such as listening to music while doing homework, and serial multitasking, such as switching back and forth between checking social media and reading a book. Investigations in the United States have shown that media activities are the most popular second tasks, such as listening to music, watching TV, using social media, and texting while performing other activities (Common Sense Census, 2015; Stavrinos et al, 2019).…”

There are increasing concerns about the impacts of multitasking on well‐being. The study is among the first to examine the question using real‐life daily experience sampling method. It examines two types of well‐being: immediate emotional well‐being (negative and positive emotions in the moment) and longer‐term, delayed well‐being (perceived satisfaction and meaningfulness at the end of the day), along with the motivation to multitask (to fulfill the potential vs. the actual self). A total of 65 young adults provided three reports of their multitasking behaviors and well‐being measures each day for 21 days. Results indicated that multitasking motivated by the potential self was associated with immediate negative emotions, whereas that motivated by the actual self was related to immediate positive emotions. In addition, multitasking to fulfill the actual self was associated with a decrease of positive emotions toward the main tasks. At the end of the day, however, multitasking activities did not have a significant contribution to longer‐term satisfaction or meaningfulness.

Behavioral Transportation: The Role of Psychological, Cognitive, and Social Factors in Distracted Driving Behavior

Logistics 4.0 suggests that increased automation can enhance performance, while Logistics 5.0 emphasizes the advantages of a modern workforce that combines humans and emerging technologies. However, the logistics industry needs a deeper understanding of human factors, an area that has been overlooked so far. To bridge this research gap, this dissertation investigated distracted driving behavior among individuals involved in transportation and logistics-based applications. This investigation employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Essay 1 focuses on a systematic literature review (SLR) that comprehensively analyzes published research on self-response studies regarding distracted driving behavior. The study identifies five overarching categories of distractions: (a) cell phone-related, (b) technology-related, (c) nontechnology-related, (d) psychological, and (e) personality. The findings underscore the substantial research conducted on self-reported distractions associated with cell phones and technology. Essay 2 employs the protection motivation theory (PMT) to develop hypotheses that predict the engagement of young drivers in texting while driving (TWD). In addition to TWD, the survey also included cognitive failure to examine the indirect effects of PMT on TWD within a mediation framework. The results, obtained through structural equation modeling with 674 respondents aged 18-25, indicate that several factors including response cost, threat vulnerability, cognitive failure, self-efficacy, and threat severity influence TWD behavior. Essay 3 investigates the influence of young drivers' respect for safety, neutralization techniques, and polychronicity on distracted driving behavior (DDB), based on the cognitive dissonance theory (CDT). The findings, drawn from 326 respondents aged 22-29 years, indicate that drivers who prioritize safety (respect for safety) are less likely to engage in DDB. Lastly, Essay 4 takes a survey-based approach to explore how factors such as respect for safety, polychronicity, and cognitive failure influence the likelihood of engagement in distractions among industrial operators, specifically forklift drivers, in warehouse and distribution centers (WDCs). The study's results indicate that cognitive failure has a negative impact on forklift drivers' distracted driving behavior, while polychronic tendencies help drivers avoid engaging in distracted behavior.
