Preprint⚠️ Scrolling and swiping tend to be more interesting than studying or working, leading to procrastination. Can we do something about that? We investigated whether temporary deliberate non-use of digital technologies (digital disconnection) is effective as a strategy against procrastination.

While the 'belief' plot draws attention, the core message of the final, deliberative consensus statements is that evidence linking smartphone and social media use to negative outcomes is limited, mixed, context-dependent, insufficient to support causal claims, and better research is needed.

Turns out, asking “Are bad things bad?” isn’t groundbreaking. Features phubbing, technoference, & other pseudoempirical stars. tmb.apaopen.org/pub/5zfg49sw...

The fact that this communication is now necessary ... for conferences happening in the *US* ... shocking.

The 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (#ICA25), set for 12-16 June in Denver Colorado, USA, is shaping up to be ICA’s largest conference yet, tracking with Toronto and Paris in terms of preregistration numbers. At the same time, we are closely monitoring the evolving situation in the United States which has raised concerns for some members of the ICA community intending to participate. We recognize your concerns regarding the uncertain environment and appreciate your feedback and perspectives.

We affirm ICA’s dedication to a global exchange of knowledge and perspectives and protecting the free exchange of ideas among our members and attendees. Current rhetoric and actions in some US communities run counter to ICA’s commitment to ensuring the full and equal participation of all members of our global academic community and conflict directly with ICA's IDEA principles.
