- Reposted by Rebekka Kreling📬 Pub alert Do effects of digital disconnection interventions translate to well-being benefits in *daily life*? Our new ESM study concludes: yes but no... kinda 👽🔋 @klingelhoefer.bsky.social @adrianmeier.bsky.social Out now in Communication Research doi.org/10.1177/0093...
- Reposted by Rebekka KrelingEver found yourself scrolling on your phone in the middle of a conversation?📱👥Curious about why this happens, @annastockmann.bsky.social and I explored the situational drivers of co-present phone use in our new🔓#OpenAccess paper, just published in @mobilemediacomm.bsky.social🎉 (1/6)

- Reposted by Rebekka KrelingThank you @overbye.bsky.social — going to Greece to present the paper wasn’t so bad either 👀 Also thanks to my wonderful co-authors @aliciaernst.bsky.social, @rkreling.bsky.social, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, @mscharkow.bsky.social, @leonardreinecke.bsky.social and Benedikt! More to come soon!
- Fabulous study by @felix-dietrich.de @aliciaernst.bsky.social @rkreling.bsky.social et al., examining how algorithmic curation affects music streaming UX. Key finding: More algorithmic recommendations = less enjoyment, BUT listening sessions w/algorithmic curation were perceived as more novel 🧪
- Interested in… a) taking theories out of the lab (and try to specify them to work irl) b) computational methods (data donations, LLM content analysis) c) media coping d) all of the above? Then our new HCR-paper is *just* for you! doi.org/10.1093/hcr/...
- Using Netflix data donations, daily survey data, and content descriptions, we (@felix-dietrich.de @aliciagilbert.bsky.social @leonardreinecke.bsky.social) asked ourselves how ppl would avoid content that was similar to a domain they had experienced adversity in that day (semantic affinity from MMT!)
- Reposted by Rebekka Kreling💡Pub alert 💡 Why do users stop a media activity? Today I presented "101 reasons to stop: A systematic review of media cues for disengagement" at #CHIGreece2025 🏖️ The full paper - the 3rd of my PhD thesis - is now available #openaccess at dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... Summary below ⬇️
- Longitudinal evidence on media entertainment effects, anyone? New paper out w/ @leonardreinecke.bsky.social looking at links between entertainment use and meaning making daily, weekly, & over 6 months. Two studies, 1,872 participants, 15,290 observations. Summary 👇 doi.org/10.1177/0093...
- Short-term effects of entertainment on mood/recovery have been studied for a while – but what about longer lasting effects? We propose beneficial effects of hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment on meaning making via positive emotions and vicarious experiences of adversity.
- Reposted by Rebekka KrelingTo investigate media effects, do we have to think more clearly about time ⌚? Our new publication in the 🎉*Journal of Communication*🎉 investigates how our conceptualizations of time can affect our conclusions: doi.org/10.1093/joc/... (1/6)
- Reposted by Rebekka KrelingFinally :) Preprint of Susanne Baumgartner and my paper Short but still valid: Validating Single-Item Measures for Key Communication Science Constructs for Experience Sampling Research. In a 5-Study procedure, we assess the validity of in total 21 constructs osf.io/preprints/ps...
- Reposted by Rebekka Kreling🚀 The GESIS AppKit is live! 🚀 Three years ago we started the project of providing "an App" for Social Scientists @gesis.org . Today, it is much more than that. It is a management system for mobile, intensive-longitudinal studies. Interested? ✅ Register here: www.gesis.org/gesis-appkit...
