Media multitasking, a simultaneous consumption of two or more media, is a ubiquitous and popular behaviour among the youth. One of the reasons for its increasing growth is the structural/market-level factors (known as media factors). Although India is a growing technology hub, there have been limited efforts to identify the media multitasking behaviour among the youth in this country. Thus, this study attempts to analyse the prevalence of media multitasking behaviour among the Indian college students and its relationship with their emotions through two methods: self-report and an android-based application known as ‘Affective Media Landscape Survey’ (AMLS). Previous studies have reported that continuous interaction with media diminishes face-to-face interaction, reduces empathy and increases the tendency to live in the virtual world. This raises the concern for emotional differences in everyday life, if any, between the high and low groups of media multitaskers. So the second objective of the study is to understand the emotional profile of the users that varies among media multitasking index. To achieve these objectives, the same two methods, the ‘self-report’ that involves questionnaires and AMLS (an android-based app to study the frequency of media multitasking behaviour and the emotions of the users) have been employed. The study gives an insight into the emerging behavioural patterns and hence is helpful for designing communities to cater to the growing needs of the young media users.

印度大学生的情绪与媒体多任务行为

媒体多任务处理(同时消耗两个或更多媒体)是年轻人中普遍存在的行为。其增长的原因之一是结构/市场层面的因素(称为媒体因素)。尽管印度是一个不断发展的技术中心,但在该国年轻人中识别媒体多任务行为的努力很少。因此,本研究试图通过两种方法来分析印度大学生中媒体多任务行为的普遍性及其与他们情绪的关系:自我报告和一种基于Android的应用程序,称为“情感媒体态势调查”(AMLS)。先前的研究报告说,与媒体的持续互动会减少面对面的互动,减少同理心,并增加生活在虚拟世界中的趋势。这引起了人们对媒体多任务处理人员的高低群体之间日常生活中情感差异的关注。因此,该研究的第二个目标是了解用户的情绪特征,这些情绪因媒体多任务处理指标而异。为了实现这些目标,已经采用了相同的两种方法,即涉及问卷的“自我报告”和AMLS(基于Android的应用程序,用于研究媒体多任务行为的频率和用户的情绪)。该研究提供了对新兴行为模式的洞察力,因此有助于设计社区以满足年轻媒体用户不断增长的需求。因此,该研究的第二个目标是了解用户的情绪特征,这些情绪因媒体多任务处理指标而异。为了实现这些目标,已经采用了相同的两种方法,即涉及问卷的“自我报告”和AMLS(基于Android的应用程序,用于研究媒体多任务行为的频率和用户的情绪)。该研究提供了对新兴行为模式的洞察力,因此有助于设计社区以满足年轻媒体用户不断增长的需求。因此,该研究的第二个目标是了解用户的情绪特征,这些情绪因媒体多任务处理指标而异。为了实现这些目标,已经采用了相同的两种方法,即涉及问卷的“自我报告”和AMLS(基于Android的应用程序,用于研究媒体多任务行为的频率和用户的情绪)。该研究提供了对新兴行为模式的洞察力,因此有助于设计社区以满足年轻媒体用户不断增长的需求。
