  • 1 Digital Detox: the Effect of Smartphone Abstinence on Mood, Anxiety, and Craving 1 Wilcockson, TDW1,2 Osborne, AM3 Ellis
    1 Digital Detox: The effect of smartphone abstinence on mood, anxiety, and craving 2 Wilcockson, T.D.W.1,2 Osborne, A.M.3 Ellis, D.A.2 3 4 1 Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK 5 2 Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK 6 3 Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore 7 8 Corresponding author 9 [email protected] 10 1 11 Abstract 12 Whether behavioural addictions should be conceptualised using a similar framework to substance-related 13 addictions remains a topic of considerable debate. Previous literature has developed criteria, which allows 14 any new behavioural addiction to be considered analogous to substance-related addictions. These imply 15 that abstinence from a related object (e.g. smartphones for heavy smartphone users) would lead to mood 16 fluctuations alongside increased levels of anxiety and craving. In a sample of smartphone users, we 17 measured three variables (mood, anxiety, and craving) on four occasions, which included a 24-hour period 18 of smartphone abstinence. Only craving was affected following a short period of abstinence. The results 19 suggest that heavy smartphone usage does not fulfil the criteria required to be considered an addiction. This 20 may have implications for other behavioural addictions. 21 2 22 Digital Detox: The effect of smartphone abstinence on mood, anxiety, and craving 23 Behavioural addiction is defined by the DSM-V as an addictive disorder that does not involve the ingestion 24 of a psychoactive substance (APA, 2013). However, Kardefelt-Winther et al (2017) have recently argued 25 that research concerning behavioural addictions has not yet clarified whether sufferers become functionally 26 impaired, experience psychological distress, or demonstrate any separation from normative behaviour.

  • Digital Detox Tourism: Why Disconnect?
    Digital Detox Tourism: Why disconnect? What are the motives of Dutch tourists to undertake a digital detox holiday? Author: Kristel Hoving Supervisor: Doris Carson Department of Geography and Economic History Master’s Programme in Tourism Master Thesis, two-year, 30 credits Spring Semester 2017 I Sworn statement: I hereby declare that I have personally and independently prepared this paper. All quotations in the text have been marked as such, and the paper or considerable parts of it have not previously been subject to any examination assessment. Kristel Hoving II Abstract Digital detox technologies such as smartphones, tablets, and PDAs, have grown and developed at an extraordinary rate to become an essential part of everyday life. While ICT is a driving force in the contemporary tourism industry, some travel agencies and hotels have recently detected a niche market for those people who want to ‘escape’ from the digital life by offering ‘digital detox travel packages’, i.e. travel to remote areas that are highly disconnected of ICTs. While the current literature has investigated the tourists’ experience of a forced disconnection, it has yet not sufficiently investigated what the rationales are for the tourists choosing to undertake a digital detox holiday. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and understand the motives of tourists to undertake a digital detox holiday. To get an understanding of the motives to undertake a digital detox holiday, in-depth interviews among Dutch tourists have been conducted. The results of the study show that especially sociological, psychological and physic health factors motivated tourists to undertake a digital detox holiday.
