Why we feel regret and guilt about using digital technology in our free time – A European perspective
Despite the widespread use of digital technologies during free time and its potential benefits for wellbeing and recovery from work life, digital engagement is considered a low-quality form of free time that often results in significant regret and guilt. Given its increasing significance as an accessible source of relaxation and enjoyment in today’s post-COVID digitised society and the negative health consequences of chronic regret and guilt, the…
Validation of the immersion in digital life and quality of digital experience scales in German, French, Spanish, Polish and Czech
The Quality of Digital Experience Scale (QDES) and the Immersion in Digital Life Scale (IDLS) were developed to measure positive and negative experiences of digital technology use and the extent to which different facets of life were digital. Critically, the QDES and ILDS were developed to be independent of digital device or platform, thus providing a more holistic account of digital technology use than previous measures. The objective of the cur…
Problematic Internet Use Predicts Lesser Satisfaction with Life, but Psychological Distress Acts as a Mediator
Problematic internet use (PIU) has emerged, from the extensive use of the internet, as a concept to describe and understand the more adverse influences of digitalization on people’s experiences. PIU refers to compulsive or excessive internet use leading to psychosocial impairments (among others, anxiety, depression, lesser well-being), and it has been studied from diverse perspectives. However, the mechanisms through which PIU could exert its imp…
How digital technology can steal your time
Digital devices are marketed as tools to improve efficiency and save time, however their use is also often associated with time pressure, time poverty and reduced wellbeing. Precisely how and why digital technologies reduce the availability of time is largely unknown. This study sought to explore the ways in which people experience a loss of time as a result of digital technology use. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 300 people from…
Chronic time pressure as a predictor of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress
Chronic time pressure is associated with reduced wellbeing. Feeling chronically harried is associated with increased experiences of the symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. The results emphasize the need for governments, employers and healthcare providers to prioritise reducing time pressure as a mechanism of improving wellbeing
New measurements of digital technology use: The Immersion in Digital Life and Quality of Digital Experience scales
The scales offer reliable measurements of individuals' interactions with technology in the digital era. Their ability to capture engagement beyond frequency and duration will facilitate greater understanding of the complexities of the positive and negative impacts of digital practices on individuals and societies
All physical activities are not created equal: Differential effects of goal contents, psychological need satisfaction, and flow in physical activity on satisfaction with life
Regular physical activity (PA) is linked with greater satisfaction with life (SWL), but is this effect equivalent for all PAs? Or do effects and causal paths of PA on SWL differ depending on goal contents in PA? PA practitioners ( N = 1900) reported goal contents in exercise (GCE), psychological need satisfaction (PNS), and flow in PA, as well as SWL. Cluster analyses and multi-group structural equation modeling were used to analyze differential …
Self‐regulation and procrastination in college students: A tale of motivation, strategy, and perseverance
Procrastination is a delay in an intended course of action and, thus, a self‐regulation failure hindering growth and well‐being. Contrarily, self‐regulation is a set of cognitive and metacognitive skills and strategies supporting goal‐directed behavior. There is ongoing discussion regarding the extent to which (and the ways in which) promoting self‐regulation may counteract procrastination. On the one hand, it is argued that procrastination is li…
Time perspectives and procrastination in university students: Exploring the moderating role of basic psychological need satisfaction
These findings show that BPNS may play relevant roles in the negative (favourable) relationships between procrastination dimensions and positive time perspectives, as well as in the positive (adverse) associations between negative time perspectives and procrastination dimensions. Contextual interventions fostering enhanced levels of perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as well as future time perspective, are thus strong candidates to …

Applying the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) and Bias Map to Understand Attitudinal and Behavioral Tendencies Toward the Conservation of Sharks
Sharks are at increasing risk of extinction. Being a key factor in maintaining the balance of marine life in the ocean, as well as regulating the variety and abundance of the species below them in the food chain, their depletion is threatening the whole marine ecological system. Aside from the fisheries industry regulation, public opinion plays a fundamental role in any conservation effort. However, unlike other iconic sea marine animals such as …
De la percepción a los usos del tiempo: Perspectiva temporal y procrastinación de adultos en España
Las ciencias del comportamiento han investigado desde diferentes perspectivas la relación entre el dominio o control del tiempo y el desarrollo humano, perfilándose, en las últimas décadas, dos manifestaciones actitudinales altamente implicadas en dicho desarrollo: las orientaciones temporales y la procrastinación. Respecto a estos conceptos abunda la literatura; sin embargo, pocos trabajos aportan datos relativos a la relación entre ambas actitu…
Procrastination at the Core of Physical Activity (PA) and Perceived Quality of Life: A New Approach for Counteracting Lower Levels of PA Practice
Faced with the demonstrated need to engage in physical activity (PA), lack of time is the argument commonly used to justify low or non-existent levels of PA. Underlying this argument, the accomplishment of procrastination behaviour seems to be related to the less time dedicated to practicing PA and the low perception of the quality of life. With this in mind, the purpose of this study is to show that dedicating different amounts of time to PA aff…
Time Matters Differently in Leisure Experience for Men and Women: Leisure Dedication and Time Perspective
There are inequalities with respect to the amount of time men and women spend on leisure. Therefore, it can be assumed that these inequalities are also manifested in the experiences derived from leisure activities and in certain attitudes to life associated with the amount of time devoted to leisure, which emphasize time orientations towards the past, present and future. Based on these ideas, this study analyses the time spent on leisure activiti…
How to analyse the experience of serious leisure onstage: Actors and spectators
The practice of serious leisure engenders a deep sense of self-fulfilment, observable in artistic activities in general – and in theatre in particular. In relation to theatre, the serious leisure perspective suggests that this activity has an influence on the self, whether the individual is playing the role of actor or active spectator, but few studies have analysed the impact. Given the scarcity of empirical evidence and methodological reference…
Two sides of time in the leisure experience of youth: Time investment and time perspectives
The aim of this study is to discover which dimensions and aspects of the leisure experience are more closely related to time invested in leisure activities and to time perspectives (TPs). A sample of 231 young people aged between 18 and 24 years old responded to an adaptation of the Time Budget Technique and the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. The results show that a leisure activity may be perceived as more freely carried out or more satisf…
Physical Activity (PA) Among Middle-Aged Women: Initial and Current Influences and Patterns of Participation
This study investigated the initial and current influences for doing physical activity (PA), current levels of PA participation, and future plans for it. Participants were 200 women aged 45 to 64 years old. Factor loadings of influences were explored using Principal Components Analysis. Pearson bivariate correlations, t-test, and ANOVA were used to show the differences among the influences, sociodemographic characteristics, and present/future PA …

L'arrelament i el pes de l'advocacia en la societat espanyola confereixen un interès especial al coneixement sobre el seu estat actual i als canvis observats en els seus professionals. L'objectiu d'aquesta nota de recerca és posar de manifest els indicadors de desprofessionalització i (des)igualtats de gènere en l'exercici del dret. Aquest propòsit es va concretar mitjançant entrevistes realitzades a una mostra de 562 professionals exercitants (3…
