Abstract Medijski multitasking podrazumijeva upotrebu nekog medijskog sadržaja uz istovremeno uključivanje u drugu aktivnost. Pretpostavka je da kada osobe dobivaju informacije iz više izvora u isto vrijeme, zapravo se orijentiraju na širinu, a ne na dubinu informacija te preferiraju veću količinu različitih podražaja. Razlog tome može biti veća potreba za traženjem uzbuđenja, odnosno želja za novim, različitim sadržajima i aktivnostima. Također, impulzivnost koja se očituje u brzom odlučivanju i nepromišljenom djelovanju, može doprinijeti u objašnjenju multitasking ponašanja. Najviše su istraživane kognitivne sposobnosti tijekom multitaskinga s medijima i njegove posljedice, a preostaje pitanje zašto se ljudi upuštaju u paralelne aktivnosti. Budući da je multitasking konstantno u porastu, važno je razumjeti koji su to čimbenici koji dovode do učestalijeg upuštanja u istovremene, nekompatibilne aktivnosti, kako bi se istražile efikasne metode koje će pospješiti izvedbu i ublažiti negativne posljedice. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je ispitati prediktivni doprinos impulzivnosti, traženja uzbuđenja i spola u objašnjenju sklonosti medijskom multitaskingu kod osoba mlađe odrasle dobi. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 298 sudionika u rasponu od 18 do 30 godina. Provedene regresijske analize pokazale su značajan prediktivni doprinos varijabli traženja uzbuđenja i spola tako što osobe koje iskazuju veću razinu uzbuđenja i žene, imaju veću sklonost medijskom multitaskingu, dok impulzivnost ne doprinosi u objašnjenju varijance. Zanimljivo je što na uzorku žena individualne odrednice nisu imale prediktivan doprinos, a upravo su one sklonije istovremenom upuštanju u više aktivnosti. S druge strane, na uzorku muškaraca traženje uzbuđenja utvrđeno je kao prediktor sklonosti medijskom multitaskingu, a muškarci viši na mjeri traženja uzbuđenja bili su skloniji multitaskingu s medijima.
Abstract (english) Media multitasking involves the use of media content while engaging in another activity. When people receive information from multiple sources at the same time, they are using breadth processing rather than depth processing, and they prefer a lot of different stimuli. The reason for this may be a greater need for sensation seeking, which is defined by a desire for new or diverse content and activities. Also, impulsivity, described as quick decision-making and reckless actions, can contribute to the explanation of multitasking behavior. So far, the most researched have been cognitive abilities during multitasking with media and its consequences, but the question remains why people choose to engage in concurrent activities. As multitasking is continuously on the rise, it is crucial to understand what factors lead to more frequent engagement in simultaneous, incompatible activities, so we can explore effective methods that will enhance performance and mitigate negative consequences. This study aimed to examine the predictive contribution of impulsivity, sensation seeking, and gender in explaining the propensity for media multitasking in young adults. The study included 298 participants ranging in age from 18 to 30 years. Regression analyzes have shown a significant predictive contribution of sensation seeking and gender so that persons expressing a higher level of sensation seeking and women had been more inclined to multitask with media. However, impulsivity did not contribute to the explanation of variance. In the sample of women, individual determinants did not have a predictive contribution, even though women are more inclined to do several activities at the same time. On the other hand, in the sample of men, sensation seeking predicted a tendency for media multitasking, as men with higher sensation seeking were more prone to multitasking with media.
