Quick browsing videos without watching "increase the feeling of boredom"

A new scientific study has shown that the continuous browsing of videos on platforms such as “Tech Talk” and YouTube can increase the feeling of boredom, rather than reducing it. The study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, became clear that boredom is closely related to the level of attention, as the gap between the expected interaction and the actual interaction can lead to an increase in the feeling of boredom. For example, if the user starts watching a video and then doesn’t like the first seconds, he chases by jumping to watch another video, because of the first seconds failed to get his attention as he expected, and instead of continuing to learn more about the rest of the video content itself, the user prefers to skip another. Consequently, the repeated user in this behavior in the browsing of the videos eventually leads to his sense of boredom and exacerbates it, due to the fact that he does not get something that attracts his attention to the expected level, according to the study led by a team led by Katie Tam, from the University of “Toronto Scarburo”. Various results and the research team conducted in the study have 7 experiments that included more than 1,200 participants, and in the first experience that included 140 participants, discovered that people tend to change videos more if they consider the content boring. While the results of the second experience, which relied on an online recording with the participation of 231 people, indicated that the participants believe that the option to skip the video or move to another will make the video less bored. However, the subsequent experiences of the research team showed that this assumption may not be accurate. Data from a group consisting of 166 university students showed that the participants felt more bored when they were allowed to skip parts of the video, compared to a time they did not have this option. The results of another experience that included 159 university students also revealed that the participants reported higher boredom levels when they received a set of short videos in which they could vary, compared to watching one ten -minute video without the option to switch. As a result, the study concluded that people who forwarded the fast and used back wagon within the same video, or that the switch between videos felt bored compared to those watching one video without interruption. She pointed out that people who are allowed to control views, display, speed and originating content often feel more bored than others. The study pointed out that the difference in centuries could affect how the videos and the resulting feeling are consumed, as viewing habits differ between users of different ages. The research team recommended that you take enough time to watch videos without chasing, and focus on the content instead of quick browsing. She warned that “complete indulgence in the viewing experience can be more satisfying than the ongoing transition between videos.”
