Abstract

Digital disconnection has emerged as a concept describing the actions people take to limit their digital connectivity to enhance their well-being. To date, evidence on its effectiveness is mixed, leading to calls for greater consideration of why, how, when, and for whom digital disconnection works. This article responds to these calls, presenting a framework that differentiates four key harms that contribute to experiences of digital ill-being (time displacement, interference, role blurring, and exposure effects). Using these four harms as a starting point, the framework explains: (1) why people are motivated to digitally disconnect; (2) how specific disconnection strategies (i.e., placing limits on time, access, channels, and contents, interactions and features) may help them; and for whom (3) and under which conditions (when) these strategies can be effective.

数字断网为何、如何、何时以及对谁有效？基于过程的数字断网框架

断开数字连接已成为一个概念，它描述了人们为提高自身福祉而采取的限制数字连接的行动。迄今为止，有关其有效性的证据喜忧参半，因此人们呼吁更多地考虑数字断网的原因、方式、时间和对象。本文响应了这些呼吁，提出了一个框架，区分了造成数字不良体验的四种主要危害（时间错位、干扰、角色模糊和暴露效应）。以这四种危害为出发点，该框架解释了：(1) 为什么人们会主动断开数字连接；(2) 具体的断开策略（即限制时间、访问、渠道、内容、互动和功能）如何帮助他们；以及(3) 这些策略对谁有效，在什么条件下（何时）有效。
