| Resumo: | The “dark side” of social media (e.g., compulsive use, privacy erosion, and mood disruption) now rivals its benefits. Rather than abrupt quitting, most users pursue the more realistic first step of reducing time and engagement. Our research unpacks this pragmatic self-regulation path, showing how scaling back can relieve harm and, when necessary, pave the way to full disengagement. Research goals: Study 1: Map knowledge gaps in hedonic information systems use reduction research through a systematic literature review; Study 2: Unpack the interplay between cognitive and affective factors that drives individuals to scale back their social networking sites (SNS) use; Study 3: Apply a risk-based lens to reveal how adverse perceptions ignite a cascading self-regulation process that curtails SNS engagement; Study 4: Capture users lived experiences via qualitative inquiry and build a process model that explains the complex coping mechanisms involved in SNS use reduction; Study 5: Examine neurodiversity’s influence — with a focus on ADHD — on the difficulty and dynamics of reducing SNS use. |
