“…Three main practical implications can be derived from the results of this study: 1) Organizations should rely on synchronous, audio-visual work tools (instead of asynchronous text-based tools) to the extent possible ( Petrova & Schulz, 2021 ). 2) Organizations should make sure that all tools are easy to use and standardize on a limited number of tools (if possible).…”

For most people, telework during the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates the increased use of digital tools. Although working from home can enhance flexibility, it comes with various psychological challenges, all of which can be substantially exacerbated for people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increased need to use digital tools can create cognitive overload that may negatively impact work productivity and well-being. The idea of digital detox has received increasing attention in the last few years as a means for recovering from stress caused by the use of digital media. This paper presents an analysis of the relationships between the use of digital work tools, the feeling of cognitive overload, digital detox measures, perceived work performance, and well-being. Results from an online survey ( N = 403) conducted during the period of strict lockdown measures in Germany in April and May 2020 indicate that the relationship between the use of text-based tools and well-being, but not perceived job performance, is mediated by cognitive overload. These relationships were not found for the use of videoconferencing tools. However, for users of these tools, the number of digital detox measures moderates the relationship between cognitive overload and the perception of work demands.

“…In addition, regular communication technologies such as the telephone and video conferencing may not provide a 'feeling of presence', due to the absence of touch and the inability to make real eye contact (Cohen et al, 2017). Recent technological advances by Cohen et al showed that 3D virtual reality and haptic technology can be used to recreate a feeling of presence, which might be expected to increase the positive emotional impact of such contact (Petrova & Schulz, 2021). Making such technologies available for the wider population would be a valuable direction for innovation and research.…”

Background: During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people with disabilities living in home care facilities could not receive visitors. The use of virtual social contact has been recommended by health authorities. This systematic review examined the scientific evidence of the use and feasibility of information and communication technology (ICT) for social contact by people with intellectual disabilities living in care facilities, and potential effects on well-being.Methods: Five databases were searched using traditional systematic screening and machine-learning supported screening. Findings are presented in a narrative synthesis using thematic analysis.Results: Nine studies were included. We described three themes: means of ICT used for social contact; effects on well-being; and benefits, barriers, and preconditions.Conclusions: Engaging in virtual social contact may be feasible for people with severe to mild intellectual disabilities, but there is little concrete evidence that this can be used as an alternative for in-person contact.

“…Nevertheless, it should be noted that the buffering effect of a preference for shared coping was only evident when partners had in-person contact. This finding may be explained by the importance of in-person contact for fostering feelings of support (Petrova & Schulz, 2021). Moreover, the time of data collection (i.e., societal lockdown) may partially account for the moderating effect of in-person contact.…”

Stress challenges romantic relationships and can negatively impact relationship functioning. We investigated the association between daily stress and feelings of closeness toward the partner within individuals during a particularly stressful time (i.e., first societal lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany) and examined whether a preference for coping together with one’s partner attenuates the negative effect of stress on closeness. We conducted a two-wave experience-sampling study for 7 days at the beginning of the lockdown (April 2020, Wave 1) and for 7 days 3 weeks later (May 2020, Wave 2). Participants rated the extent to which they cope with stress together with their partner once at the beginning of the study. During both waves, participants received a questionnaire on stress, partner contact, and closeness three times a day (N of participants = 272, N of observations = 6,377). Multilevel analyses confirmed the negative within-person association between stress and closeness: In situations when participants experienced greater stress than usual, they felt less close to their partner. In addition, we found a significant three-way interaction: When participants had partner contact, the negative effect of stress was buffered by their preference to cope dyadically rather than individually. Taken together, the present study found that stress was negatively associated with closeness, notably both within and between individuals. Furthermore, this association was exacerbated among participants who typically do not prefer to cope with stress with their partner, suggesting that these individuals in particular may benefit from interventions targeting coping skills at the couple level.
