基督教聖經之智慧書導讀 :	This study compared the impact of a voluntary exit/re-entry app fast (AF) and an apps as usual (AU) condition on quality of life (QoL) and daily screen time minutes. A total of 19 smartphone users across the United States, participated in the study, with 9 in the AF group and 10 in the AU group. Study variables and additional measures were also assessed for covariates, including phone pickups, phone notifications, a discounting parameter, and apps demand. Participants also shared their general experience through interviews. Both groups reported an increase in QoL from T1 and T2 with larger increases in the AU group. Further, daily screen time minutes decreased for the AF group from T1 to T2, and increased for the AU group from T1 to T2. At T3, for both QoL and daily screen time, averages returned close to T1 levels. Overall, none of the main dependent variables were statistically significant between- or within- groups. However, as an exploratory dependent variable, changes in discounting rates were statistically significant for the AF group between T1 and T2. In addition, correlation analyses indicated that discounting and demand may be related to phone pickups and notifications. One major limitation was that AF participants broke the fast multiple times during the intervention period. Future studies can explore the impact of other versions of app fasts that focus more specifically on app-specific goals, and their impact on QoL.
