Implications:
•While use of IM may be beneficial for enhancing social connections and well-being, our research suggests amount of time spent IMing is not beneficial for college students completing schoolwork.
•College students are aware that multitasking hurts their academics; however, they continue to multitask.
•Based on background characteristics and the ways they use technology, certain students are at higher risk of academic impairment.
•We hypothesize about the existence of a “multitasking personality” among college students. While our research can’t identify such personalities, our results suggest that some college students may multitask at such high levels that it has become normative for them in many ways.
