While smartphones enhance communication and productivity, they may negatively affect mental health and cognitive performance. They can be distractive where the risk can have substantial consequences (e.g., in traffic, while working). Even when not in use, smartphones can be distracting and reduce cognitive capacity. This mere presence of smartphones has been described as having an adverse impact on social interaction and cognitive performance. Since creativity is also an increasingly important skill for finding new and useful ideas, the impact of mere presence on creative thinking should be investigated, as considerable evidence is missing. The first goal of this study is to replicate the reduction effect of the mere presence of one's smartphone on cognitive capacity and test the effect of the dependency relationship on this hypothesized reduction. The second goal is to investigate this effect on divergent thinking.

This study aims to explore the potential positive impact of combined chamber REST interventions on reducing smartphone and social media overuse and the associated mental health outcomes among female university students in the Czech Republic. In early 2021, 988 female university students aged between 19 and 56 years old completed a battery of questionnaires. For the quasi-experimental part, a subsample of 98 participants aged between 19 and 53 was selected. The data collection involved a software application to objectively measure the time spent on smartphones and social media and the administration of five self-report scales. The study suggests that the used combined interventions can significantly reduce the time spent on smartphones and social media. This can have a positive effect on aspects of mental health such as problematic use of smartphones, fear of missing out, trait anxiety and to some extent, satisfaction with life. The study also suggests that the intervention effectiveness had a greater impact in the chamber environment.
