Print versus digital reading habits
Here are the main takeaways of what students in the study reported in the first set of questions about their reading habits:
Time reading in print versus onscreen
Overall, participants reported spending about two-thirds of their time reading in print, both for schoolwork and pleasure. There was consider-able variation across countries, with the Japanese doing the most reading onscreen. In considering these numbers, especially for academic reading, we need to keep in mind that sometimes reading assignments are only available in one medium or the other, so students are not making independent choices.
Cost
More than four-fifths of the participants said that if cost were the same, they would choose to read in print rather than onscreen. This finding was particularly strong for academic reading and especially high in Germany (94%). Students (and for that matter, K-12 school systems) often cite cost as the reason for selecting digital rather than print textbooks. Itās therefore telling that if cost is removed from the equation, digital millennials commonly prefer print.
Text length
When the amount of text is short, participants displayed mixed preferences, both when reading academic works or for pleasure. However, with longer texts, more than 86% preferred print for schoolwork and 78% when reading for pleasure. Preference for reading longer works in print
has been reported in multiple studies. As Farinosi and colleagues (2016) observed, āIf the text requires strategic reading, such as papers, essays, books, the paper version is preferredā (p. 417).
Multitasking
Students reported being more likely to multitask when reading onscreen than in print. Responses from the U. S. participants were particularly stark, with 85% indicating they multitasked when reading digitally, compared with 26% for print. The detrimental cognitive effects of multitasking are well known (e. g., Carrier et al., 2015). We can reasonably infer that students who multitask while reading are less likely to be paying close attention to the text than those who donāt.
Concentration
The most dramatic finding for this set of questions came in response to the query about the platform on which students felt they concentrated best. Selecting from print, computer, tablet, e-reader, or mobile phone, 92% said it was easiest to concentrate when reading print.
