Scientists have named Zoom as the main cause of fatigue after online meetings
Stanford scientists conducted a study that recorded the level of fatigue from Zoom conferences. For men and women, the rates are different.
The essence of the research was to conduct a survey, in which 10,300 respondents took part. The authors of the study found that women get tired twice as much as men. Every seventh participant of online conferences on laptop reported that she felt very tired after a video session. And only 1 out of 20 men surveyed shared similar comments.
Such indicators are associated with the time spent online and the anxiety experienced by the user during the communication session. The latter presupposes maximum focus on oneself, one's appearance, the impression that housing and households make on the conference participants.
The number of conferences per day was the same. The only thing is that the session time, frequency and duration of breaks are different.
Some of the users said they feel trapped during conferences. The rectangular screen window acts as a confinement chamber.
According to scientists, online conferences can not only cause fatigue, but also be dangerous. A recent survey found that more than half of respondents experience problems concentrating after an online session. And without this it is simply impossible to drive a vehicle.
To minimize the negative impact of this type of communication, scientists have suggested that companies include "days without Zoom" in their work. Alternatively, do not include video during the conversation.
