Psychological Effects of Mobile Device Management in Hybrid Learning

A 2026 study of 60 undergraduate students in Ma'anshan, China, examining psychological effects across three instructional modes. The dataset contains results from a self-contrast study focusing on attention, distraction, and foreign language anxiety. It was authored by Xuecheng Liu and shared under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze the effect of Mobile Device Management (MDM) on reported levels of digital distraction across instructional modes.
• Compare measures of classroom focus between traditional face-to-face, hybrid SCMC without regulation, and hybrid SCMC with MDM conditions.
• Investigate the relationship between mobile media regulation and foreign language anxiety scores among non-English majors.

Strengths

• Data originates from a structured empirical study with 60 participants (M age = 20.6, SD = 0.743).
• Explicitly compares three distinct instructional conditions: traditional, hybrid SCMC, and hybrid SCMC with MDM.
• Study design focuses on specific psychological constructs: attention, distraction, and foreign language anxiety.

Limitations

• Limited sample size of 60 students from a single mid-tier university in China reduces generalizability.
• Data is presented in a DOCX document (21.0 KB), requiring manual extraction for quantitative analysis.
• Temporal coverage and specific row/column structure of the underlying data are unknown.
