New study titled "Effects of task interruptions caused by notifications from communication applications on strain and performance" accepted for publication in the Journal of Occupational Health. In the study, we investigate the effect of automatic notifications on perceived stress and work performance. For this purpose, a field experiment was conducted in which participants in the experimental group deactivated their notifications for one day. The results indicate that a reduction of interruptions by notifications has a positive effect on performance as well as a reduction of stress.
