How taking photos increases enjoyment of experiences
[PUBLISHER RECORD AND PRESS MATERIAL ONLY; THE FULL TEXT WAS NOT READ on this pass] Diehl, K., Zauberman, G., & Barasch, A. (2016). 'How taking photos increases enjoyment of experiences.' Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 111(2), 119-140. doi:10.1037/pspa0000055. DIEHL IS FIRST AUTHOR of this paper, which matters because the 2017 memory paper by the same team is alphabetical and this one is not. THE GAIN SIDE OF THE ARTICLE'S OWN CENTRAL LITERATURE. Across three field and six laboratory experiments, photo-taking raised enjoyment of positive experiences. The mechanism is engagement, and the effect is weaker when the experience is already highly engaging or when photography gets in the way. Eye-tracking in their sixth study showed that volitional photo-taking increased the duration and frequency of fixations on aspects likely to be photographed, which is the measurement the 2017 attention account is built on. THEIR OWN LIMIT ON THEIR OWN RESULT: the greater engagement from photo-taking was also linked to WORSE evaluations of negative experiences. A secondary summary describes the nine experiments as involving over 2,000 participants; THAT FIGURE IS SECONDARY and must be attributed or dropped. WHY IT MATTERS STRUCTURALLY: the same research team supplied the enjoyment finding, the visual-memory benefit and the auditory-memory cost, so the honest summary of mediation is reallocation rather than subtraction, more of the visual and less of the auditory, more enjoyment and less of the room you were standing in. Henkel's own location-memory result says the same thing from the other side.
