Abstract

Our study examined the multitasking preferences in relation to anxiety with online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of our analysis indicated that task switching, rather than multitasking, significantly predicted anxiety levels. Further research is needed to analyze the specific relationship that multitasking has on task switching and anxiety.
