VOLKER JÖRN WALPUSKI disorder (DSM-5: 481): “Other excessive behavioural patterns, such as Internet gaming, have also been described, but the research on these and other behavioral syndromes is less clear. Thus, groups of repetitive behaviors, which some term behavioral addictions [...] are not included because at this time there is insufficient peer-reviewed evidence to establish the diagnostic criteria and course descriptions needed to identify these behaviors as mental disorders.” The blurring of boundaries and intensification — by other’s or one’s own means — might evoke psychological strains“ as for example + fears: — Loss of social affiliation and identity ("FoMO", see above) — Loss of control/self-efficacy — Injury/violation (loss of device) ¢ desire for gratification and social distinction s promise of autonomy (independence of place and time) + permanent competition (man vs. man/man vs. machine) ¢ pressure of group conformity and instant communication ¢ hazarding of self destruction despite knowing better ¢ rumination and changed self perception of ineffectiveness + limiting the use as a permanent task of self-steering + Since nearly every western country prohibits mobile device use while driving several European countries meanwhile also found legal regulations for workplace risk assessments including psychosocial hazards. But in practice it is found to be difficult to measure and evaluate these hazards as already shown above. So the usual organisational way to cope with these hazards is to individualize them: The individual is subjected to the problem and often has to find a way to deal with the hazards. This is a task supervision and coaching can assist in finding the way. They offer reflection of self-organisation and self-endangerment, cooperation, norms within a group and the use of technical devices in general. Supervision works as a decelerator and interrupter of a ‘24/7 here-and-now‘imposed on us by mobile communication. It is a kind of dead spot inspiring to reflect there-and-then, i.e. past and future, experience, strategy and situational self-steering. 4° Walpuski, Always on. * 128 +
