The researchers say the “self-view” display may be to blame for that exhausted feeling after a day of back-to-back online meetings.
The research shows that overall, one in seven women 13.8% compared with one in 20 men 5.5% reported feeling “very” to “extremely” fatigued after Zoom calls.
These new findings build on a paper the same researchers recently published in the journal
Technology, Mind and Behavior that explored why people might feel exhausted following video conference calls. Now, they have the data to show who is feeling the strain. For their follow-up study, the researchers surveyed 10,322 participants in February and March using their “Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue Scale” to better understand the individual differences of burnout from the extended use of video conferencing technologies during the past year.
