The sequencing of information in media can influence processing of content via mechanisms like framing, mood management, and emotion regulation. This study examined three kinds of media sequences on smartphones: (1) balancing positive and negative emotional content; (2) balancing emotional content with informational content; and (3) balancing time spent on and off the media device. Actual media use was measured in natural settings using the Screenomics framework which gathers screenshots from smartphones every 5 s when devices are on. Time-series analyses of 223,531 smartphone sessions recorded from 94 participants showed that emotionally positive content was more likely to follow negative content, and that emotionally negative content was more likely to follow positive content; emotional content was more likely to follow informational content, and informational content was more likely to follow emotional content; and longer smartphone sessions were more likely to follow longer periods of non-use.
媒体中信息的排序可以通过诸如框架构建、情绪管理和情感调节等机制来影响内容的处理。本研究考察了智能手机上的三种媒体序列：（1）平衡积极和消极情感内容；（2）平衡情感内容与信息内容；（3）平衡在媒体设备上的使用时间和离开媒体设备的时间。在自然环境中，使用Screenomics框架测量实际媒体使用情况，该框架在设备开启时每5秒从智能手机收集屏幕截图。对94名参与者记录的223,531次智能手机使用时段进行的时间序列分析表明，情感上积极的内容更有可能跟随消极内容之后出现，情感上消极的内容更有可能跟随积极内容之后出现；情感内容更有可能跟随信息内容之后出现，信息内容更有可能跟随情感内容之后出现；较长的智能手机使用时段更有可能跟随较长时间的不使用之后出现。
