Abstract

This study investigates the impact of auditory distractions on cycling behaviour, with a focus on individual differences in immersion and distraction susceptibility levels. The study examines the impact of listening to music, podcasts, or engaging in phone conversations on the frequency of head movements while cycling. The findings indicate no significant relationships between immersion, distraction susceptibility, and head movements among cyclists. Higher immersion scores do not necessarily correlate with increased distraction susceptibility, and higher levels of distraction susceptibility do not directly impact the frequency of head movements while cycling under auditory distractions. This suggests that distraction susceptibility alone does not directly impact head movement frequency. Additionally, it was found that higher immersion levels do not necessarily impact the frequency of head movements while cycling, suggesting that immersion levels may not directly influence head movement behaviour. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the need to consider attention allocation during cycling and explore how immersion impacts cognitive processing.
