The IMPACT Assessment (Intentional Media use & Personal Awareness of Control using Technology) is a reflective tool developed from a functional contextual and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective. It aims to explore how individuals engage with technology, digital devices, and media in their daily lives. This includes evaluating levels of awareness, intention, psychological flexibility, and behavioral patterns related to technology use. The goal is to provide insight into how digital habits may influence wellbeing, focus, emotional regulation, and overall psychological functioning.
