    Abstract

    Media multitasking with different 2nd screen devices - i.e., with tablets, smartphones and laptop computers that are used simultaneously with viewing a television broadcast - has rapidly become a common user behavior. While this behavior can be measured quantitatively in several ways, fairly little is known about the reasons and motives behind it. To compose a better understanding of the role that 2nd screens have in the viewing experience of the user, we conducted a case study with 12 participants by using a combination of qualitative data collection methods. Through thematic analysis we combined four ideal types, Commentator, Analyzer, Home Gamer and Active Follower, which exemplify the different meanings that 2nd screen usage has for the viewer.
