RESUMO:

The production and consumption of information for decision-making has increasingly migrated to the use of screens. According to the literature reviewed and theoretical assumptions, the present study aimed to evaluate if there is a difference in decision-making between the screen and paper-based media. In the method adopted, participants were randomly grouped to solve tasks on paper, computer or smartphone. The experiment was constructed involving tasks about: (I) reading comprehension; (II) memorizing read words; (III) solving problems related to the value of money over time and to accounting; and (IV) the effectiveness of impression management. After this, NASA-TLX procedure was completed in relation to the perceived dimensions of workload related to tasks realized. Present research is unprecedented in proposing and verifying the existence of the "screen effect" in accounting decision making. The results obtained with the 293 participants distributed between the media indicate that there is a negative association between the screen-based medium and the understanding and memory of what was read. In relation to the questions of the value of money in time and accounting, no association was verified. It was also evidenced that the management of impressions was effective and there are indications of a greater propensity to the graph management in the screens. Additionally, the mental workload perceived by the participants was shown to be different in relation to the medium used, the perceived role as the paper is superior related mental demands. The implications of the research are that computational means may not be paper equivalent and require evolution to try to reduce or mitigate the negative aspects of the screens.
