This contribution is part of the broader research field on Digital Disconnection (DD), conceptualized as a range of practices that regulate or limit individuals’ engagement with specific digital technologies. It presents the findings of an empirical study conducted through a web-based survey administered to a representative sample of Italian Internet users. The emerging phenomenology of DD reveals a diverse array of practices, motivations, and constraints that defy simplistic interpretations based on a binary opposition between connection and disconnection, or on a singular model of disconnection. The user profile that emerges is that of a subject actively engaged in the regulation of digital media use and involved in a continuous negotiation between personal autonomy and relational commitments in the context of disconnection.
