The use of social networking sites (SNSs) has been growing at a staggering rate, especially among university students. The present study investigated the prevalence of social networking addiction (SNA), its health consequences, and its relationships with parents' Internet-specific parenting behaviors in a sample of Hong Kong university students (N = 390). Adopting the 9-item social media disorder scale, 21.5% of the participating students met the criteria for SNA. Students with SNA showed longer sleeping latency, more sleep disturbance, poorer academic performance, lower levels of life satisfaction, and higher levels of depression than did students without SNA. Parental reactive restriction and limiting online behaviors of the participants were associated with higher risk of SNA. The findings suggest the severity of SNA and its negative consequences among Hong Kong university students. While parental behaviors limiting children's use of SNSs were found to increase the occurrence rate of SNA among university students, longitudinal studies are needed to further examine this causal relationship.

The social integration level of disabled children determines their process of achieving self-worth and pursuing a better life. The difficulties of social integration of disabled children are mainly manifested in the neglect of the right to social participation, the inadequate protection of the right to education and the exclusion of the living environment. The combination of subjective psychological factors and objective social factors is the cause of social integration difficulties for disabled children. Therefore, concept education and publicity should be strengthened; relevant laws and supporting systems should be improved; Archival information management should be done well; Community rehabilitation management should be strengthened; besides, disabled children should be helped to integrate into the society.
