“…In early prevention, we should pay attention to improving students' self-control ability and control or monitor the time that students use smartphones to prevent them from excessively using them. An effective way may be parental restrictive mediation related to students' smartphones because previous discussions have indicated that parental restrictive mediation and control exert a protective effect on adolescents' PSU (Chang et al, 2019;Chou & Chou, 2019;Meeus, Eggermont, & Beullens, 2019). Ko, Choi, Yang, Lee, and Lee (2015) created a useful mobile service that regards limiting the use of smartphones as a family activity, which emphasizes limits on screen time, enhancements in selfcontrol abilities, and participation with family members.…”

Background and aimsPrevious research has established risk factors for problematic smartphone use (PSU), but few studies to date have explored the structure of PSU symptoms. This study capitalizes on network analysis to identify the core symptoms of PSU in a large sample of students.MethodsThis research investigated 26,950 grade 4 students (male = 13,271) and 11,687 grade 8 students (male = 5,739) using the smartphone addiction proneness scale (SAPS). The collected data were analyzed using a network analysis method, which can provide centrality indexes to determine the core symptoms of PSU. The two networks from the different groups were compared using a permutation test.ResultsThe results indicated that the core symptoms of students' problematic smartphone use were the loss of control and continued excessive use across the two samples.Discussion and conclusionsThese findings suggest that loss of control is a key feature of problematic smartphone use. The results also provide some evidence relevant to previous research from the perspective of network analysis and some suggestions for future treatment or prevention of students' problematic smartphone use.

“…Inherent parent- and family-related factors play a significant role in preventing Internet addiction [ 4 , 8 , 9 ]. The family’s influence on adolescent Internet addiction has always been an important issue, especially the relationship between adolescent Internet addiction and family from the perspective of parent-adolescent communication, which has been of interest to several researchers [ 10 , 11 ]. Parent-adolescent communication is a crucial aspect of the family system and refers to the adolescents’ perception of communication with their parents [ 12 ].…”

Although a large body of research has indicated that parent-adolescent communication is a crucial protective factor for adolescent Internet addiction, the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. To address this research gap, this study, based on social control theory and the organism-environment interaction model, was designed to test whether school engagement mediated the relationship between parent-adolescent communication and adolescent Internet addiction and whether this mediating effect was moderated by rejection sensitivity. A sample of 1006 adolescents (Meanage = 13.16 years, SD = 0.67) anonymously completed the questionnaires. The results showed that the positive association between parent-adolescent communication and adolescent Internet addiction was mediated by school engagement. Moreover, this indirect link was stronger among adolescents with high rejection sensitivity than those with low rejection sensitivity. These findings highlighted school engagement as a potential mechanism linking parent-adolescent communication to adolescent Internet addiction, with high rejection sensitivity being an important risk factor amplifying this indirect effect. Intervention programs aimed at reducing Internet addiction among adolescents might benefit from the current research.

“…Mobile phone has become the social phenomena all over the world especially in least developed countries like Africa, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Iran [11]. However, mobile phone has both positive and negative impacts depending on its usage, because it is enveloping new communication technology among youth [12]. e usage of mobile phone was limited to big cities few years ago.…”

The study aims to explore the access of mobile phone, emerging technologies, and use of the mobile phone by the youth of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), Pakistan, for learning and safety and security purposes. Structured questionnaires were used to collect the data. The descriptive statistics was employed to test the research model. Among the 300 distributed sample size, 272 participants responded back including 133 male and 139 female students of Karakoram International University (KIU) from eight districts of GB as research participants for data collection. Only 1 male and 6 females responded that they do not have their own mobile phone, comprising of 90.6% response rate. The results show that 97% of students of rural mountainous areas own a mobile phone. The study contributes valuable findings about the access and positive use of mobile phones for learning and safety and security purposes. The result also shows that the youth of GB have enough skills of mobile phone technologies to cope with the future challenges of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) by taking advantages of China Pakistan Information Corridor (CPIC is a fiber optics cable laid down from the China border to Islamabad Pakistan for the purpose of providing the fast internet facility including 5G). This is the baseline survey and future study will be based on this survey.
