These results consistent with the study by Srisinghasongkram et al 21 who stated that had high significant correlation between gender and conduct, hyperactive behavior of child. Also, cohort with the study performed by Domoff et al 5 who detected that there was association between excessive mobile device use and children's physical health outcomes.…”

Background:The time that children spend using digital devices is increasing rapidly with the development of new portable and instantly accessible technology. Mobile devices are embedded in and dominate the daily lives of young children. Research Aims: assess the effect of using smart mobile device on child Prosocial and difficult behaviors in school age. Methodology: A cross sectional research design was utilized at August 2019 -January 2020. Convenience sample include the 400 school children. An online survey by using Google form, which contains three parts (characteristics of parents, children and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire). Results: revealed that47.2% and 47.7% of studied children had abnormal emotional symptoms and conduct problems. In addition (34.5%) of studied children was normal related peer problems domain. Also, (51.2%) of them was abnormal related hyperactivity. While, (30%) of studied children had normal Prosocial behavior. Conclusions: the current study concluded that about half of studied children had abnormal Prosocial and difficult behaviors and less than one quarter of them had borderline Prosocial and difficult behaviors. While, less than one third of them had normal Prosocial and difficult behaviors.

“…However, such data were not comprehensively measured in previous literature and had no questionnaires specific to screen media use in a hospital setting, particularly in the Thai cultural context. As a result, such questionnaires were developed based on clinical experiences during ward rounds, previous articles on media research, and an agreement by a team consensus composed of three developmental and behavioral pediatricians who had expertise in the field [ 2 – 4 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 14 , 18 , 20 , 21 ]. The internal consistency of the questionnaires regarding the reasons for hospitalized media use and caregiver’s discipline and rules over the child’s screen media use in our study participants had Cronbach’s alpha of 0.76 and 0.74, respectively.…”

“…Caregivers were more likely to overestimate their discipline and rules over the child’s screen media use. As a result, stringent cut-off criteria of discipline were originally preferred to determine that caregivers should have certain levels of discipline over the child’s screen media use because real-world disciplining practices on the child’s screen media use are likely to be very challenging [ 7 , 14 , 18 , 20 , 21 ]. To be classified as having positive discipline over the child’s screen media use as “mostly true” and “certainly true,” caregivers should rate 4 or 5 for each item.…”

Screen media use in hospitalized children is more prevalent than such media use in a home setting. Research on characteristics and extent to which screen media are used in hospitalized children in addition to associated factors is scarce. This study aims to examine the duration and factors associated with screen media use in hospitalized children. From February to November 2020, a cross-sectional study was conducted in hospitalized children (age range 1-194 months, median age 44.5 (IQR 14-123.5) months) and their caregivers at a single tertiary care hospital using a media questionnaire combined with a thorough interview. Of 254 participants who were enrolled, 239 (94%) had been exposed to screen media in the hospital with a median duration of exposure of 6 (IQR 2-11) h/day. Children who used more than one screen media device (standardized beta (β) = 0.16, p < 0.001), having difficulty stopping media use (β = 0.16, p < 0.001), having lower numbers of positive discipline techniques over media use (β = 0.16, p = 0.001), and less media co-viewing with verbal interaction with their caregivers (β = 0.12, p = 0.004) were significantly associated with longer screen media use in a hospital setting.Conclusion: Hospitalized children spent 6 h/day on screen media. Fostering positive discipline over media use and coviewing with verbal interaction during screen time may minimize screen media overuse in hospitalized children. What is Known:• Screen media use in hospitalized children is often observed during ward rounds.• Hospitalized children had increased access to screen media in hospital rooms compared to their homes. What is New:• Difficulty stopping media use, having lower numbers of positive discipline techniques over media use, and less media co-viewing with caregivers were associated with longer screen media use in hospitalized children. • Fostering positive discipline over media use and verbal interaction from caregivers during media co-viewing may minimize screen media overuse in hospitalized children.

“…Other studies did not always replicate these results Elbe, Sörman, Mellqvist, Brändström, & Ljungberg, 2019;Minear et al, 2013;Seddon, Law, Adams, & Simmons, 2018) or suggested that the relationships between levels of media multitasking and cognitive performance may be non-linear (Cardoso-Leite et al, 2016;Shin, Linke, & Kemps, 2020). The results seem clearer when using surveys and self-reports rather than computerized tests (Magen, 2017): media multitasking has been associated with deficits in self-reported everyday executive and attentional functions (Baumgartner, Weeda, Heijden, & Huizinga, 2014;Magen, 2017;Ralph et al, 2014;Rogobete, Ionescu, & Miclea, 2020) and could be particularly detrimental at younger ages where executive functions develop intensely (Baumgartner, van der Schuur, Lemmens, & te Poel, 2018; see also Srisinghasongkram, Trairatvorakul, Maes, & Chonchaiya, 2020).…”

The rise in digital media consumption, especially among children, raises the societal question of its impact on cognition, mental health and academic achievement. Here, we review the impact of three different ways of measuring technology use—total hours of media consumed, hours of video game play and number of media used concurrently—in a study surveying 156 eight-to-twelve year-old children. At stake is the question of whether different technology uses may have different effects, which could explain some of the past mixed findings.We collected data over three sessions relating to children’s media uses as well as (i) attentional and behavioral control abilities, (ii) psychological distress, psychosocial functioning, and sleep, and (iii) academic achievement and motivation. While attentional control abilities were assessed using both cognitive tests (D2, SART, BLAST) and questionnaires (mind-wandering; Connors), mental health and sleep were all questionnaire-based (K6, Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire-SDQ, Sleep Quality/Quantity). Finally, academic performance was based on self-reported grades, with motivational variables being measured through the grit and the growth-mindset questionnaires. We present partial correlation analyses and construct a psychological network to assess the structural associations between different forms of media consumption and the three categories of measures.Our results are in line with those observed with adults: children consume large amounts of media and media multitask substantially. Partial correlation analyses show that media multitasking specifically was mostly correlated with negative mental health, while playing video games was associated with faster responding and better mental health. No significant partial correlations were observed for total hours on media. Psychological network analysis complement these first results by indicating that all three ways of consuming technology are only indirectly related to self-reported grades. Thus, technology uses appear to only indirectly relate to academic performance, while more directly affecting mental health.This work emphasizes the need to differentiate among technology uses when considering their impact on human behavior, It also highlights the importance of characterizing the variety of technology uses that need to be considered, if one is to understand how every day digital consumption impacts human behavior.
