“…A higher score indicates higher peer PSU. Peer attitudes towards smartphone use These two factors were revised from peers' attitude on Internet overuse and peer pressure for Internet use (Jin-tao, Chao, Feng-e, Lin-yuan, & Xiao-yi, 2012;Zhou et al, 2019). Peer attitudes towards smartphone use consisted of 6 items (participants were asked "What is your peers' attitude about the following description?"…”

Background and aimsTo understand the interaction between problematic smartphone use (PSU) and related influencing factors (individual variables, family environment, and school environment) and to determine the most influential factors affecting the use of smartphones by juveniles to implement effective interventions in the future.MethodsA total of 3,442 children and adolescents (3,248 actual participants (males = 1,638, average age = 12.27 ± 2.36)) were included in the study. This study measured juveniles’ PSU and its influencing factors: individual variables (4 factors), family environments (13 factors), and school environments (5 factors). This study employed a network analysis approach for data assessment.ResultsThis study found that there were several central influencing factors (such as self-control ability, loss of control, parent-child relationship, and peer attitudes towards smartphone use) and bridge factors (such as peer attitudes towards smartphone use, peer pressure for smartphone use, and fear of missing out).Discussion and conclusionsJuveniles’ PSU included several core symptoms and critical influencing factors. Intervention based on these factors may be effective, timely, and inexpensive.

“…While terms such as maladaptive or problematic Internet use have been defined in various ways, there is still no clear definition of maladaptive or problematic game use. Thus, based on the research on Internet use [45], we define maladaptive game use as game use by an individual beyond his or her ability to control.…”

Adolescent aggression manifests in problematic game use and ultimately undermines life quality. This study deals with the mechanisms behind adolescents' perception of parenting, maladaptive game use, self-control, and life satisfaction within the context of integrated supportive-positive parenting and harsh-negative parenting. Using 778 valid panel data from the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), we reached the conclusions that both supportive-positive parenting and harsh-negative parenting, mediated by self-control and maladaptive game use, are major predictors of adolescents' life satisfaction. PLS-SEM analysis was used for the hypothesized model test. This study helped bridge the gap in existing research by finding clues to recovering parent–child relationships from the side effects of youth game use.

“…In a study of adolescent in Asia, a strong predictor for PIU is the parenting style, where mothers often worry about their sons and fathers like to worry about their daughters, which will create an uncomfortable relationship for children. These conditions open up opportunities for children to seek comfort through the Internet (Lei & Wu, 2007;Zhou et al, 2019). In the case of overprotective parents who show excessive concern with children carrying out activities outside of their control, usually the child will be conditioned to always be close to parents, but this pattern also has the potential to be affected by PIU.…”

Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is a disorder that involves Internet use and has the potential to happen to adolescents in the current digital age. As PIU predictors, parent attachment is one of the variables often studied by many researchers. However, in the development of technology where attachment between parents and children can be created through sophisticated devices, it is necessary to review whether the lack of parent attachments still has a relevant relationship with PIU. The aims of this literature review is to provide information about the relationship between parent attachment and adolescents' problematic internet use in the year of 2015 to 2019. A total of 72,275 participants from various countries were involved in the study, which was summarized in 25 articles. Literature search uses the Google Scholar database with several publishers, such as science direct and others. The method of selecting scientific articles is in accordance with the screening criteria preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyzes (PRISMA). Results show that lack of parent attachment is still the most influential variable on PIU, even though technology has helped parents to create attachment with their children. Interventions with a persuasive approach from parents to children directly become the most effective choice to help adolescents with PIU.
