“…Of the 43 articles included (Table 3), 31 were crosssectional [4, 57-60, 62-82, 87-89, 91, 95, 97] and only 10 longitudinal [61, 83-86, 90, 92-94, 96, 98] and 2 case-control studies were found [55,56]. Depressive symptoms were the most investigated wellbeing outcome (23 studies: [4, 56-67, 83-86, 88, 92-95, 97, 98]), followed by loneliness (10 studies: [55,56,62,[67][68][69][70][71][72]93]), life satisfaction (8 studies: [73][74][75][76][77][89][90][91]), selfesteem (6 studies: [66, 67, 78-80, 87, 93]), happiness (5 studies: [67,70,76,81,83,86]), and subjective wellbeing (5 studies: [78,79,82,91,96]).…”

“…As human beings, non-material social assistance from friends and significant others is a need that when fulfilled can significantly impact on our perception of life satisfaction as shown in several researches [165][166][167][168]. However, considering that all, but one [90], of the studies included in this review are crosssectional in nature [73-77, 89, 91], temporality could not be implied with high certainty. Further studies with a longitudinal design are needed to address the directionality concern, increase the validity of evidence, and better understand the mechanism that governs this relationship.…”

“…Seven cross-sectional [73-77, 89, 91] and one longitudinal studies [90] have been identified and included into our review that assessed whether good peer relationship is associated with adolescents' perception of life satisfaction. The quality index score of these studies ranges from eight to thirteen.…”

Association between friendship quality and subjective wellbeing among adolescents: a systematic review

Background Social integration with friends has an important role in shaping adolescents’ behavior and determining their wellbeing. Friendship features such as companionship, trust, closeness, intimacy, and conflicts all form the concept of friendship quality. The quality of friendships can either enhance or impede mental development during adolescence. Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to understand the association between friendship quality and adolescents’ mental wellbeing. Methods In November 2020 and later in August 2022, the search for evidence was conducted on five databases (Medline, Embase, ProQuest, Scopus, and PsycINFO). Only peer-reviewed quantitative studies published from January 2000 to August 2022 that investigated friendship quality as their exposure variable in relation to six constructs of subjective wellbeing (mood, loneliness, life satisfaction, happiness, self-esteem, and subjective wellbeing) were included. After screening for eligibility, two reviewers independently extracted the data based on population characteristics, study design, exposure and outcome variables, outcome measures used, and results. Risk of bias assessment was performed utilizing the NIH Quality Assessment Tool. Narrative evidence synthesis was performed based on the constructs of subjective wellbeing. Results Forty-three articles out of 21,585 records were included in the review. The relationship between friendship quality and depression has been investigated extensively in the literature and negative (beneficial) associations were found in eighteen studies out of twenty-three. Poor peer relationship was associated with loneliness in nine studies out of ten. All seven studies on life satisfaction and quality of peer connection found a positive association. In five studies, better peer relationship was found to be associated with happiness. A positive association between friendship quality and self-esteem was observed in five out of six applicable studies. Friendship quality was found to be positively associated with subjective well-being in all of five included studies. Conclusions Although majority of the included studies were cross-sectional in nature, this review demonstrates the paramount value of promoting healthy friendship to adolescents’ subjective wellbeing constructs. Interventions that aim to promote subjective wellbeing among adolescents should consider the development and maintenance of healthy friendships. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42020219312.

“…A higher score indicates a better peer relationship. This scale has shown good reliability in the Korean adolescent samples ( Lim, 2023 ), and the Cronbach's α was 0.808. Additionally, a 14-item tool by Kim and Kim (2009) was utilized to find the student-teacher relationship using the same Likert scale.…”

Background and aimsThe current research aimed to discover classification concerning problematic smartphone use in children. Furthermore, to investigate their longitudinal trajectories, as well as to discover the connection concerning problematic smartphone usage by individual, parental, and school factors.MethodsA total of 2,399 South Korean children who were in the 4th grade (female 1,206 (50.3%), age 10–13 years) at baseline. Latent class growth analysis was utilized to discover typologies in problematic smartphone use and their longitudinal trajectories. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to find various associations among problematic smartphone use and individual, parental, as well as school factors.ResultsThe results identified three distinct trajectories of problematic smartphone use: (1) a high-level group (7.7%), (2) a mid-increasing group (62.5%), and (3) a low-increasing group (29.8%). The increasing group showed the highest level of problematic smartphone use. Gender, self-esteem, social withdrawal, exercise, parental inconsistency, monthly income, and teacher support were significant predictors.Discussion and ConclusionsThe findings suggest that there are distinct developmental trajectories concerning problematic smartphone usage of childhood. The results show that the early discovery of children in danger of problematic smartphone use and targeted interventions aimed at reducing parental inconsistency and social withdrawal, improving self-esteem, exercise, and teacher support may be effective strategies for preventing problematic smartphone usage during childhood.

“…Particularly during the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been a significant increase in Internet usage among adolescents [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. PIU can have various negative effects on adolescents’ developmental adaptation, including sleep disorders [ 8 ], academic performance decline [ 9 ], low self-efficacy [ 10 ], and subsequent impacts on peer relationships and life satisfaction [ 11 ], among others. Regarding potential confounding variables or the formation process of PIU, existing research mainly focuses on individual traits [ 12 ] and pre-existing environmental factors [ 13 , 14 ].…”

In today’s information society, with the growing integration of the Internet into individuals’ lives, problematic Internet use (PIU) among adolescents has become more prevalent. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate the correlation between active parental mediation and PIU in adolescents, as well as the potential mediating roles of parent–child relationship and adolescents’ hiding online behavior. A total of 539 middle school students (mean age = 13.384) were recruited for this study and participated by completing a series of paper-and-pencil questionnaires. The findings indicated a significant negative relationship between active parental mediation and PIU. Furthermore, both the mediating role of the parent–child relationship and the role of hiding online behavior were found to be significant. Specifically, the mediating role is comprised of two paths: the independent mediating role of the parent–child relationship, and the sequential mediating role involving both the parent–child relationship and hiding online behavior. The study contributes an innovative theoretical perspective to deepen the understanding of the formation mechanism of PIU. Moreover, it offers practical empirical insights for the prevention and intervention of PIU among adolescents.
