“…In 43 samples from 40 studies (99 603 children), the effect size between child screen time and internalizing problems was weak but significant ( r , 0.07; 95% CI, 0.05-0.08) (Figure 3). The funnel plot showed some asymmetry (eFigure 2 in the Supplement), indicating possible publication bias; however, the Egger test result did not suggest that smaller sample sizes had more extreme effect sizes. The Q statistic was significant ( Q , 285.10; P < .001; I 2 , 85.27), and moderator analyses were conducted to explain between-study heterogeneity (Table 1).…”

Association of Screen Time With Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems in Children 12 Years or Younger

et al. 2022

IMPORTANCE Currently, there is a lack of consensus in the literature on the association between screen time (eg, television, video games) and children's behavior problems.OBJECTIVE To assess the association between the duration of screen time and externalizing and internalizing behavior problems among children 12 years or younger.DATA SOURCES For this systematic review and meta-analysis, MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO databases were searched for articles published from January 1960 to May 2021. Reference lists were manually searched for additional studies.STUDY SELECTION Included studies measured screen time (ie, duration) and externalizing or internalizing behavior problems in children 12 years or younger, were observational or experimental (with baseline data), were available in English, and had data that could be transformed into an effect size. Studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic were excluded. Of 25 196 nonduplicate articles identified and screened for inclusion, 595 met the selection criteria.DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline. Extracted variables were child age, sex, and socioeconomic status; informants and measurement type for screen time and behavior problems; study publication year; and study design and quality. Data were extracted by 2 independent coders and were pooled using a random-effects model. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe primary outcome was the association of screen time duration with externalizing (eg, aggression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms) and internalizing (eg, depression, anxiety) behaviors or diagnoses. RESULTSOf the 595 full-text articles assessed for eligibility, 87 studies met all inclusion criteria, comprising 98 independent samples and 159 425 participants (mean [SD] age, 6.07 [2.89] years; 83 246 [51.30%] male). Increased duration of screen time had a small but significant correlation with more externalizing problems (90 samples; r, 0.11; 95% CI, 0.10-0.12) and internalizing problems (43 samples; r, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.05-0.08) in children. Several methodological moderators explained between-study heterogeneity. There was evidence of significant between study heterogeneity (I 2 = 87.80). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCEThis systematic review and meta-analysis found small but significant correlations between screen time and children's behavior problems. Methodological differences across studies likely contributed to the mixed findings in the literature.

“…Fifteen years ago, a large-scale literature review (Buijzen & Valkenburg, 2003a) highlighted a consistently positive correlation between exposure to TV advertising and youth materialism concluding that “analysis clearly suggests that exposure to advertising stimulates materialistic values in children” (p. 451). Work since then has reinforced this finding (e.g., Dunkeld et al, 2019; Goldberg et al, 2003; Schor, 2004), and at the same time, longitudinal and experimental studies, past and present, have supported the hypothesis that advertising exposure leads to materialism rather than the alternative proposition that materialistic children seek out adverts to inform their compulsion to purchase.…”

TV adverts, materialism, and children’s self-esteem: The role of socio-economic status

Levels of debt and poor mental health are at an all-time high among UK families, while the gap between rich and poor has also widened. Exposure and susceptibility to advertising, belief that purchased products will lead to happiness (materialism), and poor mental well-being have been shown to be linked in previous research, but the role of children’s socio-economic status has seldom been taken into account. A greater understanding of the effects of this dynamic among those without the ready money to purchase highly advertised and desired products is important, particularly given the connections with children’s low self-esteem. This study aimed to (1) quantify differences in TV advertising exposure, materialism, and self-esteem between deprived and affluent children, (2) measure differences in susceptibility to the effect of TV advertising exposure on materialism between deprived and affluent children, and (3) measure differences in susceptibility to the effect of materialism on self-esteem between deprived and affluent children. It was found that children from deprived backgrounds were more materialistic than children from affluent homes, and that this was the result of both higher exposure to advertising and higher belief in the credibility of advertising. At the same time, we found that children from affluent backgrounds were more susceptible to advertising’s reinforcing effect on materialism, whereas children from deprived background were more susceptible to materialism’s detrimental effect on self-esteem. Two different dynamics appear to be at play in the two groups. This adds a new dimension to our understanding of the role of advertising in a society with high levels of inequality.

“…Policymakers and consumer advocacy groups should pay specific attention to children. Research has shown that children's exposure to materialistic messages is associated with materialism (Buijzen & Valkenburg, 2003; Dunkeld et al, 2020). In today's world, children are exposed to an enormous amount of marketing messages both on traditional and social media.…”

How thoughts of death and intrinsic/extrinsic goal orientation affect well‐being during the pandemic

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, reminders of death are so ubiquitous that it is almost impossible to avoid death‐related thoughts. This research examined the effect of COVID‐19‐induced thoughts of death on life evaluation, a core component of well‐being, and investigated the moderating role of goal orientation in this effect. Results from two experiments (N = 384) indicated that participants with a relative orientation toward extrinsic aspirations (wealth, fame, image) decreased their life evaluation, both when under conscious death thoughts (Study 1) and after being distracted from these thoughts (Study 2). By contrast, participants with a relative orientation toward intrinsic aspirations (personal growth, meaningful relationships, community contributions) increased their life evaluation when under conscious death thoughts, while they maintained their baseline life evaluation after being distracted from these thoughts. This research also found evidence for the moderating role of belongingness. However, no evidence was found for the moderating roles of self‐esteem and attachment style.
