Debates concerning the impacts of screen time are widespread. Existing research presents mixed findings, and lacks longitudinal evidence for any causal or long-term effects. We present a critical account current shortcomings literature. These include poor conceptualisation, use non-standardised measures that predominantly self-report, issues with measuring over context. Based on these issues, we make series recommendations as basis furthering academic public debate. drawing user-focused...

This study examined the long‐term correlates of victimization in school with aspects functioning adult life, using a specially designed Retrospective Bullying Questionnaire, which also included questions about short‐term effects (e. g. suicidal ideation and intrusive memories) experiences adulthood. Current relationship quality was assessed terms self‐perception, attachment style friendship quality. In total, 884 adults (35% male) from two occupations (teacher, student) three countries...

An important element of many anti-bullying programmes is encouraging victims to tell someone about their predicament. Research has already reported prevalence telling, who/when children and efficacy telling. However, seeking help can be viewed as a coping behaviour, processes such appraisal emotion may predictors whether pupils ask for help.To examine the effects that background variables (gender, school-stage), victimisation (duration, frequency), (threat, challenge, control) negative have...

The problem of a rigid cylinder rolling on the surface viscoelastic solid is solved in an approximation which inertial forces are neglected. With introduction effects, symmetry associated with corresponding elastic destroyed, and particular motion impeded by resistive force. For standard linear solid, resulting coefficient friction, function velocity V, tends to zero for small large values attains single maximum at intermediate value.

Background. The experiences of peer‐victimization and bullying are often treated empirically as though they conceptually indistinct. Both involve repeated aggression, but definitions additionally emphasize the importance aggressor intent imbalance power between victim ( Olweus, 1978 ; Whitney & Smith, 1993 ). Aims. present study aimed to examine extent which similar. Sample. sample comprised 1,429 pupils (50.2% male) aged 8 13 years attending mainstream Scottish schools. Method....

Paediatric recommendations to limit children’s and adolescents’ screen based media use (SBMU) less than two hours per day appear have gone unheeded. Given the associated adverse physical mental health outcomes of SBMU it is understandable that concern growing worldwide. However, because majority studies measuring focused on TV viewing, computer use, video game playing, or a combination these true extent total (including non-sedentary hand held devices) time spent specific activities remains...

Adolescents are constantly connected with each other and the digital landscape through a myriad of screen media devices. Unprecedented access to wider world hence variety activities, particularly since introduction mobile technology, has given rise questions regarding impact this changing environment on mental health young people.

Objective: To examine the factor structure of Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) with Australian adolescents and without ADHD. Method: The MASC was administered to 210 high school–aged (109 males, 101 females), 115 whom were clinically diagnosed as ADHD (86 29 females). remaining 95 non-ADHD community comparisons. Results: Analyses supported a three-factor model, reduced item pool, which combined Harm Avoidance Separation scales together. This model invariant across younger...

Transactional models of coping (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984) can contribute to our understanding why some children cope effectively with bullying while others suffer negative outcomes. However, previous research has relied on measures that are not comparable adult measures, restricting investigation developmental trends. Additionally, included appraisals when measuring using an established measure.To examine the factor structure a measure is directly literature; content pupils' threat and...

Almost all children play video games at some point and many regularly. Not only are ubiquitous in children’s leisure environments but the motivational skill-enhancing potentialities of this technology being exploited increasingly education. Good quality games, which challenging, instructive, absorbing, can make learning enjoyable effective. But is case for who struggle school? This paper reviews emerging literature on game uses by with special educational needs. With reference to both...

Objectives: Although converging evidence has identified sleep problems as robust predictors of suicidal ideation in young people, the psychological processes driving these associations are not yet known.The current study aimed to test predictions, informed by Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) Model Suicidal Behaviour, concerning role feelings defeat and entrapment within sleep-suicide relationship.Methods: Fifteen sixteen year old volunteers (n=1045) from Scottish secondary schools...

The ways in which children appraise and cope with school bullying are likely to influence the long-term outcomes experienced. To examine this possibility, 219 Spanish undergraduate students (73 male, 146 female) aged between 18 40, completed an adapted version of Retrospective Bullying Questionnaire (RBQ; Schäfer et al., 2004) a distress scale (Rivers, 1999). Results indicated that neither coping strategies reported by victims nor match control appraisal strategy influenced levels...

Contrary to most prior research, this study employed indicator positive assessed impact individual characteristics, perceived social environmental incivilities, indicators cognitive capital, safety. Analyses data from a large regional UK representative (n=8237; 69.64% response rate) found influential determinants were...
