Previous longitudinal studies found significant associations between screen time and increase in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, but the mechanisms mediating this association remain understudied. Thus, we used data from a 5-year population-based cohort of nearly 4000 Canadian high school students, modeled using multivariate multilevel mediation, to investigate (i.e., social media, television, video games, computer use) with ADHD symptoms via different potential behavioral neuropsychological mediators (i.e. impulsivity, response inhibition, working memory). We studied direct indirect between-person, concurrent within-person, lagged-within-person effects screens on symptoms. Results showed that increases given year were associated an exacerbation within same (within-person association), over above common vulnerability (between-person association). Impulsivity proved be most robust mediator at both within-person levels.

Adolescents are more likely to experience problematic smartphone use (PSU) due developmental immaturity. As most previous studies have focused on cross-sectional relationships between PSU, self-control, and physical activity, it is difficult make valid inferences about their causal long-term effects. This study aims investigate the interrelationships these three variables through a mediation analysis based cross-lagged model in longitudinal design. A total of 2131 participants (Mage = 12.14, SD 2.29, 51.5% female) were surveyed at time points with 1-year intervals.

The escalating prevalence of studies investigating digital addiction (DA) and its detrimental impact on the human brain’s structure functionality has been noticeable in recent years. Yet, an overwhelming majority these reviews have predominantly geared towards samples comprising college students or adults only inspected a single variant DA, such as internet gaming disorder, problematic smartphone use, tablet overuse, so forth. Reviews focusing young children adolescents (ages 0–18), those which amalgamate various types are decidedly scarce. Given this context, summarizing effects DA brain during vital developmental stage (0–18 years) is immense significance. A scoping review, complying with PRISMA extension for reviews, was conducted to findings from 28 spanning decade (2013–2023) examine influence assorted forms brains years). synthesized evidence indicated two primary results: (1) exerts harmful adolescents, (2) prefrontal lobe region most consistently reported impacted across all research.
