Digital technology use (i.e. digital activity) has been proposed to contribute a decline in adolescents' mental health. We present new model of how risky activity may increase depressed mood via reciprocal pathways, creating negative developmental cycles. Specifically, we hypothesize that increases by evoking frequent and persistent affective (e.g. anger) cognitive reactions "I feel stupid"). These effects, postulate, are compounded when further both it. The also proposes these impacts can be mitigated actively managing it and/or the evokes. All pathways hypothesized moderated nondigital factors.

Furthermore, introduces several key interacting processes, including purposeful/habitual modes engagement, approach/avoidance behaviours, well potential for exacerbate/ameliorate biases. The purpose act aide therapists collaboratively formulate role young people’s lives, view informing treatment, ultimately, supporting development interventions help people service their needs values.

Our population included 36 third seventh grade enrolled section. Learners were placed into four triads section period 14–18 weeks. Findings found physical technologies produced most talk, followed condition. Screen‐based talk. However, further investigated discovered supported forms agency creativity facilitated learners' ability develop digital fluency.
