To examine associations between screen time (television, video or DVD, gaming, and computer use) and attachment to parents and peers in 2 cohorts of adolescents 16 years apart.
Cross-sectional data regarding screen time and attachment to parents and peers were collected for 2 cohorts of adolescents, one in 1987-1988 (the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study [DMHDS] cohort) and the other in 2004 (the Youth Lifestyle Study [YLS] cohort).
Members of the DMHDS cohort were interviewed as part of a full day of assessment, and members of the YLS cohort completed a self-report questionnaire in a supervised classroom setting.
The DMHDS cohort (n = 976) was aged 15 years in 1987-1988. The YLS cohort (n = 3043) was aged 14 to 15 years in 2004.
Screen time and low attachment to parents and peers as measured by the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment.
More time spent television viewing and less time spent reading and doing homework were associated with low attachment to parents for both cohorts. Among the YLS cohort, more time spent playing on a computer was also associated with low attachment to parents. Among the DMHDS cohort, more time spent television viewing was associated with low attachment to peers.
Screen time was associated with poor attachment to parents and peers in 2 cohorts of adolescents 16 years apart. Given the importance of attachment to parents and peers in adolescent health and development, concern about high levels of screen time among adolescents is warranted.
研究相隔16年的两组青少年中，屏幕使用时间（看电视、录像或DVD、玩游戏及使用电脑）与对父母及同伴的依恋之间的关联。
收集了两组青少年关于屏幕使用时间以及对父母和同伴依恋情况的横断面数据，一组是1987 - 1988年（达尼丁多学科健康与发展研究[DMHDS]队列），另一组是2004年（青少年生活方式研究[YLS]队列）。
DMHDS队列成员作为全天评估的一部分接受访谈，YLS队列成员在有监督的课堂环境中完成一份自我报告问卷。
DMHDS队列（n = 976）在1987 - 1988年时年龄为15岁。YLS队列（n = 3043）在2004年时年龄为14至15岁。
通过父母与同伴依恋量表测量的屏幕使用时间以及对父母和同伴的低依恋程度。
两组中，看电视时间增加以及阅读和做作业时间减少均与对父母的低依恋相关。在YLS队列中，玩电脑时间增加也与对父母的低依恋相关。在DMHDS队列中，看电视时间增加与对同伴的低依恋相关。
相隔16年的两组青少年中，屏幕使用时间与对父母和同伴的不良依恋相关。鉴于对父母和同伴的依恋在青少年健康与发展中的重要性，对青少年高屏幕使用时间的担忧是有必要的。
