Most studies of screen time of adolescents have been carried out in well-developed countries. There is little information concerning screen time of adolescents in developing countries such as Turkey.
This study examined the screen time of adolescents with regard to gender, school type and sport participation in Turkey, selected as an example of an economically developing country.
A total of 916 high school students participated in this study. The household activities and sport indexes of the Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire were administered to the participants.
Male students had higher screen time (hours/day) than female students and the screen time of the adolescents was longer at the weekends than on weekdays (p < 0.01). The students attending private schools spent more screen time on both weekdays and weekends than those attending public schools (p < 0.01). The results did not reveal significant screen time differences with regard to participation duration in sport activities (p>0.05).
Male adolescents and students attending private schools had a higher screen time rate than their counterparts, both on weekdays and at the weekend. Participating in sport for different durations did not make any difference to the screen time of these adolescents.
大多数关于青少年屏幕使用时间的研究是在发达国家进行的。对于像土耳其这样的发展中国家，有关青少年屏幕使用时间的信息很少。
本研究以一个经济发展中国家土耳其为例，考察了青少年在性别、学校类型和体育活动参与方面的屏幕使用时间。
共有916名高中生参与了本研究。向参与者发放了身体活动评估问卷中的家庭活动和体育指数部分。
男学生的屏幕使用时间（小时/天）高于女学生，且青少年在周末的屏幕使用时间比工作日更长（p < 0.01）。私立学校的学生在工作日和周末的屏幕使用时间都比公立学校的学生多（p < 0.01）。结果未显示出体育活动参与时长对屏幕使用时间有显著差异（p>0.05）。
男性青少年和私立学校的学生在工作日和周末的屏幕使用时间率都高于同龄人。不同时长的体育活动参与对这些青少年的屏幕使用时间没有任何影响。
