The risks and opportunities associated with the use of technologies are of growing research interest. Patterns of technology usage illuminate these opportunities and risks. However, no studies have assessed the usage patterns (frequency, duration, and intensity) and related factors in young people with intellectual disabilities.
Questionnaires on Internet and cell phone usage patterns, the Internet Over-Use Scale and the Cell-Phone Over-Use Scale, as well as the Beck Depression Inventory were filled out in one-on-one interviews of 216 youth with intellectual disabilities.
Young people with disabilities make more social and recreational rather than educational use of these tools, and show higher rates of excessive use of both technologies than a comparison group of 410 young people without disabilities. Also, their overuse is associated with other unhealthy behaviors.
The framework of support needs of people with disabilities should be considered to promote healthy Internet and cell phone use.
与技术使用相关的风险和机遇正受到越来越多的研究关注。技术使用模式揭示了这些机遇和风险。然而,尚无研究评估智障青年的技术使用模式(频率、时长和强度)及相关因素。
通过对216名智障青年进行一对一访谈,让他们填写关于互联网和手机使用模式、网络过度使用量表、手机过度使用量表以及贝克抑郁量表的问卷。
残疾青年更多地将这些工具用于社交和娱乐而非教育,并且与410名非残疾青年对照组相比,他们对这两种技术的过度使用率更高。此外,他们的过度使用还与其他不健康行为相关。
应考虑残疾人支持需求框架,以促进健康的互联网和手机使用。
