The children and adolescents of today's generation are growing up in a media-saturated world. Digital media use has become the most common sedentary leisure time activity among children and adolescents. In the past decade, the development of mobile and digital technologies has taken place at such a rapid rate that researchers have had difficulties reporting evidence within limited timeframes. Growing evidence indicates that screen media usage by teenagers and pre-adolescents has deleterious ramifications on mental wellbeing. In addition to the benefits of screen media for exposure to a wide range of information and quick communication, the use of screen media has been correlated with adverse physical, psychological and social health consequences. This study focuses on the increasing use of screen media and their consequences on the various aspects of mental health of adolescents and preadolescents.
如今的儿童和青少年成长在一个媒体饱和的世界里。数字媒体的使用已经成为儿童和青少年最常见的久坐休闲活动。在过去的十年中，移动和数字技术的发展如此之快，以至于研究人员在有限的时间内难以报告证据。越来越多的证据表明，青少年和青春期前儿童使用屏幕媒体对心理健康有不良影响。除了屏幕媒体在广泛接触信息和快速交流方面的好处外，使用屏幕媒体与不良的身体、心理和社会健康后果有关。本研究关注的是屏幕媒体使用的增加及其对青少年和青春期前儿童心理健康各个方面的影响。
