Cross-national validation of the social media disorder scale: findings from adolescents from 44 countries

2022

Background and aims: There is currently no cross-national validation of a scale that measures problematic social media use (SMU). The present study investigated and compared the psychometric properties of the social media disorder (SMD) scale among young adolescents from different countries. Design: Validation study. Setting and participants: Data came from 222 532 adolescents from 44 countries participating in the health behaviour in school-aged children (HBSC) survey (2017/2018). The HBSC survey was conducted in the European region and Canada. Participants were on average aged 13.54 years (standard deviation = 1.63) and 51.24% were girls. Measurement: Problematic SMU was measured using th…

Children Like Dense Neighborhoods: Orthographic Neighborhood Density Effects in Novel Readers

2008

Previous evidence with English beginning readers suggests that some orthographic effects, such as the orthographic neighborhood density effects, could be stronger for children than for adults. Particularly, children respond more accurately to words with many orthographic neighbors than to words with few neighbors. The magnitude of the effects for children is much higher than for adults, and some researchers have proposed that these effects could be progressively modulated according to reading expertise. The present paper explores in depth how children from 1stto 6thgrade perform a lexical decision with words that are from dense or sparse orthographic neighborhoods, attending not only to acc…

Relationships between affective states and childhood internalizing disorders

2018

Internalizing disorders are mainly defined as psychosomatic, anxiety and depression problems. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between dairy affective states and internalizing disorders in early adolescence (10–12 years old), considering the influence of sex. The participants of the study were 367 children aged between 10 and 12 (190 girls and 177 boys). The results showed that fear was the best predictor for all internalizing disorders, and the only common predictor for all of them. The prediction of boys' internalizing disorders was based only in fear, whereas the prediction for girls involved more variables besides fear. An early detection/regulation of these affect…

Understanding Discipline in Families of Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Structural Equation Model

2009

One hundred and fifty-five mothers of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) completed a semi-structured interview, the Parenting Stress Index Questionnaire (Abidin, 1990), to evaluate parenting stress. The Parenting Scale (Arnold, O’Leary, Wolff & Acker, 1993) was also administered to measure dysfunctional discipline strategies. Structural equation modeling was used to test a model in which the independent variables were the Child’s Characteristics and the Socio-Educational Status of his or her family; intermediate variables were Parenting Stress concerning the Child Domain and concerning the Parent Domain; and the dependent variable was Parental Discipline. The resu…

Measurement Invariance of the Short Version of the Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire (PMPUQ-SV) across Eight Languages

2018

The prevalence of mobile phone use across the world has increased greatly over the past two decades. Problematic Mobile Phone Use (PMPU) has been studied in relation to public health and comprises various behaviours, including dangerous, prohibited, and dependent use. These types of problematic mobile phone behaviours are typically assessed with the short version of the Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire (PMPUQ–SV). However, to date, no study has ever examined the degree to which the PMPU scale assesses the same construct across different languages. The aims of the present study were to (i) determine an optimal factor structure for the PMPUQ–SV among university populations using eig…

Fear of Missing Out as a Predictor of Problematic Social Media Use and Phubbing Behavior among Flemish Adolescents

2018

Fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) refers to feelings of anxiety that arise from the realization that you may be missing out on rewarding experiences that others are having. FOMO can be identified as an intra-personal trait that drives people to stay up to date of what other people are doing, among others on social media platforms. Drawing from the findings of a large-scale survey study among 2663 Flemish teenagers, this study explores the relationships between FOMO, social media use, problematic social media use (PSMU) and phubbing behavior. In line with our expectations, FOMO was a positive predictor of both how frequently teenagers use several social media platforms and of how many platforms the…

Parent and peer attachment as predictors of facebook addiction symptoms in different developmental stages (early adolescents and adolescents)

2019

Abstract Facebook Addiction (FA) is a problem that concerns minors all over the world. The attachment bond with peers and parents has been proven to be a risk factor for the onset of FA. However, the family and peer group can have a different importance depending on the developmental period of the minor. This study examined the influence of peer and parental attachment on the symptoms of FA in early adolescents and adolescents to verify whether attachment to peers and parents predicts FA symptoms in both categories respectively. The sample was composed of 598 participants (142 early adolescents) between the ages of 11 and 17 years (M age = 14.82, SD = 1.52) recruited in the school setting. …

Relación entre el desarrollo de habilidades lingüísticas y el aprendizaje matemático en educación infantil y educación primaria: Estudio longitudinal

2017

El lenguaje como proceso cognitivo complejo y dinámico se encuentra relacionado con diversos procesos de aprendizaje, los estudios se dirigen especialmente a sus relaciones con los procesos de lectura y escritura. Sin embargo, una menor cantidad de estudios se han centrado, sobre todo en los últimos diez años, en establecer relaciones parciales entre algunas habilidades lingüísticas y el rendimiento matemático general o con ciertos aprendizajes matemáticos específicos. No obstante, estos estudios no consideran las relaciones de todas las habilidades lingüísticas que implica el lenguaje como proceso amplio y complejo, con cada tipo de aprendizaje matemático. Además, son escasos aquellos de c…

Violencia directa en los curricula de instituciones educativas emplazadas en contextos de conflicto armado

2015

La tesis propuesta explora y profundiza en las distintas manifestaciones u objetivaciones del curriculum escolar, en la fase preactiva de tres instituciones educativas que se encuentran situadas en la ciudad de Medellín. Metrópoli colombiana de un histórico y manifiesto tejido de violencia directa por medios armados. Y esto con el propósito de conocer la forma en que son tratados los contenidos escolares sobre violencia directa y/o armada. Todo ello en el marco de preguntas del tipo: ¿qué ocurre de especial, entre otras cosas con los planes de estudio, cuando algunas instituciones educativas “modernas” se encuentran emplazadas en comunidades con altos índices de violencia directa por medios…
