“…The percentage was much lower than those found in studies of rural or urban LBC. For instance, in a study of a representative sample of rural children ( N = 15,232), Peng et al ( 49 ) found that 24.6% of the children were left-behind. Another a small sample study ( N = 796) in Chongqing, China, using random sampling, found that 41.7% of children were left behind in the urban ( 50 ).…”

AimSleep disturbance was closely associated with an increased risk of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). This study aims to explore the association between sleep disturbance and PLEs among urban adolescents with and without parental migration.MethodsA total of 67, 532 urban Chinese adolescents were recruited in a large web-based survey during April 21st to May 12th, 2021. In our study, sleep disturbance, PLEs, family function, school climate, and a series of socio-demographic were assessed. And hierarchical logistic regression analyses were performed to examine influential factors associated with PLEs.ResultsUrban left-behind children (LBC) had a higher prevalence of sleep disturbance and PLEs than non-LBC. After controlling for confounders, parental migration was associated to PLEs with weak significance (OR = 1.19). Meanwhile, sleep disturbance was found to be a robust risk factor for PLEs (OR = 3.84 and 4.09), with or without the effect of parental migration. In addition, better family function and school climate has significant association with decreased risk of PLEs.ConclusionAdolescents with sleep disturbance are more likely to report PLEs. Adolescents' PLEs preventive strategies could focus on reducing sleep disturbance related symptoms as well as improving family function and school climate.

“…Recent evidence shows that the estimated prevalence of problematic internet use (PIU) ranged from 20.0 to 44.6% in different regions (Chia et al, 2020 ; Endomba et al, 2022 ), and this phenomenon was found to be more prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic (Masaeli & Farhadi, 2021 ). Such findings have heightened concerns about the potential adverse impact of problematic internet use on various aspects of mental health, such as depressive symptoms, anxiety, loneliness, and subjective well-being (Peng et al, 2021 ; Shan et al, 2021 ; Yang et al, 2022 ). Given the accessibility to the internet, the lack of self-control and immaturity of physical and psychological development of students, it is imperative that researchers pay special attention to the issue as related to student population (Dong et al, 2020 ; Hwang et al, 2020 ).…”

Associations Between Problematic Internet Use and Mental Health Outcomes of Students: A Meta-analytic Review

et al. 2023

The increasing prevalence of problematic internet use has heightened concerns about its adverse impact on internet users’ mental health. Despite reviews investigating the associations between problematic internet use and mental health outcomes, there is a lack of understanding of various aspects of students’ mental health. This study aimed to bridge this gap by providing a more comprehensive overall picture of this issue through a quantitative synthesis based on three-level random-effects meta-analytic models. In total, 223 studies with a cumulative total of 498,167 participants and 512 effect sizes were included in this synthesis. The results showed that problematic internet use was moderately and positively associated with depressive symptoms, anxiety, loneliness, and other mental health outcomes, and negatively related to subjective well-being. Moderator analyses revealed that several study features (i.e., school grade, region, measure of problematic internet use, publication year, and gender) could explain the variations in the findings across individual studies. These research results provide solid evidence for the link between problematic internet use and different mental health outcomes and have implications for future research and interventions on students’ problematic internet use.

“…Until then, a more important issue has been whether negative psycho-behavior-social problems are triggered by digital addiction, digital stress, or both in the framework of the AAMT and digital P-B-S model. For example, some researchers have recently argued that digital addiction could lead to suicide (Arrivillaga et al, 2020;Peng et al, 2021). One question is whether addictive digital media use behavior leads to suicide, or whether it is only the seemingly common factor of digital stress that leads to suicide because digital stress is correlated with digital addiction.…”

The new phenomenon (co-occurrence between digital stress and digital addiction) has become increasingly prominent. However, few theories can provide adequate explanations. This study developed a new theory, approach-avoidance media theory (AAMT), and designed three empirical studies to demonstrate it. This study proposes AAMT through analogical abduction to analogize approach-avoidance conflict theory in animal models and humans. The AAMT proposes 5 principles: (1) digital media use can lead to three phenomena: addictive use, avoidant use, and approach-avoidance conflict use; (2) people experience psychological tension when facing approach-avoidance conflict use; (3) they might choose different strategies to cope; (4) addictive and avoidant use can be mutually reinforcing; (5) addictive and avoidant use can only occur with the same type of digital media. Empirical studies confirmed that (1) for smartphone use, there were adolescents with only highly addictive smartphone use, adolescents with only highly avoidant use, and adolescents with approach-avoidance use; (2) in the present and future, high approach-avoidance use predicted low mental health and adolescents with high approach-avoidance use showed more maladaptive coping strategies; (3) smartphone addiction and stress predicted each other in the cross-lagged model. Besides, a psycho-behavioral-social model was proposed based on AAMT, implications and future directions are discussed.
