“…Studies have examined the intermediation of emotional and cognitive factors between mobile phone addiction and depression ( Li et al, 2017 ; Yang X. et al, 2019 ), but less attention to the indirect effects that mobile phone addiction may trigger related online behaviors such as cyberbullying. Previous studies have focused on mobile phone use and cyberbullying among college students ( Bailin et al, 2014 ), and with the development of information society and economy, mobile phones have become more common among high school students, facilitating their lives while increasing their risk of cyberbullying ( Mendez et al, 2020 ; Smale et al, 2021 ; Yadav and Chakraborty, 2021 ).…”

“…Smart devices are considered among the dynamic and interactive means that reinforce the children's linguistic, mathematical and scientific skills, among others (Papadakis et al, 2021;Sung et al, 2016). Yadav & Chakraborty (2021) ascertained that children interact with smart devices according to their mental capabilities in an effective and constructive way.

“…Also, directing children to use applications of smart devices that suit their nature contributes considerably to developing the child's character to be socially interactive, and think in an innovative and imaginary manner. For instance, directing children to use video-chatting apps contributes to developing social interactive skills with others, while directing them to use drawing apps and storytelling helps children in practicing innovative, analytical and imaginative thinking and mastering learning new linguistic terms and words, in addition to understanding scientific and mathematical concepts (Wiley et al, 2016;Yadav & Chakraborty, 2021). Furthermore, cause-effect apps reinforce class participation and increase learning independence (Wiley et al, 2016).…”

“…Reckless use of the Internet can also expose children to inappropriate materials and cyberbullying through the Internet. Therefore, content filtering software should be embedded in smartphones used by children (Yadav & Chakraborty, 2021). Based on this, Yadav & Chakraborty (2021) recommended the necessity of conducting an objective assessment of the ability of children to use smartphones, as well as designing the applications according to the children's abilities and interests in the different age groups, along with the effective use of apps in raising children accompanied by school and parental supervision of the children's use of digital technologies.…”
