“…For example, one study suggested that Chinese students spend much more time online on independent academic activities than their counterparts from the USA (Shostya, 2015 ). Other studies have observed differences between Chinese and American/British students in how the Internet was used in school and at home (Li and Kirkup, 2007 ; Lei et al, 2009 ). Furthermore, also differences in the levels of empathy in China and Europe (Melchers et al, 2015 ) have been found (the levels of empathy in Europe were higher, but this needs to be further investigated in future studies) as well as cross-cultural influence on life satisfaction (Schimmack et al, 2002 ; Lachmann et al, 2018 ).…”

Recent studies have yielded initial evidence for an association between Internet Use Disorder (IUD), empathy, and life satisfaction. In the present study we sought to replicate these previous findings, and then to extend this research by also examining the relationship between empathy, life satisfaction, and the related phenomenon of Smartphone Use Disorder (SUD). The present study included independent samples from China (N = 612, 162 females) and Germany (N = 304, 207 females), with the same set of questionnaires administered to both samples. IUD was measured with Pawlikowski's s-IAT and SUD was assessed with the short version of Kwon's Smartphone Addiction Scale. The Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) was used to assess individual differences in empathy. Please note that for the German sample data on the empathy quotient (EQ) are also available. Life satisfaction data were collected using items from the SOEP-Questionnaire (Socio-Economic Panel, Germany). In both of our samples we replicated previous findings showing the association between higher IUD, lower empathy, and lower life satisfaction scores. In addition, individuals with higher SUD showed higher scores on the IRI Personal Distress scale in China and Germany, while further associations between IRI dimensions and SUD were only found in the Chinese sample. Personal Distress is known to be highly correlated with the personality trait of Neuroticism, hence higher stress/negative emotionality in tense social situations is related to SUD. In the present study we confirm earlier findings showing the relationship between empathy, life satisfaction, and IUD, and extend some of these findings to SUD. We also emphasize the importance of cross-cultural studies when investigating IUD/SUD in the context of empathy and life satisfaction.

“…The selected studies were undertaken in a range of countries ( Figure 3). Some studies were conducted in more than one context (e.g., Lei et al, 2009; others were conducted in the same context but addressed different educational values (Johnson, 2009(Johnson, , 2010(Johnson, , 2011(Johnson, , 2013. While, China, USA and Turkey were the most researched individual countries, there were no studies that met the inclusion criteria from Africa.…”

This article presents a systematic review of literature that explores the educational value of the Internet in the home for school aged children. Research published between 2008 and 2018 was examined and 67 items were analyzed. A range of positive, negative and neutral correlations or outcomes of home Internet use were identified across the three functions of education; academic achievement and skills, developing the individual and socialization. Overall, there were significantly more positive correlations or outcomes reported. We conclude that there is educational value in home Internet use and the value is influenced by the nature of online activities.
