“…This indicates that there were more problems such as confrontation and disobedience, within the parent-child relationship. One study that included Chinese families found that parent-child relationship helped to mediate adolescent problematic mobile phone use and parental phubbing [ 28 ]. The healthy function of a family, needing balanced cohesion and flexibility, required both parents and children to maintain low levels of digital device usage.…”

Objective To explore the influences of digital media use on the core symptoms, emotional state, life events, learning motivation, executive function (EF) and family environment of children and adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Method A total of 192 participants aged 8–16 years who met the diagnostic criteria for ADHD were included in the study. Children scoring higher than predetermined cut-off point in self-rating questionnaires for problematic mobile phone use (SQPMPU) or Young’s internet addiction test (IAT), were defined as ADHD with problematic digital media use (PDMU), otherwise were defined as ADHD without PDMU. The differences between the two groups in ADHD symptoms, EF, anxiety and depression, stress from life events, learning motivation and family environment were compared respectively. Results When compared with ADHD group without PDMU, the group with PDMU showed significant worse symptoms of inattention, oppositional defiant, behavior and emotional problems by Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale (SNAP), more self-reported anxiety by screening child anxiety-related emotional disorders (SCARED) and depression by depression self-rating scale for children (DSRSC), more severe EF deficits by behavior rating scale of executive function (BRIEF), more stress from life events by adolescent self-rating life events checklist (ASLEC), lower learning motivation by students learning motivation scale (SLMS), and more impairment on cohesion by Chinese version of family environment scale (FES-CV). The ADHD with PDMU group spent significantly more time on both video game and social media with significantly less time spend on physical exercise as compared to the ADHD without PDMU group. Conclusion The ADHD children with PDMU suffered from more severe core symptoms, negative emotions, EF deficits, damage on family environment, pressure from life events, and a lower motivation to learn. Supervision of digital media usage, especially video game and social media, along with increased physical exercise, is essential to the management of core symptoms and associated problems encountered with ADHD.

“…Moreover, excessive mobile phone use involving phubbing behaviours could foster parent-adolescent conflicts (Hong et al, 2019). Phubbing, referring to the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by concentrating on one’s mobile phone instead of having a conversation, has become a common phenomenon in family life (Niu et al, 2020). Prior studies have documented that phubbing negatively affects communication quality and relationship satisfaction, which increases the likelihood of conflicts (Chotpitayasunondh & Douglas, 2018; Krasnova et al, 2016).…”

“…Despite the evidence of parent-adolescent conflicts over mobile phone use (Devitt & Roke, 2009; Porter, 2018), few studies have empirically examined the influence of adolescents’ mobile phone use on these conflicts. In particular, plenty of studies shed light on the role of mobile phones in family interaction, but they mostly underlined how parents’ mobile phone use affected their children’s behaviours (Hiniker et al, 2015; Hong et al, 2019; Niu et al, 2020). Furthermore, the majority of prior studies examined the effect of mobile phone use on general family relationship, whereas the specific issue such as parent-child conflict over mobile phone use remains largely unexamined (Blackman, 2015; Kildare & Middlemiss, 2017; Kushlev, 2015).…”

This study seeks to understand the role of parenting styles in reconciling parent-adolescent conflict about adolescents’ mobile phone use, through an examination of the effects of adolescents’ mobile phone use intensity, parenting styles, and their interaction effects on the conflicts. Multi-stage cluster sampling was used to collect a representative sample of 751 middle school students in an eastern province of China. The results indicated a positive relationship between the intensity of adolescents’ mobile phone use and parent-adolescent conflict about mobile phone use. Parental demandingness was related to more conflict, whereas parental responsiveness was related to less conflict. Moreover, moderation analyses revealed that the relationship between the intensity of adolescents’ mobile phone use and parent-adolescent conflict varied based upon the degree of parental demandingness and parental responsiveness. Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature on associations between parenting style and parent-adolescent conflict. Findings from this study provide parents with knowledge to reduce conflict with their children regarding mobile phone use.

“…The role of parents who are increasingly democratic, as an example in applying discipline from an early age, will be internalized by the child to control himself in their behavior (Ghufron & Suminta, 2010;Mulyati & Frieda, 2019). Self-control enables individuals to be able to cope with bad experiences and manage their emotions, cognition, and behavior effectively so that self-control functions as a buffer for the adverse effects of risk factors (for example, family crises and divorce), both from internal and external problems (Niu et al, 2020).…”

Phubbing is a behavior of ignoring the interlocutor and focusing more on smartphones. This behavior, which is quite common recently, has a negative impact on social interactions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of smartphone addiction and self-control on phubbing behavior. This study employed a correlational research design. Three hundred and seventy-nine samples involved in this study were recruited using random sampling techniques. The data were collected using the Smartphone Addiction Scale, Phubbing Scale, and Self-Control Scale. The data were analyzed using regression analysis assisted by JASP software version 0.11.10. The findings show that smartphone addiction is a predictor of phubbing behavior by 47 percent, while other factors influence the rest. Selfcontrol was not proven to be a significant predictor of phubbing behavior in the researched participants. An in-depth study of the factors that influence phubbing behavior is encouraged to be investigated for further research.
