“…On the other hand, students who have low scores of poor self-regulation also have a low level of internet addiction. This result is consistent with the previous study Li et al (2021). found that students with less self-regulation had greater internet addiction.…”

The self-regulation of internet activities is a challenge between technology and human interaction, particularly in adolescents. It is very important to study the relationship between self-regulation and internet addiction since humans have become closely connected to technology in recent decades. The objective of the present research was to study the relationship between internet addiction and self-regulation by assessing the habits of university students. The samples consisted of 500 first-year students residing in Chiang Mai University dormitories, and data were collected from questionnaires regarding personal information, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and self-regulation assessment. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between internet addiction and self-regulation. The results of the study revealed that the level of internet addiction had a moderately positive relation with poor self-regulation, which had a correlation coefficient of 0.560 with a statistical significance level of 0.01. Further, the level of internet addiction had a low negative relation with good self-regulation, which had a correlation coefficient equal to -0.262 with a statistical significance level of 0.01. Hence, creating the necessary assistance and solutions is required to achieve a healthy balance in the behavior of young individuals.

“…There are indications from previous research that this could happen as a result of the students' SM addiction, which disrupts their time management skills (see Li et al, 2021) and lowers their academic achievement (Azizi, 2019) among other consequences. However, this study does not have any evidence to support that the lower academic performance of some of the students as well as the relatively longer time spent on SM is related to SM addiction or time management issues.…”

Background Studies have shown that social media (SM) can influence academic performance both positively and negatively depending on the students’ social media use (SMU) behaviors. Though many studies have examined time spent on SM and academic performance, the findings are inconclusive. Besides, only few studies have directly assessed the role of purpose of SMU. This study examines the influence of purpose of SMU, time spent on SM and their interaction on students’ academic performance. Method The sample comprised 110 Grade 11 students from a private high school in Addis Ababa. We collected data on students’ academic performance from official school records and the students’ demographics and SMU behaviors through a survey questionnaire developed for the purpose. We employed two-way ANOVA and chi-square test for data analyses. Findings Slightly more than 67% of the students used SM for noneducation purposes and on average these students spent more time on SM than those who used SM for education purposes. The students who used SM for education purposes scored significantly higher in all three subjects (English, mathematics and chemistry) than those who used SM for noneducation purposes. Students who spent shorter time on SM daily scored significantly better in all three subjects than those who spent longer. The purpose-by-time interaction effect is, however, not statistically significant. Conclusion Mainly the study showed that spending more time on SM particularly for noneducation purposes is harmful to students’ academic performance.

“…Some studies have revealed that self-control-related factors (e.g., impulse control, self-regulation) are negatively related to gaming use [ 19 , 40 ]. Other studies have also demonstrated that self-control accounted for an indirect role between culture [ 41 ] or parental behavior and adolescents’ Internet addiction [ 33 ].…”

Parents’ negative affect could lead to the deterioration of the mental state of their adolescent children. According to previous studies, children of parents who have symptoms of depression or anxiety are more likely to have mental problems. As one of the most important issues concerning adolescents with the rapid rise of screen time, the concern for pathological gaming among adolescents continues to intensify. Many studies have demonstrated the remarkable relationships between adolescents’ pathological gaming and mental factors, but seldom examined them via longitudinal analysis. With three-year data from adolescents (N = 778) and their parents (N = 685) in South Korea, this study assessed the effects of parents’ negative affect (depression and anxiety) on pathological gaming using adolescents’ mental factors (i.e., aggression, ADHD, self-control). The results showed the critical role of parents’ negative affect on their children’s mental health, which finally leads to pathological gaming among adolescents. Depressive parents increased the degree of adolescents’ aggression and ADHD, and decreased the degree of adolescents’ self-control. Anxious parents increased the degree of adolescents’ ADHD. Moreover, both adolescents’ aggression and self-control mediated the relationship between parents’ depression and adolescents’ pathological gaming. Specifically, self-control was one of the most influential factors contributing to pathological gaming among adolescents.
