Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Bullying

The need for affiliation is a fundamental human motive that drives individuals to form and maintain interpersonal relationships. This universal drive varies in intensity among individuals due to genetic predispositions and life experiences, shaping it into a relatively stable personality trait. Social inclusion enhances emotional well-being by fulfilling the need for affiliation, whereas social exclusion leads to distress, negative emotions, and cognitive impairments.Psychological and Emotional...

Factors Influencing Attraction I: Proximity

Proximity plays a fundamental role in shaping interpersonal attraction by increasing opportunities for interaction and fostering familiarity. Research consistently demonstrates that individuals are more likely to form social bonds with those who are physically closer to them, whether in residential settings, workplaces, or educational institutions. This effect is largely driven by the increased frequency of encounters, which facilitates the development of friendships and romantic...

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Health
  • Educational Psychology
  • Digital Media Studies

Background:

  • Limited research exists on the link between adolescent problem technology use and school outcomes.
  • Understanding this association is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of problem technology use among Canadian secondary school students.
  • To examine the association between problem technology use and academic performance.
  • To investigate the relationship between problem technology use and school connectedness.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis of self-reported data from 4837 students in grades 9-12.
  • Ordered logistic regression models were used, adjusted for covariates.

Main Results:

  • 18.6% of students exhibited moderate-to-serious symptoms of problem technology use, higher in females (22.4%) than males (14.9%).
  • Problem technology use was significantly associated with lower academic performance in both males and females.
  • Lower school connectedness was also linked to problem technology use in both genders.

Conclusions:

  • Excessive and problematic technology use is prevalent in secondary students.
  • Problem technology use negatively impacts academic performance and school connectedness.
  • Findings underscore the need for strategies to mitigate adverse effects of technology on student well-being and achievement.
