Abstract:
Over the last decade, a substantial number of studies have addressed children\'s use of technologies and their impact on well-being. Nonetheless, there is still a lack of clarity on the operationalisation of technology use, well-being, and the relation between the two. This scoping review intended to shed lights on Digital Technologies Use, its operationalisation, and the relation between Digital Technologies Negative Use (DTNU) and children\'s well-being. For the scope of the special issue we focused on negative use. Results showed two conceptualisations of DTNU: compulsive/addictive use of devices and the Internet (e.g., Internet addiction) and negative online experiences/risky behaviours (e.g., cyberbullying). Well-being in relation to DTNU was mainly studied in terms of psycho/social dimensions (e.g., depression), and a gap in cognitive well-being studies was identified. Study designs were largely quantitative, and, in most studies, well-being was considered as a predictor of DTNU. Also, research with children under 12 years was lacking. Future research on DTNU should look at: how dimensions of addiction and negative online experiences relate; provide more evidence on cognitive well-being; explore the interplay of well-being multiple components relying on integrative conceptual frameworks. The recent notion of digital well-being should also be explored considering the results of this review.
摘要:
在过去的十年里,大量的研究已经解决了儿童对技术的使用及其对福祉的影响。尽管如此,技术使用的可操作性仍然缺乏明确性,幸福,以及两者之间的关系。这项范围审查旨在阐明数字技术的使用,其可操作性,数字技术负面使用(DTNU)与儿童福祉的关系。对于特刊的范围,我们专注于负面使用。结果显示了DTNU的两个概念化:强迫性/成瘾性使用设备和互联网(例如,网络成瘾)和负面的在线体验/危险行为(例如,网络欺凌)。与DTNU相关的幸福感主要从心理/社会维度进行研究(例如,抑郁症),并确定了认知健康研究的差距。研究设计在很大程度上是定量的,and,在大多数研究中,幸福感被认为是DTNU的预测因子。此外,缺乏对12岁以下儿童的研究。对DTNU的未来研究应该关注:成瘾和负面在线体验的维度如何相关;提供更多关于认知幸福感的证据;探索依赖于综合概念框架的福祉多个组成部分的相互作用。考虑到本次审查的结果,还应探讨最近的数字福祉概念。
