本研究的目的是探讨青少年屏幕时间（例如电视、电脑、智能手机、视频游戏和平板电脑）通过睡眠持续时间和干扰对行为健康问题（即内化、外化和同伴问题）的间接影响。我们评估了社区样本，其中孩子处于三个发育阶段之一：幼儿期（3 – 7 岁；N = 209）、童年中期（8 – 12 岁；N = 202）和青春期（13 – 17 岁；N = 210）。采用路径分析来检验假设的间接效应模型。研究结果表明，无论青少年处于哪个发育阶段，青少年看电视的时间越长，睡眠障碍就越多，而睡眠障碍反过来又与青少年行为健康问题的严重程度相关。屏幕时间增加的儿童更有可能出现睡眠质量差和行为问题。
The purpose of the current study was to examine the indirect effect of youth screen time (e.g., television, computers, smartphones, video games, and tablets) on behavioral health problems (i.e., internalizing, externalizing, and peer problems) through sleep duration and disturbances. We assessed a community sample of parents with a child in one of three developmental stages: young childhood (3 – 7 yrs.; N = 209), middle childhood (8 – 12 yrs.; N = 202), and adolescence (13 – 17 yrs.; N = 210). Path analysis was employed to test the hypothesized indirect effect model. Findings indicated that, regardless of the developmental stage of the youth, higher levels of youth screen time were associated with more sleep disturbances, which, in turn, were linked to higher levels of youth behavioral health problems. Children who have increased screen time are more likely to have poor sleep quality and problem behaviors.
