PROJECT SUMMARY Prior research has found associations between early childhood emotion regulation, executive functioning, and excessive or low-quality media use. However, these studies have been limited in that they only examine television and videos – not increasingly prevalent mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets – and that they assume a unidirectional relationship between media use and child development. Informed by the transactional nature of child development (i.e., Sameroff, 1975), this study aims to examine bidirectional, longitudinal associations between emotion regulation, executive functioning, and several aspects of child media use relevant to how children use modern mobile and interactive technologies. Particularly because mobile devices can be taken anywhere throughout a child's day and provide more short bursts of gamified play experiences, they may have a qualitatively different effect on child outcomes and need to be examined through updated methods such as mobile device-based passive sensing. This proposal's Specific Aims are to: Aim 1) Examine cross-lagged associations between emotion regulation (high emotional reactivity and intensity) and media use duration and use for calming purposes; Aim 2) Examine cross-lagged associations between executive function deficits (low inhibitory control, low emergent metacognition) and media use duration, rapid switching between apps, and lower-quality media content; and Aim 3) Examine mediators of the associations between media use and emotion regulation or executive function; specifically fewer parent-child activities and less non-digital play, respectively. The study will recruit 400 parents of children aged 3-4.99 to complete three waves of online surveys, including standardized measures of child emotion regulation (Child Behavior Checklist and the Rothbart Child Behavior Questionnaire – Very Short Form), executive functioning (BRIEF – Preschool Scale), and time diaries of media use and child activities at each data collection wave. In addition, child mobile device use will be measured through the innovative approach of mobile device-based passive sensing, which, through an application installed on family smartphones and tablets, will quantify the daily duration, frequency of app switching, and content of child app usage for 1 week at each data collection wave. Structural equation modeling will be used to examine concurrent and cross-lagged associations between child emotion regulation, executive functioning, and media use over the 6 months of data collection. This study will fill critical gaps in knowledge about early childhood media use and developmental and behavioral outcomes that can be translated into clinical practice guidelines, interventions for children with excessive media use, and improved digital design for children.

项目摘要 先前的研究发现，幼儿情绪调节，执行功能和 过度或低质量的媒体使用。但是，这些研究受到限制，因为它们仅检查 电视和视频 - 越来越普遍的移动设备，例如智能手机和平板电脑 - 他们假设媒体使用与儿童发展之间存在单向关系。被告知 儿童发育的交易性质（即Sameroff，1975年），本研究旨在检查双向， 情绪调节，执行功能与儿童的几个方面之间的纵向关联 媒体使用与儿童使用现代移动和互动技术有关的使用。特别是因为 移动设备可以在整个孩子的一天的任何地方采用，并提供更多的游戏化游戏 经验，它们可能对儿童的结果有质量不同的影响，需要通过 更新的方法，例如基于移动设备的无源灵敏度。该提议的具体目的是：目标1） 检查情绪调节（高情绪反应性和强度）和 媒体使用持续时间和用于平静的目的；目的2）检查跨滞后关联 执行功能定义（低抑制性控制，低新兴元认知）和媒体使用持续时间，快速 在应用程序和较低质量的媒体内容之间切换；目标3）检查协会的调解人 在媒体使用与情绪调节或执行功能之间；特别是少于父母的活动， 分别较少的非数字游戏。该研究将招募400名3-4.99岁儿童父母完成三个 在线调查的浪潮，包括儿童情绪监管的标准化措施（儿童行为 清单和Rothbart儿童行为问卷调查表 - 非常简短），执行功能（简短 - 学龄前）以及每个数据收集浪潮中媒体使用和儿童活动的时间日记。此外， 儿童移动设备的使用将通过基于移动设备的被动的创新方法来衡量 通过在家庭智能手机和平板电脑上安装的应用程序的应用程序，Sensing将每天量化 在每个数据收集浪潮中，持续时间，应用开关的频率和儿童应用程序使用1周。 结构方程建模将用于检查儿童之间的并发和交叉滞后关联 在6个月的数据收集中，情绪调节，执行功能和媒体使用。这项研究会 填补有关幼儿媒体使用以及发展和行为结果的关键空白 可以将其转化为临床实践指南，媒体过量使用的儿童干预措施以及 改进的儿童数字设计。
