Although the time adolescents spend with digital technologies has sparked widespread concerns that their use might be negatively associated with mental well-being, these potential deleterious influences have not been rigorously studied. Using a preregistered plan for analyzing data collected from a representative sample of English adolescents (n = 120,115), we obtained evidence that the links between digital-screen time and mental well-being are described by quadratic functions. Further, our…

Annual Research Review: Adolescent mental health in the digital age: facts, fears, and future directions.

Type of screen time moderates effects on outcomes in 4013 children: evidence from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children
TLDR
There were linear associations between total screen time and all outcomes, such that more screen time was associated with worse outcomes, however, there was variability when examined by screen time type, and the small effects of screen time on children’s outcomes appear to be moderated by the type of screenTime.
The impact of digital technology use on adolescent well-being

TLDR
Findings imply that the general effects are on the negative end of the spectrum but very small, and it appears that both low and excessive use are related to decreased well-being, whereas moderate use is related to increasedWell-being.

Virtually impossible: limiting Australian children and adolescents daily screen based media use
TLDR
Current paediatric recommendations pertaining to SBMU may no longer be tenable because screen based media are central in the everyday lives of children and adolescents and researchers, educators and health professionals need to take cognizance of the extent to which S BMU differs across specific screen activity, sex, and age.
The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS): development and UK validation
TLDR
WEMWBS is a measure of mental well-being focusing entirely on positive aspects of mental health that offers promise as a short and psychometrically robust scale that discriminated between population groups in a way that is largely consistent with the results of other population surveys.
Television- and screen-based activity and mental well-being in adults.
Electronic Gaming and Psychosocial Adjustment

Prospective Investigation of Video Game Use in Children and Subsequent Conduct Disorder and Depression Using Data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children
TLDR
Overall game exposure as indicated by number of games in a household was not related to conduct disorder, nor was any association found between shoot-em-up video game use and depression, and the possibility that increasing levels of competition in games may be just as likely to account for the observed associations as violent content is not ruled out.
Do television and electronic games predict children's psychosocial adjustment? Longitudinal research using the UK Millennium Cohort Study
TLDR
TV but not electronic games predicted a small increase in conduct problems and screen time did not predict other aspects of psychosocial adjustment, but no associations were found between either type of screen time and emotional symptoms, hyperactivity/inattention, peer relationship problems or prosocial behaviour.
