Children's screen time and psychosocial symptoms at 5 years of age - the role of parental factors.

Background And Objectives: Electronic media (e-media) has become a universal part of young children's daily lives. Previous studies have found an association between increased screen time and children's psychosocial symptoms. We investigated whether parents' psychological distress and parenting style dimensions explain the association between children's screen time and psychosocial symptoms.

High-dose electronic media use in five-year-olds and its association with their psychosocial symptoms: a cohort study.

Objectives: This study investigated the frequency of electronic media (e-media) usage by preschool children and the risks of high-dose e-media use on young children's psychosocial well-being.

Design: Longitudinal associations between e-media use at 18 months and psychosocial symptoms at 5 years of age were studied, as well as cross-sectional associations between e-media use and psychosocial symptoms at 5 years.

Setting: Between 2011 and 2017 in Finland.
