Impact of Screen Use in Childhood and Adolescence
Nowadays, addictions remain a social concern for the general population, but especially for younger groups such as children and adolescents. Adolescence is already known to be a period characterized by both risks and opportunities for learning and personal development. Currently, the use of technology among children and adolescents is not only a matter of social concern but also a topic of ongoing debate. Technology is here to stay, and it is necessary to analyze how it is being used, its impact on the lives of children and adolescents, and the risks associated with its use.
It is essential that society as a whole (and psychology professionals in particular) become aware of this issue and establish shared criteria for attention, detection, and prevention based on scientific evidence.
With this symposium, our research group aims to shed light on the impact that screen use is having on children and adolescents.
