Abstract

Screen media technologies (SMTs) has become an essential part of human life and almost everybody, irrespective of their age group, uses one or the other screen media technologies. Increased dependency on SMTs is raising concerns over their ill effect on the psychological health of its users. The present work aims to study the impact of social media usage and laptop/computer on psychological and physical health. This is a cross-sectional study of the middle management employees of a major Indian telecom organization. The analyses were carried out using structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. Results suggested that neck pain is directly related to cognitive stress, somatic stress, and laptop/computer usage. Cognitive stress was indirectly related to Instagram and WhatsApp use. Behavioural stress had no direct or indirect relationship with social media or laptop/computer use. Using a laptop/computer is found to be the most critical factor contributing to neck pain in Indian middle-aged adults working in an office environment.

期刊介绍： The mission of the International Journal of Cyber Behavior, Psychology and Learning (IJCBPL) is to identify learners’ online behavior based on the theories in human psychology, define online education phenomena as explained by the social and cognitive learning theories and principles, and interpret the complexity of cyber learning. IJCBPL offers a multi-disciplinary approach that incorporates the findings from brain research, biology, psychology, human cognition, developmental theory, sociology, motivation theory, and social behavior. This journal welcomes both quantitative and qualitative studies using experimental design, as well as ethnographic methods to understand the dynamics of cyber learning. Impacting multiple areas of research and practices, including secondary and higher education, professional training, Web-based design and development, media learning, adolescent education, school and community, and social communication, IJCBPL targets school teachers, counselors, researchers, and online designers.
