Abstract
Introduction: The present study investigated the relationship between screen use and social-emotional problems in preschoolers aged 46 to 72 months from migrant families.
Methods: The parents of 427 children completed the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional II (ASQ: SE II) and the survey on screen use at two time points (T1 and T2) with one-year interval.
Results: There were no significant changes in preschoolers' social-emotional problems and screen use over one year. Preschoolers who exceeded 1 hr per day on screens at T1 increased the risk for social-emotional problems at T2. Those who had parental involvement at T1 reduced the risk for social-emotional problems at T2. Those who viewed educational content at T1 reduced the risk for social-emotional problems between T1 and T2.
Discussion: These findings highlight the protective and risk factors of screen use independently predicted children's social-emotional problems from highly educated migrant families.
