Abstract Purpose This study investigated the prevalence of Internet addiction (IA) and cyberbullying and examined profiles of adolescents with increased risk to develop pathological behaviors. Methods In this cross-sectional, school-based study, 8053 students of 30 middle and 21 high schools (12–18 years old) were invited to participate, based on a multistage stratified random sampling technique. The Internet aiddiction test (IAT) was used along with information on socio-demographics, Internet activities and cyberbullying experience. Results Five thousand five hundred and ninety students participated (response rate 69.4%). Pathological Internet use (IAT ≥50) was found in 526 (10.1%), while 403 (7.3%) experienced cyberbullying as victims and 367 (6.6%) as perpetrators during the last year. In multivariable models, the odds of IA increased with online hours on mobile phones and Internet use during weekends, Internet café visits, chatrooms usage and engagement in cyberbullying. Cyberbullying victims were more likely to be older, female, Facebook and chatrooms users, while perpetrators were more likely to be male, older Internet users and fans of pornographic sites. A perpetrator was significantly more likely to have also been a victim [odds ratio (OR) = 5.51, confidence interval (CI): 3.92–7.74]. Hours of daily Internet use on a mobile phone was independently associated with IA and cyberbullying (OR) 1.41, 95% CI 1.30, 1.53 and OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.01, 1.21, respectively. Conclusions Cyberbullying is associated with IA and the hours spent online on a mobile phone affected both conditions. The increasing Internet access through mobile phones or other devices should be accompanied by the appropriate education of both parents and adolescents on safe Internet use.

The Impact

With the increasing rise of smartphones among adolescents, the question arose about the impact of the use of mobile phones among this audience, seeking to assess the harms caused by their excessive use. The present work was elaborated through bibliographical research in articles, books and websites, in a non-systematic way through qualitative and quantitative research, analyzing printed questionnaire. Regarding the results related to the problems caused by the use of smartphones, such as lack of attention, indisposition, poor school performance, little interaction in the classes kept an average of 22.5% difference for those who felt affected, about the posture we have a relatively few. high, however, is still less than half of respondents, but only 33.75% of people who do not worry about posture when using the phone showing, therefore, that young people, focus of our research, has a good ergonomic behavior , both when using the smartphone and watching classes, picking up objects on the floor, and sitting in the chair.

The use of mobile devices facilitates access to knowledge and is at the base of the education of the future. Although the digital society has contributed a number of benefits, however, it has also been associated with worrying behaviours. The study design consisted of a quantitative approach that was descriptive, inferential and ex post-facto in nature. Its purpose was to better understand the opinion of young people regarding mobile phone use and describe dependence deriving from regular use. The sample was formed of 420 students from the Faculty of Education at the University of Granada. Results indicate that mobile phone use has displaced use of other technologies such as the television, and is associated with communication and recreational activities. In addition, a profile was identified for young people at greater risk of developing a dependence on their mobile devices. This profile constituted females, mobile phone users with recreational motives and individuals who exceeded mobile phone use by more than six hours a day. To improve the educational use of mobile phone, prevention and intervention plans must be designed which ensure correct management of this device, taking advantage of the benefits it offers whilst avoiding problems derived from inappropriate use.

Literacy Research

Mobile phones are relatively inexpensive computing devices commonly found in many low and high income households in the United States as well as communities in developing nations. Researchers have begun to explore the use of mobile phones as a means to improve literacy learning, particularly in underserved communities. This article synthesizes current research examining the ways in which mobile phone use influences children's literacy learning in home- and school-based environments. In particular, the article examines how children's levels of literacy proficiency and familiarity with mobile phones impacts their interactions with the technology. The article concludes by offering suggestions for future literacy research.
