Social networks are a new form of addiction to technology and are beginning to take place in the moroccan society in the last decades, especially among children and adolescents. Furthermore the Nomophobia is a new form of addiction to new generations of mobile phones. Because of the importance of their speed spread and their influence on the person's future and interpersonal relationships, we conducted a study to calculate the degree of Nomophobia in adolescent population. It is through the establishment of a questionnaire for a sample of 541 adolescents including 298 girls and 243 boys of young Moroccans and a test on Nomophobia NMP-Q. The statistical result stated that 69.1% of girls and 63% of boys have Nomophobia in a moderate and severe state, and that the Smartphone is more solicited than the laptop with a negative correlation between school performance and the score of Nomophobia. Thus, poor school performance and mental disorders in adolescents can be explained by taking Nomophobia.

Currently, mobile phones are widely used worldwide. Thus, phubbing rapidly became a common phenomenon in our social life. Phubbing is considered by the literature as a new form of technology-related addiction that may undermine interpersonal relationships and mental health. Our study contributed to exploring phubbers’ emotional activation as no other work has investigated it so far. Indeed, researchers have only explored phubbees’ but not phubbers’ emotional correlates. A sample of 419 Italian individuals (143 males) participated in our data collection on a voluntary basis. The results showed that phubbing is related to negative affects, but not to positive affects. Moreover, phubbing in both its components (i.e., communication disturbance, phone obsession) appeared to elicit an emotional activation similar to that of social media addiction. These findings may help in strengthening the discussion around the emotional consequences of virtual environment design, as well as the awareness about what happens at a relational level during phubbing.

Introduction: School bullying is characterized by over time repetitiveness of aggression, by the intentional injuring or causing suffering to another, and by the imbalance of power between the participants. This is not a new phenomenon, because the recurring situation of violence between peers at school has probably been a regular feature throughout human history. Involvement in school bullying can have negative consequences, including for the students´ teaching-learning process, in which those involved may have troubles such as failing, dropping out, as well as episodes of indiscipline. Objective: Identify the school performance of children and adolescents in a socially vulnerable situation, as well as to analyse the possible relationships of this performance with participation in the situations of violence that characterize school bullying. Method: 375 primary school children and adolescents of both genders aged between 8 and 16 years participated in the study. The instruments used were School Performance Test, Sociometric Scale and, Questionnaire for the Study of Violence Among Peers. The data were analysed using ANOVA Two-way test and Spearman correlation. Results: The present study indicates that children and adolescents in a socially vulnerable situation had results that were below expectations with respect to school development and performance in the three subtests – writing, arithmetic, and reading – in both genders and in different age groups. In an intra and extra analysis group, there was a significant difference between female children and adolescents in all subtests. However, the same was not observed among boys. There was also a relationship between poor school performance and participation in bullying situations, in which it was found that the score on the writing subtest was negatively correlated with practicing aggression and witnessing violence at school. A similar result occurred in relation to the reading subtest. The arithmetic subtest score, in turn, correlated negatively with the three forms of participation in situations of school violence: to assault, suffer abuse, and witnessing violence against colleagues. Finally, the total score obtained in SPT negatively and significantly correlated with practicing aggression and witnessing violence. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it was found that most children and adolescents in a socially vulnerable condition showed a lower school performance level than expected for their year attending. Allied to these results, it was found that teenage girls showed better performance than children of the same gender did. Moreover, there is a relationship between poor school performance and participation in bullying situations in different roles: victim, bully, and bystander.
