mobile device use, 1 to 8 children, impulse control, behavioral addiction, consequencesAbstract
The use of mobile devices has been increasing in recent years. Some studies focus in mobile device use in adolescents and adults on its repercussions, especially in terms of behavioral addiction, psychological and cognitive discomfort; however, there are few tools for studying this behavior among the population under 6 years of age, mainly in Mexico. The aim of this study is to design and validate the use of mobile devices questionnaire in children between 1 and 8 years of age. 240 parents from various Mexican cities participated, answered about situations and consequences for the use of devices, as well as impulse control and risk perception. The validity analysis inter-judges show an IVC higher than 0.80, and the reliability index was 0.931. The implications of this tool for the evaluation of use of mobile devices behavior in this population and future studies on the effects in the short and medium term.
