“I Do Not See Eye to Eye With My Parents”: Parent–Adolescent Discrepancies in Parental Phubbing Report and Adolescent Health‐Related Outcomes
Parental phubbing, the act of parents moving their attention to their smartphone instead of engaging with their children, has been associated with negative consequences for adolescents′ health. However, most studies rely on single informant reports, which do not account for both parents and adolescents′ perceptions of the behavior and can provide biased results. Based on the Operations Triad Model, this cross‐sectional study examines the associat…
The Bidirectional Longitudinal Relations Between Problematic Social Media Use and Loneliness Among Adolescents: The Indirect Effect of Active Use
Objective Problematic social media use (PSMU) and loneliness among adolescents are closely linked, yet research findings remain inconsistent due to cross‐sectional and adult‐centered studies. Moreover, limited studies have explored how specific social media activities contribute to both PSMU and loneliness. This study examined the bidirectional relationship between PSMU and loneliness, focusing on the indirect effect of active social media use (s…
Adolescent social media use profiles: A longitudinal study of friendship quality and socio-motivational factors
Early adolescence is a crucial period for social and emotional development, with relationships with close friends shaping individual and social well-being. Today, these interactions occur both offline and online, requiring nuanced theoretical models to capture their complexities. Using a three-wave longitudinal, person-centered approach, this study aims to: (1) identify distinct social media use profiles based on specific online activities, (2) e…

Associations between relative deprivation and problematic gaming in adolescence: Evidence from an Italian representative sample
BACKGROUND: Problematic gaming is a known risk factor for adolescent well-being. Yet, socioeconomic factors that might contribute to problematic gaming in adolescence have not been fully explored. This study examined the association between relative deprivation, defined as an individual's financial gap relative to their classmates, and problematic gaming in a representative sample of Italian adolescents. METHODS: We analysed data on family materi…
Unraveling the links between maternal and paternal parenting practices and adolescent problematic gaming: The mediating role of satisfaction and frustration of psychological needs
Adolescent problematic gaming (PG) is a concerning condition worldwide. Increasing evidence documented associations between parental behaviors (measured unitedly for mothers and fathers) and adolescent PG; however, the specific contribution of each parent and the mediating mechanisms remain understudied. Drawing from the self-determination theory, this study separately examined, in mothers and fathers, (a) the direct associations between supporti…

Global change in adolescent social media use (2018–2022): An ecological analysis across 28 countries
Given growing concerns about the role of social media in adolescents' lives, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, this study investigates changes in social media use (SMU) between 2018 and 2022 across 28 countries. The main aim is to detect any change in adolescents' SMU, as reflected in the rates of four categories of social media users (i.e., non-active users, active users, intense users, and problematic users) between 2018 and 2022, and exp…
Problem gaming and adolescents’ health and well-being: Evidence from a large nationally representative sample in Italy
Playing video games is a common leisure activity for adolescents, but a minority can develop maladaptive gaming patterns and experience impairments in various health domains. Most research has been conducted within the dichotomy of “non-problematic gaming” and “problematic gaming” with convenience and unrepresentative samples, necessitating further investigation to provide more robust and generalizable evidence. In this study, we examined the imp…
Perceived Influences of Mentoring on Mentors' Social Well‐Being: Social Self‐Efficacy and Civic Engagement as Mediators of Long‐Term Associations

International perspectives on social media use among adolescents: Implications for mental and social well-being and substance use
In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between intensity of social media use (SMU), problematic SMU and well-being outcomes. Four categories of SMU were developed taking into account both intensity of use and problematic SMU simultaneously: non-active; active; intense; and problematic use. Using these four categories, we assessed associations between SMU and mental and social well-being, and substance use. Data from 190,089 re…
The Effect of Problematic Social Media Use on Happiness among Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Lifestyle Habits
Background: Although the relationship between problematic social media use (PSMU) and happiness has been already explored, less is known about the mechanisms that translate PSMU into lower happiness through lifestyle habits. Therefore, the current study focuses on the association between PSMU and happiness, exploring a mediating effect of lifestyle habits (e.g., difficulties in getting to sleep and frequency of physical activity) among Italian ad…
Problematic Social Media Use and Cyber Aggression in Italian Adolescents: The Remarkable Role of Social Support
Although cyber aggression is less represented in Italy than in other European countries, it is likely to increase. PSMU appears to be an important contributor to the risk of cyber aggression; however, social support has been shown to be capable of reducing the risk of both phenomena. Public health policies fostering familiar and school support can help protect adolescents' mental health, reducing the risk of problematic media use and cyberbullyin…

Toward a New Payment System for Inpatient Rehabilitation: Part I: Predicting Resource Consumption
BACKGROUND: The measures of clinical status used to predict costs must pay the most attention possible to medical conditions and clinical complexity. Length of stay (LOS), which has been used as a proxy for resource consumption, is not a direct measure of costs. Classification and regression trees, which are used in defining iso-resource groups, can be affected by overfitting and are based on a priori choices of the splitting attributes. Finally,…
The impact of heat waves on mortality in 9 European cities: Results from the EuroHeat project
BACKGROUND: The present study aimed at developing a standardized heat wave definition to estimate and compare the impact on mortality by gender, age and death causes in Europe during summers 1990-2004 and 2003, separately, accounting for heat wave duration and intensity. METHODS: Heat waves were defined considering both maximum apparent temperature and minimum temperature and classified by intensity, duration and timing during summer. The effect …

Associations of Traditional and Peer Cyber-Victimization With Adolescents’ Internet Use: A Latent Profile Analysis
Significant overlap exists between traditional victimization and peer cyber-victimization. Yet, they can also be somewhat differentiated. Adopting person-centered approaches, studies showed that multiple classes of peer victimization are distinguishable. In particular, this study analyzed the differences in Internet use, Internet motives and behavior and ethical media use of adolescents who are victimized only (or mainly) online (i.e., “cyber-vic…
Can Mentoring Promote Self-esteem and School Connectedness? An Evaluation of the Mentor-UP Project
Research in the United States has shown that youth mentoring is a promising strategy for increasing self-esteem and school connectedness in at-risk youth. There has been little confirmation of those findings internationally. The current study evaluates the impact of mentoring by trained university students on children’s self-esteem and school connectedness compared to schoolmates not involved in the program. Mentor-UP is a school- and community-b…
Social anxiety and Internet gaming disorder: The role of motives and metacognitions
Disparities in emergency department use between Italians and migrants residing in Rome, Italy: The Rome Dynamic Longitudinal Study from 2005 to 2015
This study shows differences in the ED utilisation between migrants and Italians, and within the migrant population, during the Great Recession. The findings may reflect differentials in the health status, and barriers to access primary and secondary care among migrants. In this regard, health policies and cuts in health spending measures may have played a key role, and interventions to tackle health and access disparities should include policy m…
Potentially avoidable hospitalization for asthma in children and adolescents by migrant status: Results from the Italian Network for Longitudinal Metropolitan Studies
The asthma PAH meta-analytic rate was higher among female children and adolescent immigrants compared to Italians, with heterogeneity among cohorts showing higher cohort-specific PAH also among males, with some differences by origin country. Access to primary care for children and adolescent immigrants should be improved and immigrants should be considered at risk of severe asthma outcomes and consequently targeted by clinicians
