Abstract

Executive functions play an important role in various developmental aspects of children; however, environmental factors influencing individual differences in children's executive function and their neural substructures, particularly in middle childhood, are rarely investigated. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the relationship between the home executive function environment (HEFE) and screen time with the executive function of children aged 8-12 years by employing the mediating variables of alpha, beta, and theta waves. The parents of 133 normal children completed Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning, HEFE, and Screen Time Scales. Alpha, beta, and theta brain waves were also measured. Data were examined using correlational and path analysis. The results suggested a positive and significant relationship between home executive functions and the executive functions of children. Furthermore, the results indicated an inverse and significant relationship between screen time and executive function. The results also proved the mediating role of alpha, beta, and theta brain waves in the relationship between screen time and the children's executive function. Environmental factors (such as home environment and screen time) affect the function of brain waves and, thus, the daily executive function of children.

正面脑电活动是否介导家庭执行功能环境和屏幕时间对儿童执行功能的影响?
执行职能在儿童的各个发展方面发挥着重要作用;然而,影响儿童执行功能及其神经亚结构个体差异的环境因素,特别是在儿童中期,很少被研究。因此,本研究旨在调查家庭执行功能环境(HEFE)和屏幕时间与8-12岁儿童执行功能之间的关系 通过使用α、β和θ波的中介变量。133名正常儿童的父母完成了执行功能、HEFE和屏幕时间尺度的巴克利缺陷。还测量了α、β和θ脑电波。采用相关分析和通径分析对数据进行检验。研究结果表明,家庭执行功能与儿童执行功能之间存在着积极而显著的关系。此外,研究结果表明,屏幕时间与执行功能之间存在显著的反比关系。研究结果还证明了α、β和θ脑电波在屏幕时间和儿童执行功能之间的关系中的中介作用。环境因素(如家庭环境和屏幕时间)影响脑电波的功能,从而影响儿童的日常执行功能。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
