Abstract
Background : This study of 87,302 Chinese adolescents aimed to test: (1) the association of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) with sleep disturbance and three different subtypes of problematic technology use (PTU), including problematic social media use (PSMU), problematic smartphone use (PSU), and internet gaming disorder (IGD); and (2) whether sleep disturbance mediated the relationship between PTU and PLEs. Method : 16-item Prodromal Questionnaire, Smartphone-Application Based Addiction Scale, the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Strength and Difficulties Questionnaires were employed. Results : (1) The prevalence of clinically relevant PLEs, IGD, PSMU, PSU, and sleep disturbance was 18.1%, 2.4%, 1.5%, 17.2%, and 26%, respectively. (2) PSU, PSMU, and IGD displayed comparable levels of association with PLEs
