Abstract

This study investigated factors associated with online orientation and preferences in lower-grade schoolchildren, focusing on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), boredom, and concentration tendencies in both children and mothers, as well as maternal parenting styles. Data were collected from 341 mothers (172 of boys, 169 of girls), who completed rating scales on these factors and reported their children's preferred activities and those they could concentrate on for extended periods. Based on maternal responses, children were categorized into "online-concentrated" (n = 191) vs. "non-online-concentrated" (n = 150) and "online-play" (n = 95) vs. "non-online-play" (n = 246) groups. ADHD and boredom tendencies in children were strongly associated with an online orientation, while concentration tendencies were linked to a non-online orientation. Maternal boredom tendencies also appeared to influence children's online orientation. Furthermore, higher maternal control was associated with increased engagement in non-online activities. These findings imply that parents should tailor their approach to managing children's online activities based on their children's individual traits (e.g., boredom and ADHD tendencies) while also considering their own behavioral tendencies, such as boredom.

小学低年级的网络倾向：与多动症、无聊、注意力集中倾向和母亲养育方式的关系。

本研究调查了低年级学童网络取向和偏好的相关因素，重点关注儿童和母亲的注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）、无聊和注意力集中倾向，以及母亲的养育方式。研究人员从341名母亲（172名男孩，169名女孩）那里收集了数据，这些母亲完成了这些因素的评分量表，并报告了她们的孩子喜欢的活动和他们可以长时间专注的活动。根据母亲的反应，将孩子分为“上网集中”（ = 191）和“上网集中”（ 191）。“非在线集中”（n = 150）和“在线游戏”（n = 95）vs。“非在线游戏”（n = 246）组。儿童的注意力缺陷多动症和无聊倾向与上网倾向密切相关，而注意力集中倾向与非上网倾向相关。母亲的无聊倾向也会影响孩子的网络倾向。此外，更高的母亲控制与非在线活动的参与增加有关。这些发现表明，家长应该根据孩子的个人特征（如无聊和多动症倾向）来调整管理孩子在线活动的方法，同时也要考虑他们自己的行为倾向，如无聊。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
