Abstract

Purpose: To compare risk of problematic internet use (PIU) and importance of digital media interactions for transgender and cisgender adolescents.

Methods: A nationally representative group of adolescents took an online survey that included a measure of PIU (Problematic and Risky Internet Use Screening Scale-3 [PRIUSS-3]) and technology interactions (Adolescent Digital Technology Interactions and Importance scale). We compared mean scores for these scales and their subscales and rates of positive screens for PIU for transgender and cisgender adolescents.

Results: Of 4575 adolescents participating, 53 (1.2%) were transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse (TNG) adolescents. TNG adolescents had higher PRIUSS-3 scores and higher mean scores for importance of technology to explore identity/go outside their offline environment.

Conclusions: TNG adolescents report higher PIU risk, which may relate to differences in technology importance for this group.

跨性别青少年的互联网使用和技术互动问题

目的：比较变性青少年和双性恋青少年使用问题互联网（PIU）的风险和数字媒体互动的重要性：一组具有全国代表性的青少年参加了一项在线调查，调查内容包括 PIU 测量（问题性和风险性互联网使用筛查量表-3 [PRIUSS-3]）和技术互动（青少年数字技术互动和重要性量表）。我们比较了这些量表及其分量表的平均得分，以及变性和同性青少年的 PIU 阳性筛查率：在参与调查的 4575 名青少年中，有 53 名（1.2%）是变性、非二元和性别多元化（TNG）青少年。TNG青少年的PRIUSS-3得分更高，在探索身份/走出线下环境的技术重要性方面的平均得分也更高：结论：TNG 青少年报告的 PIU 风险较高，这可能与该群体在技术重要性方面的差异有关。
