Research Publication: Association of Young Children’s Use of Mobile Devices with Their Self-Regulation

This study examines associations between self-regulation and screen media device use in early childhood, comparing use of traditional screen devices (e.g., televisions) and mobile screen devices (e.g., tablets, smartphones). This is the first PACT Study paper from the DESC Lab (Lawrence, Narayan, & Choe, 2020).
