Abstract

Academic resilience (AR) could function as a preventative factor in mitigating a potential risk of the rising prevalence of excessive screen time and multi-screen addiction (MSA) among adolescents. The study examines the relationship between MSA and AR and the critical factors associated with these two variables in middle and high school students. The study was conducted with 405 students, 218 middle and 187 high school students. A multigroup analysis reveals the mitigating effect of AR on MSA for both sub-samples. It also shows that the role of daily time spent with family in relieving MSA is significant for both sub-samples. However, while the effect of daily watching time on MSA is significant only for high school students, the impact of the level of utilization of ICT for fun on MSA is noteworthy only for middle school students. For both sub-samples, ICT use for research purposes and participants' perceptions of learning performance ranking level are substantial predictors of AR. However, the effect of daily time spent with family on AR is significant for the high school sub-sample but not for the middle school group.
