Overview

Observational analysis shows interparental hostility predicts problematic smartphone use in adolescents, indicating the role of conflict appraisals.

Key Points

  • Adolescents' problematic smartphone use increased with higher interparental hostility when constructive conflict resolution was low.
  • At Grade 9, adolescents reported greater smartphone use linked to perceived threat stemming from interparental conflict at Grade 7.
  • Using multi-informant data across three waves from 364 parent-child dyads, the study explores adolescent conflict appraisals.
  • The findings underscore the importance of addressing interparental dynamics to mitigate adolescents' problematic smartphone use.
