Abstract: |
The Kids' Life and Times Survey is an annual quantitative survey documenting the opinions of children aged 10 and 11 years old in Northern Ireland on a wide range of social issues that affect their lives. This study used primary data from the 2009 survey, which involved 3,657 children and included questions focusing on access to, and use of, technology. The analysis included measurement using the KIDSCREEN-27 instrument which assesses quality of life from the child's perspective in terms of physical, psychological and social well-being. The article reports on the analysis and results. The survey indicated high levels of use of technology in general and the internet, including social networking sites and online games. The data indicated that the use of social networking sites and online games is related to poor psychological well-being among girls, but not boys, and that boys and girls who experience cyberbullying have poorer psychological well-being. Nearly all participants said that a parent or teacher had talked to them about internet safety. |
