Navigating the Digital Landscape: Examining Screen Usage, Digital Stress and Academic Attention in Adolescent Girls

Abstract Digital devices are now a regular part of adolescent education, communication, and leisure. This increased use has raised concerns about cognitive overload, stress, and attention. The present study examined the relationships among screen usage, digital stress, and academic attention in 230 adolescent girls aged 13 to 17 years. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional survey design was used. The Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version (SAS-SV), Digital Stress Scale, and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale–Adolescents (MAAS-A) were administered. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used for analysis. Participants showed moderate levels of digital stress, academic attention, and smartphone usage. Digital stress had a weak positive relationship with academic attention, r = .146, p = .027. Smartphone usage was not significantly related to academic attention, r = .051, p = .437, or digital stress, r = −.096, p = .146. The regression model was not statistically significant, F(2, 227) = 2.98, p = .053, and explained 3% of the variance in academic attention. Digital stress was a significant predictor within the model, but its practical contribution was small. Smartphone usage was not a significant predictor. The findings suggest that the effects of digital technology cannot be understood by screen duration alone. The nature and quality of digital engagement may be more important. Other factors, including self-regulation, academic pressure, sleep, motivation, and the school environment, may also influence academic attention.
