Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The two main purposes of the present study were to explore the gadget landscape in Malaysian households and to examine the relationship between gadget use and psychosocial status in pre-schoolers. The sample of the current study consists of 234 parent-child dyads of pre-schoolers aged five and six. Most parents in the study are Malays, married and living in urban regions (e.g. Kuala Lumpur, Sepang & Melaka Tengah). Next, most of the raters are mothers (74.4%). The raters were asked to complete the Gadget Use Questionnaire, to evaluate gadget usage such as duration of use, types of content when using media and types of gadget available, used and owned by pre-schooler, and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), to measure psychosocial status of pre-schoolers such as Peer Relationship Issues, Emotional Problems, Conduct Problem, Hyperactivity and Prosocial Behaviour, in Bahasa Malaysia. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the trends of media use while Ordinal Logistics Regression was used to evaluate the relationship between media use (e.g. duration of use and types of content- cartoon, educational, music and others) and psychosocial adjustment. The finding indicated that mobile devices are readily available at home and are widely used by pre-schoolers. Another finding of the study is the preference for education contents consistently predicted higher psychosocial adjustment scores for Peer Relationship Issues (Odds RatioCartoon =0.14, Odds RatioOthers = 0.19), Emotional Problems (Odds RatioOthers =0.21) and Total Difficulties Score (Odds RatioCartoon =0.19, Odds RatioCartoon&Music = 0.00, Odds RatioOthers= 0.19). In conclusion, mobile devices are readily available at home to Malaysian preschoolers and preference for educational content consistently predicted more psychosocial status problems. The potential cause of this relationship could be due to low-quality educational content. This points to a need to properly regulate the production of educational contents and inform parents of the potential risk of lowquality educational content.
