Relations between kinesiological engagement, psychological characteristics and types of mobile phone and computer usage in adolescents
The aim of this study was to determine the relations between different ways of using mobile phones and computers and kinesiological activity, as well as certain psychological characteristics of adolescents. The participants in the research were 305 older elementary school children in Trogir, Kaštela and Solin. Variables of kinesiological activity, passive preoccupation with sport, perceived sports competence and self- esteem were measured. A new scale of mobile phone use was constructed. A taxonomic analysis was used to determine three types of mobile phone and computer use, yielding low, medium and high activity mobile phone and computer users. Male and female elementary school children significantly differ in the degree of mobile phone and computer use for different purposes, but they do not differ in the frequency of belonging to a certain type of mobile phone and computer users. Low activity mobile phone and computer users had a significantly higher degree of perceived personal health image and general self-esteem than the other two types. High activity mobile phone and computer users had a significantly higher degree of passive sport preoccupation, and the male elementary school child had somewhat highly pronounced perceived sport competence and kinesiological engagement.
