Specifically, we examined whether smartphone and tablet use was positively related to preadolescents\u2019 self-disclosure to their parents and\/or displaced family time, which we hypothesized to be related to children\u2019s satisfaction with family life. Results of a cross-sectional survey (n\u2009=\u2009698, 49.6% girls, Mage= 10.9, SD = 0.69) provided support for both hypotheses, thus corroborating the presence of at least two diverging pathways that underlie this relationship. Although mobile device use seemed to foster a context that supported children\u2019s self-disclosure to their parents, results also indicated a negative and indirect association through children\u2019s perceived family time. This negative pathway, however, did not hold when social use among children and parents (e.g., playing games together online) was considered separately.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jcmc\/zmaa010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,10]],"date-time":"2020-07-10T11:33:54Z","timestamp":1594380834000},"page":"328-345","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Digital
