Deakin Research Aims

Our research aims to capture a snapshot of a week in the life of a child, focusing on how digital technology fits into their daily routines. We’re looking to understand which types of digital use are most beneficial for children’s well-being, including aspects like mood, behavioural strengths and difficulties, and social and family functioning.

The insights gained from this study will help shape policy and recommendations on the best ways for parents, caregivers, and teachers to integrate digital technology into children’s lives for positive well-being outcomes. This research has been approved by the Deakin University Ethics and Advisory Board – HEAG-H 03_2024.
