Abstract

Along with the rapid growth of technology, the excessive electronic media use of people has been much heralded in recent years. E-media is changing people’s lifestyles and the ways to interact with others. More and more children are getting access to electronic devices, even at younger ages. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to summarize recent advances in the impacts of excessive e-media use on the psychological development of preschoolers aged 0 to 6, with a particular focus on their development of emotion and social relationships. The general negative effect of excessive usage of e-media on toddlers was highlighted in previous studies, as well as summarized in this study. However, little research investigates the specific effects of unreasonable e-media use on preschoolers’ emotions and social relationships and the further consequences. Concerning emotional development, preschoolers with high e-media exposure may have a higher risk of anxiety and depression mediated by sleep quality. Moreover, excessive e-media use can be a source of tension in the family due to negative emotional control and parent-child conflicts caused by electronic products. Also, it can affect peer relationships related to less communication with peers and the violent content in videos.
