Cybersecurity Awareness and Its Impact on the Association Between Technology Use and Adolescent Mental Health
Keywords:
Cybersecurity, Awareness, Technology Acceptance, Online Risks, Adolescent Mental HealthAbstract
This research examines the relationship between adolescents' technology use, cybersecurity awareness, and its impact on mental well-being, highlighting the role of digital literacy and responsible online behaviour in achieving positive outcomes. The study examines both negative and positive effects of digital media, advocating for methodological precision to capture associations with mental health. With the evolution of the internet, extensive research has emerged on the impact of digital technology on health, education, and human development. Digital platforms are integral to adolescents' social lives, education, and entertainment, raising concerns about risks like cyberbullying, privacy violations, and exposure to inappropriate content. Findings indicate significant interplay between technology use, cybersecurity awareness, and mental health, with higher awareness and proactive security behaviours linked to better outcomes. Adolescents spend more time online than any other age group, and the increase in use raises concerns about potential negative effects. Notably, existing research emphasises the risks of digital technology, lacking evidence of its benefits. Results highlight cybersecurity awareness's critical role in mediating technology use's effects on mental health and the importance of behavioural intention in shaping cybersecurity practices
