Abstract: In order to clarify the association between media multitasking and attentional ability, the current study employed a multi-identity tracking and multi-object tracking task to explore the effects of media multitasking on attentional control in a dynamic stimulus environment. Using a combination of questionnaire methods (study 1) and experimental methods (study 2 and 3), the results showed that: (1) media multitasking significantly negatively predicted dynamic visual attention; (2) the influence of media multitasking on individuals' dynamic visual attention was mediated by cognitive load. Under the level of high cognitive load, the dynamic visual attention of high-media multitaskers was significantly lower than that of low-media multitaskers; while under the level of low cognitive load, there was no significant difference between them; (3) The effect of media multitasking on dynamic visual attention was not moderated by media-related cues. That is, the dynamic visual attention impairment exhibited by highmedia multitaskers was not only reflected in generalized neutral scenes, but also in specific media-related scenes. This study supported the attentional impaired hypothesis in dynamic attentional processing, enriching the theory of media multitasking in adolescents.

Abstract: The growing body of research on the association between well-being and online social network (OSN) use has resulted in a range of explanations for this relationship.
There is a displacement hypothesis, and simulation and communicative hypotheses (Bruggeman et al., 2019). In addition, there is a Goldilocks hypothesis that could help explain why well-being and internet use do not correlate linearly (Przybylski and Weinstein, 2017).
The main purpose of the study was to analyze the associations between life-satisfaction, integration of online social networks into daily behavior, features of online social networks, motives, and online risks in the context of various approaches. Research methods and sample. The sample consisted of 409 teenagers aged 12-17. A social media use integration scale was utilized to assess the incorporation of online behavior into everyday routines (Jenkins-Guarnieri et al., 2013). Respondents' perceived life-satisfaction was assessed using items based on the scale developed by Diener et al. (1985). Participants were asked about the motives of OSN use, online risks, and features of OSN use (Staksrud et al., 2013). Main results. Life satisfaction was negatively associated with social media use integreation and OSN use features. Risk factors were at the zero-order correlation level. A positive link was found between life-satisfaction and the number of online friends. The regression model accounted for 16% of the variance of life-satisfaction, with significant predictors such as the number of online friends, and the motive of content posting (positive), social media use integration, and risk factors (negative). Conclusion. These results partly support the displacement and stimulation hypotheses, but based on the regression results, it may be speculated that the detrimental impact of online social networks on teenagers' life-satisfaction is more significant. However, the more complex relationships between online social network use and life-satisfaction need to be considered.

Abstract: The relevance of the study of the features of emotional intelligence of adolescents with internet addiction is due to the widespread increase in internet use. Due to age characteristics, adolescence is the most dangerous period. The emotional sphere of teenagers suffers the most from excessive use of the internet, when natural communication is replaced by communication in the virtual world. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the assumptions about the existence of differences in the indicators of emotional intelligence in adolescents with different levels of internet addiction, as well as the relationship between the level of internet addiction and the emotional intelligence of adolescents. Research methods: "Internet addiction test" (K. Young, adapted by V.A. Loskutova); emotional intelligence questionnaire "EmIn" (D.V. Lyusin); Spearman correlation analysis; H-Kruskal-Wallis criterion. The study involved 91 adolescents aged 14-15 years (47 boys, 44 girls) from MAOU "School No. 96 Eureka-Development named after M.V. Nagibin", Rostov-on-Don. The main results of the study: adolescents with a high level of internet addiction had a low level of emotional intelligence (66.7%); adolescents with an average level of internet addiction had an average level of emotional intelligence (56%); adolescents with a low level of internet addiction had an average level of general emotional intelligence (46%). Statistically significant differences in all scales of emotional intelligence have been proven and significant moderate negative correlations between the scales "Level of Internet addiction" and the scale "intrapersonal emotional intelligence", "interpersonal emotional intelligence", "understanding of emotions", "general level of emotional intelligence" have been revealed. Thus, our assumptions are supported. Conclusion. The results of the study will be useful for psychologists and educators to develop an individual program of psychological and pedagogical support for adolescents with internet addiction and a low level of emotional intelligence.
