Impact of Modern Technology and Electronic Screen Usage on Children: A Factor Analysis Study in Erbil City

This study looks into how children in Erbil City are affected by electronic screens and modern technology, with a particular emphasis on identifying important elements that affect their use. Eight primary components were identified by factor analysis, accounting for 59.906% of the variance in the data. The amount of time spent on screens, parental control measures, effects on education and health, and social factors were all significant variables. The sample's suitability for factor analysis was validated using the Bartlett's test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure. The results show how technology affects kids in many ways and offer guidance for focused interventions and laws that encourage responsible technology use.
