  1. a0 = Female; 0 b = No developmental disorder; c Parent stress index. * p < .05, **p < .001. Model 1: A significant positive main effect was found for screen time and internalizing behaviours (p = .030). Model 2: Children’ screen time was further explored in an extended model including parent stress and parental involvement, which were both significantly associated with children’s internalizing behaviours (both, p < .05). Model: 3 An interaction model with screen time and parent stress were significantly associated with one another (p = .001)
