The Threshold Effect of Internet Use on the Self-Management Ability of Low-Age Left behind Children
Based on a survey of 3791 primary school students in 8 counties(districts)of Hubei Province,this paper discusses the impact of Internet use on the self-management ability of low-age left-behind children from three dimensions:conditions of Internet use,use preferences and duration of use.The study finds that conditions of Internet use have no significant impact on the self-management ability of low-age left-behind children,Internet use preferences and duration have significant impact on it,and the duration of children's online learning has a significant threshold effect on it.Reasonable guidance on children's Internet use preferences,and regulation of the Internet use time and online learning time can improve the information literacy of left-behind children.Caring about and supporting the low-age left-behind children's physical and mental health development in an all-round manner and reducing their Internet dependence is an important way to improve their self-management ability.
