Frontiers in Psychology, 12(344). https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.5902791664-1078http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/17943The coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak forced most of the world’s population to be confined at home to prevent contagion. Research reveals that one of the consequences of this confinement for children is an increased amount of time spent using screens (television, computers, and mobile devices, etc.) at home. This exploratory study aims to analyze the association between screen time exposure and emotional/behavioral problems of infants and children aged under 7 years, as manifested during the lockdown period in Portugal due to the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak.engCOVID-19 confinementChildren’s well-beingScreen timeDigital mediaEmotional problemsBehavioral problemsAre emotional and behavioral problems of infants and children aged younger than 7 years related to screen time exposure during the Coronavirus disease 2019 confinement?
