          Abstract

          Abstract Self-regulation is a basic skill that can prevent problematic Internet and smartphone use in adolescence (LaRose et al., 2003). The present study explored regulation strategies in the use of this device, as well as the relationships between such strategies and the background variables of Caplan´s (2010), model, to identify those adolescents who present high or low negative consequences of Internet use. With a representative sample of adolescents from 1st to 4th year of secondary education in the Community of Madrid (N = 524, Mage= 13.57, SD= 1.24, Range= 12-17), our results indicated that parents were the ones who regulated smartphone use in about half of the adolescents. Self-regulation deficit with cognitive rumination, parent intervention to regulate the use of this device and the variables of Caplan´s (2010) model -except for online emotional regulation- were significant predictors to identify those adolescents who showed high or low negative consequences. Educational implications and future lines of research are also discussed.

          Resumen La autorregulación constituye una habilidad básica que puede prevenir el uso problemático de internet y del smartphone en la etapa adolescente (LaRose et al., 2003). El presente estudio explora las estrategias de regulación del uso de este dispositivo, así como las relaciones de tales estrategias y de las variables antecedentes del modelo de Caplan (2010) para identificar a aquellos adolescentes que presentan altas o bajas consecuencias negativas del uso de internet. Con una muestra representativa de adolescentes de 1º a 4º de la ESO de la Comunidad de Madrid (N = 524, Medad = 13.57, DT = 1.24, Rango = 12-17), nuestros resultados apuntaron a que son los padres los que regulaban el uso del smartphone en cerca de la mitad de los adolescentes. El déficit de autorregulación con rumiación cognitiva, la intervención de los padres para regular el uso de este dispositivo y las variables del modelo de Caplan (2010) -excepto la regulación emocional online- fueron predictores significativos para identificar a aquellos adolescentes que mostraban altas o bajas consecuencias negativas. Las implicaciones educativas y las futuras líneas de investigación son resaltadas.

            A Social Neuroscience Perspective on Adolescent Risk-Taking.

            This article proposes a framework for theory and research on risk-taking that is informed by developmental neuroscience. Two fundamental questions motivate this review. First, why does risk-taking increase between childhood and adolescence? Second, why does risk-taking decline between adolescence and adulthood? Risk-taking increases between childhood and adolescence as a result of changes around the time of puberty in the brain's socio-emotional system leading to increased reward-seeking, especially in the presence of peers, fueled mainly by a dramatic remodeling of the brain's dopaminergic system. Risk-taking declines between adolescence and adulthood because of changes in the brain's cognitive control system - changes which improve individuals' capacity for self-regulation. These changes occur across adolescence and young adulthood and are seen in structural and functional changes within the prefrontal cortex and its connections to other brain regions. The differing timetables of these changes make mid-adolescence a time of heightened vulnerability to risky and reckless behavior.

              Age differences in sensation seeking and impulsivity as indexed by behavior and self-report: evidence for a dual systems model.

              It has been hypothesized that sensation seeking and impulsivity, which are often conflated, in fact develop along different timetables and have different neural underpinnings, and that the difference in their timetables helps account for heightened risk taking during adolescence. In order to test these propositions, the authors examined age differences in sensation seeking and impulsivity in a socioeconomically and ethnically diverse sample of 935 individuals between the ages of 10 and 30, using self-report and behavioral measures of each construct. Consistent with the authors' predictions, age differences in sensation seeking, which are linked to pubertal maturation, follow a curvilinear pattern, with sensation seeking increasing between 10 and 15 and declining or remaining stable thereafter. In contrast, age differences in impulsivity, which are unrelated to puberty, follow a linear pattern, with impulsivity declining steadily from age 10 on. Heightened vulnerability to risk taking in middle adolescence may be due to the combination of relatively higher inclinations to seek excitement and relatively immature capacities for self-control that are typical of this period of development.
