Abstract
Data from a sample of 33,241 adolescents indicated that high screen time and poor flourishing—reflecting psychological well-being—significantly correlated with less homework completion and lower rates of caring about school. These results provide insights into fostering academic engagement among adolescents through screen time and mental health monitoring.
