| Abstract | ||||
| This research examined the relationship between digital media multitasking, cognitive representation efficiency, and attentional control among adolescents with high and low digital resilience. It also sought to identify significant differences based on gender (male - female), digital resilience level (low - high), and their interaction in digital media multitasking, cognitive representation efficiency, and attentional control. Participants included 120 adolescents (55 males, 65 females) recruited from selected preparatory and secondary schools in Kafrelsheikh City. Data were analyzed using appropriate scales and descriptive, correlational, and comparative methods through SPSS. Results revealed a negative relationship between digital media multitasking and both cognitive representation efficiency and attentional control. They also indicated statistically significant differences in digital media multitasking based on gender, favoring males, and based on digital resilience level, favoring those with low digital resilience. Additionally, there was an interaction effect between gender and group, favoring males in the low digital resilience group. On the other hand, the results showed statistically significant differences in cognitive representation efficiency and attentional control based on gender, favoring females, and based on digital resilience level, favoring those with high digital resilience. Moreover, an interaction effect was observed between gender and group, favoring females in the high digital resilience group. Based on these findings, recommendations for adolescent education and digital resilience development are discussed. | ||||
