Smart phones, tablets, portable video games, and the like are a normal part of children's everyday lives, yet excessive media use presents a multitude of health and developmental concerns. The specific problem is that the impact of portable screen time on children's attention is unknown, and screen time could potentially result in negative outcomes such as poor school readiness and social difficulties. This study rested on the broad theoretical framework of cognitive processes and looked at attention as a component of executive function. The purpose of this non-experimental causal comparative study was to assess the relationship between portable screen time and kindergarteners' levels of attention (the first research question), and to investigate learning content as a potential moderator (the second research question). Parents evaluated attention using the Preschool and Kindergarten Behaviors Scale, 2nd Edition attention subscale and completed a questionnaire on portable screen time and content. Data were collected from 19 boys and 21 girls and then analyzed via hierarchical multiple regression using a sample size of 38 (N = 38). Results included a significant relationship between screen time and attention, where, as screen time increased, attention scores increased, indicative of decreased attention, and insignificant findings for a moderating relationship between screen time and learning index on attention. It was recommended that parents, teachers and caregivers monitor children's portable screen time to ensure attention is not compromised, and that screen time be utilized for educational purposes using quality programming. Recommendations for future research include studies which address portable screen time and learning content, structure/pacing, and interactivity. Additionally, future studies will need to address the context of children's screen time.
