  1. Comparison between the educational groups of each country and the total sample with Mann–Whitney U test.

  3. aResponse categories: 1.Not at all 2.30 min/day 3.1 h/day 4.2 h/day 5.2,5 h/day 6.3 h/day 7.3,5 h/day 8.4 or more h/day

  5. cThe indicated amounts of hours are derived from the sum of the respective question items for TV (T1a and T1b) and PC time (T4a and T4b) (27). The variables are categorical with specific values of hours in each category.
  6. dthe variables TV/PC time for weekdays and weekend-days are measured with an extra response category for 1,5 h/day (coded as 4); as such the items include 9 response categories. This does not apply for the results of the total sample
