  1. Comparison between the educational groups of each country and the total sample with Wilcoxon signed rank test. Rounded values are presented
  2. 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
  3. bThe 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) [31]. The variables are categorical with specific values of hours in each category
  4. c: the variables 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
  5. d: the 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
  6. **, ***: significant within-group difference at .01 and .001 respectively
