Digital skills are considered critical for functioning in contemporary society, yet there are differences between adolescents’ skills depending on demographic and socioeconomic variables. This study, utilising data from six EU countries ( N = 6221; Mage = 14.5; SD = 1.4), takes a person-oriented approach to examine adolescents digital skill profiles and associations with socioeconomic, digital activity, and socioemotional antecedents. Using latent profile analyses with tests of similarity across countries, we identified five profiles: All-rounders, Informationists, Content Creators, Communicators, and No high skills. The All-rounders reported the highest proportions of skills at a high level (~77–87%) across all dimensions and performed best across digital knowledge items, but Communicators were the largest profile across countries which showed adept acquisition (~67%) of high skills only regarding communication and interaction skills. Among the most important antecedents predicting high digital skills were being male, using computers, and having strong self-efficacy.

六个欧洲国家青少年数字技能的潜在概况


数字技能被认为对于当代社会的运作至关重要，但青少年的技能之间存在差异，具体取决于人口和社会经济变量。这项研究利用来自六个欧盟国家的数据（N = 6221；Mage = 14.5；SD = 1.4），采用以人为本的方法来检查青少年的数字技能概况以及与社会经济、数字活动和社会情感因素的关联。通过潜在特征分析和各国相似性测试，我们确定了五种特征：全能型、信息型、内容创造型、传播型和无高技能型。全能型人才在所有维度上的高水平技能比例最高（约 77-87%），并且在数字知识项目上表现最佳，但沟通型人才在各个国家中表现最出色，表现出善于获取（约 67%）仅涉及沟通和互动技能的高技能。预测高数字技能的最重要因素包括男性、使用电脑以及具有很强的自我效能感。
