“…Depression, affect, and cognition are considered predictors of parenting in the Taraban and Shaw (2006) process model of parenting. Among adults in the United States, internet addiction was associated with higher levels of depression, higher levels of impulsiveness, lower levels of self-control, and lower levels of cognition (Devine et al, 2022). Further, adults with lower self-control also tended to have more problematic internet use (Devine et al, 2022), so parents’ own regulation is important to consider as it relates to their technology use.…”

Research on how technology enhances or interferes with parent–child relationships is important because it is the basis for technology-related policies and guidelines for caregivers and others who work with young children. This research is especially crucial as access to technology increases; however, there has not been a consistent theoretical base to this work. The lack of theory can limit the scope of this research, as theory can help to guide and contextualize the implications of the research findings. Here, we suggest an integrative theoretical approach that emphasizes context in the study of technology in caregiver–child interactions. Drawing from ecological theory, the process model of parenting, attachment theory, and social learning theory, we consider a theoretical approach to technology in caregiver–child relationships that considers context at multiple levels to guide high-quality research. Implications of research on recommendations for media use are discussed, and recommendations for research design and methodology to incorporate an integrative theoretical approach are offered.

“…One of the areas where the adult population is concerned is about their problematic internet use (Heo et al, 2015 ; Sum et al, 2008 ). Factors such as an increase in technology usage rates and the development of lifelong learning skills cause problems such as problematic internet use in adults (Busch et al, 2021 ; Devine et al, 2022 ).…”

“…It is seen that the current research on the subject focus on the problematic use of the internet, especially by adolescence and early adult individuals. Less is known about adults’ problematic internet use behaviors and practices (Devine et al, 2022 ). In addition, it is seen that studies on problematic internet use are mostly conducted in far eastern countries (Chia et al, 2020 ; Devine et al, 2022 ; Su et al, 2020 ).…”

“…According to the Statista ( 2022 ) report, by 2020, 89% of adults aged 25–34, 82% of adults aged 35–44, 66% of adults aged 45–54, and 55–64 years old in Turkey It is stated that 42% of adults in the range of internet users are active internet users. It is noted that this rate in adults will increase as the socio-economic status of countries improves (Busch et al, 2021 ; Devine et al, 2022 ). For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to research on adult internet use.…”

There is increasing literature examining the use of problematic internet in the context of psychological factors. Most of these studies are focused on the young population. On the other hand, the prolongation of human life and the increasing rate of adult individuals in society’s population cannot be ignored. It is seen that the number of research examining the use of problematic internet in the context of psychological factors is quite limited. In this current study, the problematic internet usage of primary and secondary school students’ parents was examined in happiness, psychological resilience, dispositional hope, self-control and self-management. The research was conducted on 1123 parents. Path analysis was performed to discover the relations between the structures. As a result of the path analysis, it was determined that there is a significant negative relationship between problematic internet use and happiness, problematic internet use and psychological resilience, problematic internet use, and dispositional hope. According to these findings, adults’ high happiness levels, psychological resilience, and hope levels will reduce their problematic internet use. It has been determined that there is a significant indirect relationship between self-control and self-management and problematic internet use. Happiness, psychological resilience, and dispositional hope mediating role in this relationship. Increasing parents’ happiness levels, developing psychological resilience, increasing dispositional hope levels, and developing self-control and self-management skills will reduce problematic internet use. In line with the findings, what can be done to reduce the use of problematic internet has been discussed.
