“…Chinese culture places a strong emphasis on parents’ responsibilities in educating and disciplining their children (Ma et al, 2018). In comparison with Western parents, Chinese parents tend to be more authoritarian, controlling, and overinvolved (Ma et al, 2018; Wong et al, 2019). Chinese parents also have high expectations for their children’s academic achievement (Ma et al, 2018).…”

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a culturally attuned group cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) intervention for Chinese adolescents at risk for anxiety disorders in Hong Kong and the additive effects of parental involvement. A randomized controlled design was adopted. Assessments were gathered at pre-and posttreatment, and 6-month follow-up. Participants (N ϭ 136) were randomly assigned to (a) CBT plus parental involvement (CBT-PI) (n ϭ 46), (b) CBT (n ϭ 45), and (c) social activity (n ϭ 45) conditions. Data were analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle using multilevel modeling. The CBT-PI condition showed a greater reduction in physical injury fears compared with the CBT condition. The current findings suggest that involving parents in CBT for Chinese adolescents with anxiety problems may provide a small improvement in treatment efficacy.

“…In Chinese culture, parental involvement in a child’s welfare is highly valued because parents are perceived as important agents for children’s development (Ma, Siu, & Tse, 2018; Wong, Zhuang, & Ng, 2019). Chinese parents are highly concerned about children’s academic achievements and exert close monitoring and high demands on them (Ma et al, 2018).…”

“…According to Buri [43] and Baumrind [44], parenting styles can be understood in terms of two dimensions, including parental demandingness or control and parental responsiveness or warmth. Parental demandingness refers to the extent to which a parent controls and monitors the child, whereas parental responsiveness refers to the extent to which a parent shows affective warmth, acceptance, nurturance and support to the child [43][44][45]. The two dimensions can be combined to form four parenting styles: (1) authoritative (high responsiveness and high demandingness), (2) authoritarian (low responsiveness and high demandingness), (3) permissive (high responsiveness and low demandingness), and (4) neglectful (low responsiveness and low demandingness).…”

The Internet has experienced a rapid increase in use globally. Specifically, more than 90% of Hong Kong’s citizens use the Internet, and 70% of children in the age group of 6–17 years have daily access to it. However, internet addiction could pose serious social and health issues. Therefore, conducting research to investigate its causes and risk factors is fundamental. The current study examined the relationship between worry and Internet addiction among children in Hong Kong and investigated the moderating effect of the permissive parenting style on such a relationship. The participants consisted of 227 fourth- and fifth-grade students (120 males, 52.9%) with a mean age of 9.55 (standard deviation (SD) = 0.58) in Hong Kong. Each participant was asked to complete the questionnaires, including the Internet Addiction Test for Internet addiction, the Penn State Worry Questionnaire for Children for worry, and the Parental Authority Questionnaire for the permissive parenting style. The results indicated that worry was related to greater Internet addiction among children. Furthermore, there was a moderating effect of the permissive parenting style such that the positive association between worry and Internet addiction was stronger when the permissive parenting style was higher. Our findings imply that parenting styles are influential in the prevention of Internet addiction.

“…Adicionalmente, puede ser conceptualizado como control psico-lógico y control conductual. El primer tipo se refiere al intento por controlarlas emociones y las creencias de los hijos, limitando su autonomía psicológica y utilizando estrategias como las críticas excesivas, el afecto condicionado, la inducción de culpa, la comunicación restrictiva, la invalidación de sentimientos, la sobreprotección y la intrusividad (Moreno Carmona, 2018).El segundo tipo, el control conductual, involucra la regulación de las actividades y rutinas de los hijos a través del conocimiento que los padres tienen de ellas (Wong, Zhuang y Ng, 2018). Este control se refiere a los intentos de los padres por regular, supervisar y controlar la conducta de los NNA, de acuerdo con las normas familiares o sociales (Baumrind, 2005).…”

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio correlacional sobre los controles y las mediaciones parentales frente al uso de internet por niños, niñas y adolescentes colombianos. Se trata de la encuesta EU Kids Online que fue aplicada en el año 2010 en 25 países europeos y, posteriormente, en Brasil en 2013 y en Chile en 2016. En el presente estudio, le encuesta fue adaptada y validada para la población colombiana mediante un panel de expertos y entrevistas cognitivas a usuarios. Se conformó una muestra estratificada y no probabilística de 303 estudiantes de ambos sexos de colegios públicos y privados, con edades entre 9 y 17 años y uno de sus padres o cuidadores, habitantes de 11 ciudades del país, quienes respondieron a los tres instrumentos de KidsOnline, una encuesta autoaplicada, otra dirigida a los estudiantes, y una tercera dirigida a los padres o cuidadores. Los resultados muestran relaciones entre el control parental y un menor tiempo de conexión a internet por parte de los hijos: el control del padre está relacionado con menor presencia de conductas adictivas a internet y al celular y, por el contrario, una relación autoritaria con la madre está relacionada con mayor presencia de conductas de riesgo en los hijos y específicamente, en el uso de internet. Además, las habilidades digitales de los padres son las que mejor están asociadas con una mediación activa, que los involucra más en las actividades digitales de sus hijos.
