“…In addition, it has been determined that children are often supported by their parents and adults they trust. In fact, the resulted showed that parents were more actively involved and supportive of in their children's Internet compared to the data from 2010, which can be regarded as a positive development for children in the context of online risks (Van Petegem, de Ferrerre, Soenens, van Rooij, & Van Looy, 2019). However, children have difficulties sharing their experiences with their relatives due to their feelings of fear or shame (Karahisar, 2014;Young & Tully, 2019).…”

The purpose of this study is to reveal the changes that occurred between 2010 and 2015 in the Internet activities performed, Internet use skills, online risks, and coping strategies related to such risks of children between the ages of nine and 16 in Turkey as well as the impact of the contextual issues on such changes. An explanatory design using mixed research methods was used for this study. In the quantitative part of the study, the data were collected from 784 children between the ages of nine to 16 who were selected, via a survey, from 12 regions in Turkey in 2015. The data were compared to 2010 data which used similar sampling method and instruments and which collected from 1018 children. In the qualitative part of the study, 84 participants were interviewed, including two children, two parents, two teachers, and a school administrator from each of the 12 regions. The results showed that the Internet access age for children has gradually decreased and that children's Internet access time has increased. An increase has also occurred in regard in the activities performed by children online, such as social networking and watching online movies or video clips, which adds up to an increase in the entertainment factor related to the Internet for children. A significant increase has also occurred in the number of children who feel uncomfortable when they are not online, seek new friends online, and receive general sexually explicit messages over the Internet due to the long hours that they spend online.

“…Legate, Weinstein, and Przybylski (2019) identified that autonomy-supportive parenting styles were linked to adolescents' engaging in less online bullying behaviors, and that pressuring and shaming parenting styles that undermined autonomy were linked to adolescents engaging in more peer bullying. In a similar vein, adolescents whose parents are supportive of autonomy when restricting their technology use are more likely to cooperate and intend to self-disclose their future technology use (Van Petegem, de Ferrerre, Soenens, van Rooij, & Van Looy, 2019;. Further, alongside predicting adolescents' behavior within the context of digital technology use, these same motivational principles have been applied to explain how adolescents are drawn to digital engagement in healthy and unhealthy ways.…”

“…Parental mediation has been previously explored [ 59 , 60 , 61 ], yet research in parental needs and perception of priority problem areas has been scant. Research in problematic gaming has relied primarily on adolescent self-reports and has largely ignored parental or caretakers’ accounts to understand family dynamics [ 62 ], with the large majority of studies on parental mediation being quantitative in nature [ 27 ].…”

Parenting in the digital age has been characterized as one of the most challenging tasks of the modern era. Parents are ambivalent about their mediating role. However, problematic aspects of adolescent online use have not been adequately addressed in education. The present study investigated parental perceptions of intervention needs within schools to prevent excessive/problematic use, enhance parent–child communication, and reduce family conflicts. Nine interviews with parents of adolescents residing in the UK were carried out and analyzed utilizing thematic analysis. Three main themes emerged as parental proposals: (i) schools as digital education providers and prevention hubs, (ii) provision of mental health literacy to raise awareness, resolve ambiguity regarding impacts and mitigate excessive use and impacts, and (iii) psychoeducation and upskilling. The third theme related to impacts from time spent on screens (time displacement), content-related impacts, and context-related impacts. The present study offers recommendations for media literacy during adolescence beyond e-safety (i.e., addressing interpersonal communication problems, privacy vs. disclosure issues), based on parents’ views, and provides new insights for media and emotional health literacy collaboration efforts. Future work should investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of such interventions to support the emotional health of young people and prevent problematic internet use escalation.
