Abstract

A plethora of studies have shown that parenting practices can lead to problematic Internet use. However, few studies have explored how parents foster positive online behavior in adolescents. This study addresses this gap by using self-determination theory to examine how supportive parenting practices, such as autonomy support and structure provision, can influence digital citizenship behaviors in adolescents. The study considered the mediating role of adolescents’ self-regulation, and examined how sex and adolescence stage moderate these relationships. The study included 570 Mexican adolescents (48% girls and 52% boys), and structural equation modeling and multigroup invariance statistics were conducted for analysis. The results showed that autonomy support was positively associated with all dimensions of digital citizenship, while structure provision was only positively associated with online civic engagement. Self-regulation was found to mediate the relationship between autonomy support, structure provision, and digital citizenship behaviors. The multigroup analysis confirmed that sex and adolescence stage did not affect the relationship between parenting practices and digital citizenship behaviors. Overall, the results suggest that supportive parenting practices can encourage positive digital citizenship behaviors among adolescents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
