“…Behavioral psychologists have found through extensive experimental investigations that actual decisions made by humans under conditions of uncertainty deviate from the predicted behavior of expected utility theory, and that people in decision making tend to exhibit limited rationality, which is known as cognitive bias ( Hertel and Mathews, 2011 ). There are various human cognitive biases, some of them are transient and could trigger more efficient actions at the moment; some of them may cause perception biases due to individuals’ limited information processing ability and their incompleteness of information, which may affect individuals’ decision-making ( Norman, 2014 ; Landucci and Lamperti, 2021 ; Xu et al, 2021 ).

The Internet plays a crucial part in the adolescent life. However, as a product of modernization, the Internet has brought a lifestyle different from that of our parents who tend to regard excessive exposure to the Internet as a manifestation of the adolescent Internet addiction. The cognitive bias against the Internet seem to have been arisen among the parents. Under the theoretical framework of self-efficacy and empathy, this study adopts PLS-SEM to analyze the contributing factors of the adolescent Internet addiction from the perspective of self-affirmation consciousness of parents. The result demonstrates that self-affirmation consciousness has a significant positive effect on the empathy process; the empathy process and self-affirmation have a significant positive effect on cognitive bias; and the empathy process acts as a mediator between self-affirmation and cognitive bias. To sum up, through the investigation of the causes of adolescent Internet addiction, this study explores the formation process of parents’ cognitive bias toward the Internet under the influence of self-affirmation consciousness, verifying the practical effects of empathy in the process of promoting rational thinking of parents toward the Internet and adolescent Internet use, and at the same time promoting the harmonious development of parent–child relationships to a certain extent.

“…El sesgo durante la pandemia barrió la medicina basada en la evidencia y la convirtió en un escenario de medicina basada en la urgencia. La falta de evidencia es la premisa del sesgo cognitivo 8 . La falta de evidencia representa el contexto, el entorno; nosotros somos los actores que tenemos que tomar decisiones debido a nuestra interacción con el mismo.…”
