Abstract

The rapid development of communication technologies has had great impact on interpersonal relations together with family and social structure. These technologies, which have made the individual activities of parents more important, have started to play an important role in the relations of parents and their children. Accordingly, this research aims to determine the reactions of students studying at secondary schools towards the restrictions imposed by their parents on communication technologies and their applications. In this study, which was designed as a survey model, procedural diversity was enabled by employing different data collection techniques and content analysis types; categorical data analysis and frequency analysis. In the analysis of the data which were collected by "open-ended question form" and "semi-structured interview", of the content analysis types, categorical analysis and frequency analysis were utilized. The results of the study show that mothers in particular, impose restrictions on their children more and the role of the parents could vary depending on the gender of the restricted child. Students obey the rules set by their parents to a large extent and its rate is higher in girls than boys. At this point, students' reactions to their parents are also themed according to their level obedience. While nearly half of the students say that they obey these restrictions willingly, the others say they obey because they have to. However, most of the students who do not obey the restrictions, react against the restrictions and keep on doing secretly.

An Investigation of the Parental Mediation Situations of Preschool Children’s Parents

“…There are observations that as the education and income level of families increase, parents become concerned about the increase in the time their children spend in front of the screen (Pew, 2015). Parents use different mediation strategies according to their parent role, that is, the mother or father role (Blum-Ross & Livingstone, 2016;Chaudron, 2015;Livingstone et al, 2017;Pew, 2015;Sütçü, 2017;Wang et al, 2005). A study examining the effect of parents' gender on their parental mediation preferences observed that mothers were more protective (Pew, 2015) and preferred restrictive mediation (Livingstone et al, 2017).…”
