“…Considering the difference between the number of children and parental mediation, there was no significant difference in terms of monitoring like active safety mediation, however, there was a significant difference in the technical mediation dimension. Similarly, parental mediation regarding internet use does not differ according to the number of children in the family (Dulkadir Yaman, and Kabakçı Yurdakul, 2022). The reason for the significant difference in technical mediation is thought to be due to the digital literacy of the parents.…”

Developments in information and communication technologies caused an increase in the possession of digital tools and facilitated their use. The use of digital tools, especially the internet, now starts below the age of two. In this sense, during early childhood, parents have a great responsibility as they are primarily responsible for their children’s “digital exposure.” They need mediation strategies to determine their children’s use of digital tools. This study aims to examine the parental mediation situations of the parents of preschool children. This study, conducted as a survey model, adapted the Parental Mediation Scale to the preschool level as a data collection tool. The participants of the study consisted of 108 parents of preschool children. The results of the study determined that the parental role (mother‒father) and educational status of parents affected parental mediation strategies; whereas, the number of children, internet usage experience, income status, and the age of the parents or children did not affect said strategies. The qualitative analysis indicated that the parents have many concerns about the social‒emotional and physical problems that may occur due to internet use in children from an early age. It is among the other qualitative results that parents prefer more direct intervention techniques and technical solutions to protect their children from the risks of the internet. As a result of the research, this study presents suggestions to parents and researchers for future studies on children’s conscious use of digital tools.

“…As the mother's education level increases, the perceived permissive parent internet attitude rate increases, while the perceived authoritarian parent internet attitude rate increases as the father's education level increases. There are studies stating that parental mediation differs according to the educational status of the parents (Durak, 2019) or not (Dulkadir Yaman, 2019). Perceived parent internet attitudes of middle school students differ according to school type.…”

The power and value of technology in the information age has been effective in the spread of technology and its use at younger ages. Adolescents are in the risk group in terms of the negative consequences of technology. Today, bullying that has moved to the virtual environment has brought cyber victimization. In order to examine the relationship between the parental internet attitudes of secondary school students and their cyber victimization, 684 secondary school students studying in the city center of Konya (Türkiye) participated in the research in the 2020-2021 academic year. “Cyber Victimization” and “Parental Internet Attitude” questionnaires and “Demographic Information Form” were used to collect the data. It was seen that the most perceived parental internet attitude was the authoritative one and the perceived parental internet attitude of the students who experienced the most victimization was the laissez-faire attitude. According to the participating middle school students, parental internet attitudes differ respecting gender, grade level, education level of parents and school type. It was observed that there was no difference as regards the grade point average. It was also determined that students' cyber victimization is at a low level, and cyber victimization differs according to class level and education level of mother and father. It was found out that there was no difference according to gender, grade point average and school type. In addition, it was observed that parental internet attitude has different effects on the level of cyber victimization.
