“…Ability to participate intentionally in new media space requires taking advantage of the positive aspects of digital media, and protection against both, popular and less visible e-threats, such as: cyberbullying, [3]. Internet addiction and various forms of pathologic use of it, [15], sexting [7], self-control and self-evaluation in terms of using electronic media [1], protection of online image [4] or legal consequences of Internet abuse, [21].

Digital competences have become one of basic skills in XXI century. Due to the ability to digitally access data and manage information and use electronic services, the quality of life has improved, and there has been an improvement in many activities connected with communication, shopping, ticket booking and a range of other repetitive activities. However, there is an additional layer overlapping the technical skills, which layer is connected with understanding the threats deriving from common availability of ICT. The aim of this paper is a diagnosis of digital competences level of parents in the matter of safe use of electronic media. To do this, quantitative research have been prepared, which measure six crucial areas of internet threats: ability to evaluate reliability of information on Internet, safety in the matter of contact with other users, image protection on Internet, knowledge concerning copyrights, knowledge concerning cyber-bullying mechanisms, proper performance of financial operations. The weakest areas of digital literacy seem to be: copyright protection and issues concerning contact with other users. The research was realized with the use of a competence test. The analysis was carried out on 260 parents of students attending secondary schools in the second half of 2016.

“…There are many research results that show effectiveness of parental control exercised as set rules for using electronic media. This control becomes a factor that protects children against online risk behaviours (Hashim, Kannan, N., Maximiano, Ulmer, 2014;Wąsiński, Tomczyk, 2015;Tuukkanen, Wilska, 2015;Bayraktar, 2017). This assumption has been also proved by gathered data.…”

“…This study aimed to assess the various dimensions of parental internet mediation to regulate teens' internet use and its predictors. Given the research objectives, the ndings are based on parents' perceptions and assessment about teens' online engagements and other dimensions, corresponding to previous studies [36,37,49,50]. The research provides local evidence for Pakistan and thus adds value by lling some of the gaps in the existing literature.…”

“…This focus was chosen because, with higher education, serving professionals and those belonging to the middle class or having high socio-economic status are more aware of internet-related bene ts and risks and are, therefore, more likely to apply mediation [34][35][36]. Learning from previous studies [34][35][36], this research narrowed its focus only to the mothers belonging to middle to high socio-economic status due to several facts. Firstly, teens from middle to high social class use the internet more often on a range of devices, as compared to low social class [37].…”

Background: The internet has become the most widely used medium among teenagers, who spend much of their time online, which raises parental concerns. Notwithstanding teens’ increased internet use and exposure to online risks, little is yet known about parental internet mediation in local settings. The present research aimed to assess the various dimensions of parental mediation to regulate teens’ use of the internet, and their predictors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the district of Lahore, Pakistan, among mothers/female caregivers of teens (aged 13–19 years). Only women were interviewed because they are more frequently engaged as primary caregivers than fathers or male caregivers. Furthermore, only qualified and working mothers from the top two professions among women, i.e. academia and medicine, were interviewed. A stratified random sampling technique was adopted, and 347 mothers were interviewed using face-to-face interviews at 11 universities and 11 hospitals/medical colleges. Data was entered and analysed using descriptive, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results: The findings highlighted that more than 65% of respondents applied high active mediation of internet safety, around 60% used high active co-use mediation and more than 56% applied restrictive mediation. In addition, 36% of respondents monitored and 15.3% technically mediated to regulate their teens’ use of the internet. The results of the multivariate logistic regression revealed that the majority of respondents were more inclined to adopt active internet safety mediation if they had teens aged 16–19 years, with medium internet addiction, possessed good digital skills, felt confident about their teens’ coping appraisal to perform online protection, and considered their teens to have high self-esteem and resilience. Conclusions: This research found that parental internet mediation is a multi-faceted concept used to regulate teens’ online activity and enhance a resilient approach to reduce the risks associated with use of the internet. The researchers recommend developing parental guidelines, e-safety resource material, local support networks and community programmes to educate parents, teachers and teens in order to raise awareness and promote resilient pathways amongst teens.
