“…While not a primary consideration for this survey, comparisons of parenting style demonstrated some correlation with high IAT scores in young people. These data warrant further investigation but support earlier literature suggesting the association of parental mental health, parenting style, and familial demographics with development of PIU.…”

ImportanceLimited systematic information on familial factors and perception of the benefits and harms of internet use by youths is available. Much of the current research has been hampered by small nondiverse samples and limited information on key familial and offspring characteristics.ObjectiveTo characterize parental perceptions and concerns about internet use associated with adolescent development, well-being, safety, family connectedness, and potential for problematic internet use.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA 20-minute, English-language survey was developed with expert stakeholders using previously validated questionnaires and was conducted online between June 17 and July 5, 2022. Participants included 1005 parents of children and adolescents aged 9 to 15 years drawn from an online digital survey platform and calibrated for representation with post hoc weightings.Main Outcomes and MeasuresParent survey responses about family characteristics and internet use were used to compute Internet Addiction Test scores for parents and their offspring, Alabama Parenting Questionnaire scores, and an aggregate family connectedness score.ResultsThe survey cohort of 1005 parents included 568 women (56.5%) and 437 men (43.5%) with a mean age (SD) of 39.5 (6.4) years. In terms of race and ethnicity, the most common categories included Black or African American (95 [9.5%]), Latinx or Hispanic (100 [10.0%]), White (602 [59.9%]), and 2 or more races or ethnicities (122 [12.1%]). Respondents endorsed parental concerns that included exposure to harmful content (646 [64.3%]) and online bullying (533 [53.0%]). Two hundred twenty-five parents (22.4%) had specific concerns about internet addiction in their adolescent offspring, and twice as many parents reported specific concerns about internet addiction than substance addiction. However, parents also indicated that internet use improved family connectedness among immediate families (468 [46.6%]) and extended families (568 [56.5%]). Internet Addiction Test scores in adolescent offspring were correlated with parent scores (β = 0.62 [SE = 0.02]; P &lt; .001) and Alabama Parenting Questionnaire-Inconsistent Discipline scores (β = 0.23 [SE = 0.11]; P = .04).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this survey study of parent perceptions of internet use among adolescent offspring, parents believed the internet brought families closer yet also expressed concerns. Problematic internet use among youths was correlated with negative parenting styles and parent internet use. This research adds to the literature by suggesting that families, their communities, and industry may have common ground to collaborate on reducing the negative effects of internet use.

“…Among the included articles, there was a significant positive correlation between adolescents' DERS total scores and their severity of problematic smartphone use ( Amendola, Spensieri, Guidetti, & Cerutti, 2019 ; Coco et al., 2020 ; Domoff, Sutherland, Yokum, & Gearhardt, 2020 ; Giordano, Coco, Salemo, & Biasi, 2020 ; Mancinelli, Sharka, Lai, Sgaravatti, & Salcuni, 2021 ) and problematic Internet use ( Amendola et al., 2019 ; Anita, András, & Bernadette, 2014 ; Casale et al., 2016 ; Estévez, Jáuregui, Sánchez-Marcos, López-González, & Griffiths, 2017 ; Faghani, Akbari, Hasani, & Marino, 2019 ; Gutiérrez, Fernández, Gonzalvo, & Bilbao, 2014 ; Günaydın, Arıcı, Kutlu, & Demir, 2021 ; Kafali et al., 2020 ; Kim & Chun, 2016 ; Love, May, Shafer, Fincham, & Cui, 2022 ; Mo, Chan, Chan, & Lau, 2018 ; Qi, 2019 ; Sertbaş et al., 2020 ; Uçur & Dönmez, 2021 ; Wang & Qi, 2017 ; Yorulmaz, Civgin, & Yorulmaz, 2020 ). The DERS was developed by Gratz and Roemer (2004) to measure emotion dysregulation.…”

Background and aims We aimed to systematically identify, evaluate and summarize the research on adolescent emotion dysregulation and problematic technology use. We critically appraise strengths and limitations and provide recommendations for future research. Methods We followed the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and conducted a systematic review of published original reports on adolescent emotion dysregulation and problematic technology use published until March 1, 2022. A thorough search preceded the selection of studies matching prespecified criteria. Strengths and limitations of selected studies, regarding design and reporting, were identified based on current best practices. Results 39 studies met inclusion criteria. All of these studies provided on the relationship between adolescent emotion dysregulation and problematic technology use severity based on self-report data. Discussion There was a positive correlation between adolescent emotion dysregulation and the severity of problematic technology use. Beyond this, other variables (such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, etc.) were also closely related to emotion dysregulation and problematic technology use. Such studies are of importance to better understand cause-effect relations regarding both variables.

“…Previous research showed that internet activities are closely related to mental states and emotional signs (Gros et al, 2020). This is supported by Günaydın et al (2021), whose findings showed that one of the factors that can influence problematic internet use is emotion regulation difficulties. Maladaptive emotion regulation is a factor that can sustain problematic internet use in individuals (Wartberg and Linderberg, 2020).…”

Secondary problems as a result of internet use are becoming common at young age. Research related to factors that influence internet problems continues to be carried out to develop internet problem strategies such as Islamic religious coping and emotion regulation difficulties. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of Islamic religious coping on problematic internet use (PIU) with emotion regulation difficulties as a mediating variable. This study used a quantitative approach with 304 Muslim undergraduate students in Indonesia as respondents. The measuring instruments used were Iranian Religious Coping (IRCOPE), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-18 (DERS-18), and Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (GPIUS 2), which had been adapted into the Indonesian language. The results of the path analysis technique showed an effect of Islamic religious coping on emotion regulation difficulties and problematic internet use. However, there was no effect of Islamic religious coping on problematic internet use. This indicates that emotion regulation difficulties can fully mediate the correlation between Islamic religious coping and problematic internet use.
