Question 1

What does Geurts et al (2023) examines?

Answer 1

How ‘Internet-specific’ parenting practices (rule setting, reactive restrictions, and co-use) and ‘General parenting’ (responsiveness and autonomy granting) predict PSMU

Question 2

What do the findings show, with regards to what the best parenting style is for preventing PSMU by Geurts et al (2023)?

Answer 2

A supportive general parenting independent from limiting children’s internet use is the best way to prevent PSMU.

Question 3

A supportive general parenting (responsiveness and autonomy granting) strategy is the best way to prevent PSMU, in which article is this?

Answer 3

Geurts et al (2023)

Question 4

According to Geurts et al (2023) what should prevention be focused on?

Answer 4

On children who are in a less supportive context, as well as helping parents the importance of positive parenting.

Question 5

One of the parenting profiles was associated with the least problematic social media use of adolescents. Give examples of what that type of parenting looks like in daily practice. Geurts et al (2023)

Answer 5

The parenting profiel ‘limiting and supportive’ -> Be present and supportive and discuss reasonable screen time.

Question 6

According to Vossen et al, what is positive parenting?

Answer 6

Parenting that is characterized by affection, responsiveness and demandingness. -> Less PSMU.

Question 7

Positive parent-child relationship and a positive general parenting style, in combination with setting clear age-appropriate rules about social media use, while avoiding at-the-moment impulsive interferences, seems to be the most promising parenting strategy to avoid children from developing PSMU. Who argued this?

Answer 7

Vossen et al

Question 8

Restricting adolescents’ online access seems a very intuitive parenting practice in preventing problematic social media use (PSMU). What are the authors’ findings regarding rule setting? Vossen et al.

Answer 8

Parental rule setting (parents setting rules about when, where, and how long adolescents are allowed to use social media) is related to less PSMU. On the other hand reactive restrictions (active intervening when adolescents are engaged in social media use) seems to be linked to more PSMU.

Question 9

What does parental phubbing lead to according to Vossen et al?

Answer 9

Parental phubbing = parents on social media during parent-child interaction. -> Shows more PSMU.
