Abstract: (66 Views)
Background: Internet addiction is a problem that threatens the mental and social health of teenagers. It is very important to identify and understand the factors that lead to Internet addiction. There is a research gap regarding the role of media literacy and cognitive emotion regulation in predicting Internet addiction based on parenting style and psychological control of period high school students.
Aims: The purpose of this research was to developing a prediction model for Internet addiction based on parenting style and psychological control and the mediating role of media literacy and cognitive regulation of emotion in period high school students of Kermanshah.
Methods: The method of this descriptive research was correlational. The statistical population of the research included all the period high school students in Kermanshah in the academic year of 2023-2024. In order to select a statistical sample using the multi-stage cluster sampling method, 384 students of the period high school in Kermanshah were selected. Data collection tools in this research include Young's Internet Addiction questionnaire (Young, 1998), Parenting Style Inventory (Baumrind, 1991), Dependency-Oriented and Achievement-Oriented Psychological Control Scale (Soenens et al., 2010), Media literacy questionnaire (Thoman, 1995) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006). Also, the data of this research were analyzed through path analysis method and using SMARTPLS software.
Results: The results showed that Internet addiction can be predicted through parenting methods directly and with the mediating role of media literacy and cognitive regulation of emotion (P< 0.05), But it is not interpreted directly and with a mediating role through psychological control.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research, it is suggested that educational programs in schools should be considered in order to make parents more aware of the harmful effects of excessive use of the Internet on their children. Also, considering the confirmation of the influence of the parenting method on the state of Internet addiction in this research, these trainings can help parents in effective parenting methods.
