This study examined the associations between adolescents' perceived relationships with their parents, perceived parental online behaviors, and Pathological Internet Use (PIU) among adolescents. Additional testing was carried out to determine the effect of different genders (parent and adolescent). Cross-sectional data was collected from 4,559 students aged 12 to 21 years in the cities of Beijing and Jinan, People's Republic of China. Participants responded to an anonymous questionnaire concerning their Internet use behavior, perceived parental Internet use behaviors, and perceived parent-adolescent relationship. Hierarchical linear regressions controlling for adolescents' age were conducted. Results showed different effects of parent and adolescent gender on perceived parent-adolescent relationship and parent Internet use behavior, as well as some other gender-specific associations. Perceived father-adolescent relationship was the most protective factor against adolescent PIU with perceived maternal Internet use positively predicting PIU for both male and female adolescents. However, perceived paternal Internet use behaviors positively predicted only female adolescent PIU. Results indicated a different effect pathway for fathers and mothers on boys and girls, leading to discussion of the implications for prevention and intervention.
本研究考察了青少年感知到的与父母的关系、感知到的父母的在线行为与青少年病理性互联网使用（PIU）之间的关联。还进行了额外的测试，以确定不同性别（父母和青少年）的影响。横断面数据来自中华人民共和国北京市和济南市的 4559 名 12 至 21 岁的学生。参与者回答了一份关于他们互联网使用行为、感知到的父母互联网使用行为以及感知到的亲子关系的匿名问卷。进行了分层线性回归，控制了青少年的年龄。结果表明，父母和青少年的性别对感知到的亲子关系和父母的互联网使用行为有不同的影响，以及一些其他特定于性别的关联。感知到的父亲-青少年关系是预防青少年 PIU 的最有效因素，而感知到的母亲互联网使用则对男性和女性青少年的 PIU 有积极的预测作用。然而，感知到的父亲互联网使用行为仅对女性青少年的 PIU 有积极的预测作用。研究结果表明，父亲和母亲对男孩和女孩的影响途径不同，这引发了对预防和干预措施的意义的讨论。
