In the present study we propose a model linking parental perceptions of technology to technology-related parenting strategies to youth screen time, and, finally, to internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors. Participants were 615 parents drawn from three community samples of families with children across three developmental stages: young childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence. The model was tested at each stage with the strongest support emerging in the young childhood sample. One component of parental perceptions of technology, perceived efficacy, was related to technology-related parenting strategies across developmental stages. However, the association of these strategies to child screen time and, in turn, problem behaviors, diminished as children increased in age. Implications for intervention are considered.
在本研究中，我们提出了一个模型，该模型将父母对技术的认知与技术相关的育儿策略联系起来，进而与青少年的屏幕使用时间相关联，最终与内化和外化问题行为相关联。参与者是从处于三个发育阶段（幼儿期、童年中期和青春期）的有孩子的家庭的三个社区样本中抽取的615名家长。该模型在每个阶段都进行了测试，其中幼儿期样本得到的支持最强。父母对技术的认知的一个组成部分，即感知效能，在各个发育阶段都与技术相关的育儿策略有关。然而，随着孩子年龄的增长，这些策略与孩子屏幕使用时间以及问题行为之间的关联减弱。文中还考虑了干预的意义。
