Abstract

Parental mediation (PM) and parental phubbing (PP) are two pivotal factors that influence children's screen media use. This study used response surface analysis to examine the combined effect of PM and PP on screen time among preschool children. A total of 3,445 parents with preschool-aged children participated in this study, providing self-reported data on PM, PP, and their children's screen time (CST). The results revealed that CST decreased when parents enhanced their mediation behaviors and reduced phubbing behaviors in the cases of congruence between PM and PP. In instances of incongruence, reduced screen time was observed when parents exhibited lower frequency in mediating their CST and displayed fewer phubbing behaviors compared with situations where parents mediated their children more frequently but engaged in higher levels of phubbing behaviors. The findings suggest that PM play a significant role in mitigating preschool-aged children's excessive screen time. Moreover, it is critical to establish positive role modeling by reducing PP behaviors.

家长调解和家长溺爱如何影响学龄前儿童使用屏幕媒体：响应面分析

父母调解（PM）和父母溺爱（PP）是影响儿童使用屏幕媒体的两个关键因素。本研究采用响应面分析法，考察了家长调解和家长溺爱对学龄前儿童使用屏幕媒体时间的综合影响。共有 3,445 名有学龄前儿童的家长参与了这项研究，他们提供了关于 PM、PP 及其子女屏幕时间（CST）的自我报告数据。研究结果表明，如果家长加强了调解行为，并减少了窥视行为，那么孩子的屏幕时间就会减少。在不一致的情况下，与父母更频繁地为子女进行调解但参与更高水平的溺爱行为相比，当父母对子女的屏幕时间（CST）进行调解的频率较低并表现出较少的溺爱行为时，屏幕时间就会减少。研究结果表明，家长在减少学龄前儿童过长的屏幕时间方面发挥着重要作用。此外，通过减少玩屏行为来树立积极的榜样也至关重要。

期刊介绍： Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking is a leading peer-reviewed journal that is recognized for its authoritative research on the social, behavioral, and psychological impacts of contemporary social networking practices. The journal covers a wide range of platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, internet gaming, and e-commerce, and examines how these digital environments shape human interaction and societal norms. For over two decades, this journal has been a pioneering voice in the exploration of social networking and virtual reality, establishing itself as an indispensable resource for professionals and academics in the field. It is particularly celebrated for its swift dissemination of findings through rapid communication articles, alongside comprehensive, in-depth studies that delve into the multifaceted effects of interactive technologies on both individual behavior and broader societal trends. The journal's scope encompasses the full spectrum of impacts—highlighting not only the potential benefits but also the challenges that arise as a result of these technologies. By providing a platform for rigorous research and critical discussions, it fosters a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between technology and human behavior.
