Abstract
This study examined the associations between parents' and children's executive functions and parental technoference during preschool and school age. Participants were 621 parents of children aged 3-12 years. Parental technoference was measured by two indices: parent-child technology interference and parental problematic smartphone use. Parental technoference, parents' executive functions, and children's executive functions were measured via parental report. Results indicated that parental technoference is highly correlated with both parents' and children's executive functions. Furthermore, parental technoference influences children's executive functions indirectly, with this effect being mediated by parents' executive functions.
