Abstract

Abstract. The amount of personal information shared online every day by youths without control has raised concerns about their vulnerability to privacy disclosure. Parental mediation strategies have been considered as important aspects that can contribute to the reduction of online-related risks. However, research on this field has shown puzzling results and there is not a consistent investigation of the specific role of parental mediation in youths’ online privacy management. Therefore, this systematic review was aimed at examining the evidence for associations between different parental mediation strategies and aspects of both privacy disclosure and protection. The search was conducted in December 2019 in the SCOPUS and Web of Science scientific databases and resulted in 17 studies that have been included in our review. Taken together, the results confirm that mediation practices can be considered as important variables for the reduction of information disclosure and for enhancing privacy protection. However, some specificities emerged. Restrictive forms of mediation showed clear negative associations with disclosing behaviors, whereas active strategies showed more contrasting results. Moreover, restrictive practices seemed to be less linked to attitudes and beliefs of privacy protection than active forms. More research is needed concerning the role of co-viewing strategies. Findings were discussed in terms of future research and intervention.

父母调解策略及其在青少年网络隐私披露与保护中的作用

摘要年轻人每天在网上分享的个人信息数量无法控制，这引发了人们对他们容易被泄露隐私的担忧。父母调解策略被认为是有助于减少网络相关风险的重要方面。然而，这一领域的研究显示出令人困惑的结果，并且对于父母调解在青少年网络隐私管理中的具体作用没有一致的调查。因此，本次系统审查旨在审查不同父母调解策略与隐私披露和保护方面之间的关联证据。该搜索于2019年12月在SCOPUS和Web of Science科学数据库中进行，共有17项研究被纳入我们的综述。总之，研究结果证实，调解实践可以被视为减少信息披露和加强隐私保护的重要变量。然而，出现了一些特殊性。限制性调解形式与披露行为表现出明显的负相关，而主动策略则表现出更具对比性的结果。此外，与积极形式相比，限制性做法似乎与隐私保护的态度和信念联系较少。需要对共同观看策略的作用进行更多的研究。从未来研究和干预的角度讨论了研究结果。
