Email this article The Relationship between Parental Practices in Online Safety, Parental Mediation Styles, Parental Involvement and Mindful Parenting
Abstract
In the era of digital society, the problem of protecting children from the negative impact of the Internet is an important area of scientific research. Effective protection of juveniles from online dangers requires specific parenting competencies. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between Parental Practices in Online Safety, Parental Mediation, Parental Involvement and Mindful Parenting. A total sample of N = 38 people was surveyed. Respondents completed the proprietary Parental Practices in Online Safety (BPRO) tool, as well as the Parental Involvement Questionnaire and the Mindfulness in Parenting Scale. Analyses showed that Mindful Parenting was associated with all Parental Mediation Styles. In contrast, Parental Involvement was found to be significantly associated only with Active Mediation. The study makes an important contribution to the knowledge of the mediating role of the parent in children’s online safety, with a particular focus on Mindful Parenting, which is a key factor in protecting against risks and supporting children’s developmental use of the Internet. The spread of mindfulness in families and the increase in awareness of the mediating role of the parent is a promising direction for cybersecurity research and prevention.
