MAIDEL, Simone e VIEIRA, Mauro Luis. Parental mediation of internet use by children. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.2, pp. 293-313. ISSN 1677-1168. http://dx.doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9523.2015V21N2P292.
We investigated if the main beliefs of parents are related to the type of parental mediation used to guide the use of Internet by children. A questionnaire was applied to 50 parents of both sexes and at least one child aged 7-12 years. The results indicate that respondents, on average 28 years old (± 8.58), resort to a mixed type of mediation, characterized by the stipulation of rules for the children's use and the supervision, discussion and monitoring of activities of the child on the Internet, although they prefer using active mediation and co-using. It was found that beliefs do not seem to affect the type of mediation used. This result needs to be relativized, since the sample size is limited and scales used have not been validated, but points to the need for further studies on the subject
