The Relationship Between Mothers’ Sharenting Behaviors and Their Opinions on Their Children’s Social Media Use
Abstract
Sharenting is a recent concept and more research is needed for its outcomes. In addition, as a result of the widespread use of social media, it is also necessary to explore the opinions of mothers who engage in sharenting behaviors about their children's social media use. In this context, the study was conducted online throughout Türkiye with the participation of 410 mothers of children aged 36-72 months using a survey research model and convenience sampling. As a result of the study, it was seen that there was a significant relationship between the scores of the sharenting behaviors scale and the scores of the parents’ opinions on children's social media use scale. The study also found that the scores obtained from the sharenting behaviors scale were a significant predictor of the scores of the parents’ opinions on children's social media use scale, and there was a significant difference in terms of child's age, mother's age and mother's daily social media use variables.References
