Exploring the Impact of Perceived Parental Oversight on Problematic Smartphone Use Among Adolescents in the Digital Age: Database Analysis
This study highlights the significance of developmentally suitable parental strategies to mitigate digital addiction and enhance teenage self-regulation. We urge policymakers to implement age-specific, evidence-based methods to improve digital literacy and overall well-being in youth. Future research should investigate the enduring psychological and behavioral impacts of parental mediation and analyze cross-cultural differences in digital parenting methodologies.
