Abstract: (44 Views)
Introduction: Internet gaming disorder is a serious concern in adolescent mental health, and identifying the involved mechanisms can be helpful for prevention. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of self-control in the relationship between perceived parenting styles and Internet gaming disorder in adolescents.
Methods: This descriptive-correlational study included 200 adolescents aged 12 to 18 residing in Tehran in 2024, selected through convenience sampling. The adolescents completed standardized questionnaires on perceived parenting styles, Internet gaming disorder, and the short form of the self-control questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and path analysis. SPSS version 28 was used for data analysis.
Results: The findings showed a significant negative relationship between permissive (r=-0/21) and authoritarian (r=-0/38) parenting styles with self-control (p<0/001). Furthermore, there was a significant positive relationship between permissive (r=0/27) and authoritarian (r=0/41) parenting styles and Internet gaming disorder (p< 0/001). Additionally, Internet gaming disorder (r=-0/35) was negatively associated with self-control (p<0/001), and it was determined that self-control capacity plays a mediating role in the relationship between perceived parenting styles and internet gaming disorder (p<0/001).
Conclusion: The results supported the mediating role of self-control in the relationship between parenting styles and Internet gaming disorder, indicating that modifying parenting approaches and strengthening children's self-control skills can be effective in preventing this disorder during adolescence.
