Digital Parental Mediation Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

cyberpsychology
upbringing

This brief self-report measure assesses how caregivers shape and manage a child’s digital and online experiences. The Digital Parental Mediation Questionnaire is designed to capture common approaches to parental involvement in children’s internet and device use.

Items query strategies such as active guidance (e.g., discussion of safety and responsible use), monitoring, and the use of technical restrictions. The instrument includes 7 items and takes about 2 minutes to complete.

The Digital Parental Mediation Questionnaire may be used in clinical, school, or research settings to characterize patterns of parental mediation and to inform conversations about family expectations, digital boundaries, and areas where additional support may be indicated. It is attributed to Ellen J. Helsper.
