AI simplified

Abstract

About 870 middle school students reported their experiences related to parental conflict and problematic Internet use.

  • Parental conflict is associated with adolescents' problematic Internet use (PIU).
  • Adolescent emotional dysregulation completely mediates the relationship between parental conflict and PIU.
  • Effortful control in adolescents moderates the link between parental conflict and PIU.
  • Lower levels of effortful control correspond to a stronger association between parental conflict and PIU.
