Abstract
This study examined the relationship between parental attitudes toward the Internet, use of restrictive or non-restrictive guidance approaches, and family communication patterns. A total of 354 Chinese parents in Hong Kong were surveyed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) determined that parents’ demographic factors and family communication patterns exert the greatest influence on attitudes and guiding behaviors. Parental computer and Internet literacy also held a pivotal mediating role.
