Description
This study investigates digital parenting divides, or how parents’ strategies for regulating their children’s online activities differ based on their
available resources and digital parenting readiness (i.e., digital parenting self-efficacy, attitudes, and knowledge). We conducted a survey of 530
parents that reflected the composition of the U.S. population to explore how parents’ resources and digital parenting readiness predict their digi-
tal mediation strategies. The results indicate that parents’ economic, social, and cultural resources, as well as their digital parenting readiness,
play a significant role in how they approach digital mediation. Furthermore, digital parenting readiness has emerged as an underlying mechanism
explaining the relationship between parental resources and parental mediation strategies. The presence of digital parenting divides highlights the
need for tailored interventions to support parents in effectively using digital mediation strategies based on their family’s circumstances.
