Abstract No studies have considered that parental mediation could be intrusive to adolescents' privacy and could lead to an increased risk of internet addiction. By integrating communication privacy management theory and parental monitoring research, this study examines the relationships among maternal mediation, adolescents' perceptions of privacy invasion, defensive responses to privacy invasion, and internet addiction. The participants were 678 13- to 16-year-old adolescents and their mothers who participated in the study for two consecutive years. Mothers reported their use of mediation strategies at Time 1; adolescents reported their perceptions of privacy invasion in terms of internet use and their defensive responses to privacy invasion at Time 2 and their internet addiction at Time 1 and Time 2. The results indicated that maternal restrictive mediation was associated with adolescents' perceptions of privacy invasion and that perceptions of privacy invasion were associated with defensive responses, which led to increased internet addiction. Adolescent females and males showed similar relationships. The findings emphasize the importance of parents' respect for adolescents' privacy boundaries and suggest that parents should adopt more communication-based mediation strategies to regulate adolescents' internet behaviors.

作为侵犯隐私行为的母体调解：与网络成瘾的关联

摘要 没有研究认为父母调解会侵犯青少年的隐私，并可能导致网络成瘾风险增加。本研究通过整合通信隐私管理理论和父母监控研究，考察了母亲调解、青少年对隐私侵犯的感知、对隐私侵犯的防御反应和网络成瘾之间的关系。参与者是连续两年参与研究的 678 名 13 至 16 岁青少年及其母亲。母亲在时间 1 报告了他们使用调解策略的情况；青少年报告了他们在互联网使用方面对隐私侵犯的看法，他们在时间 2 时对隐私侵犯的防御反应以及他们在时间 1 和时间 2 的网络成瘾。结果表明，母亲限制性调解与青少年对隐私侵犯的看法有关，而对隐私侵犯的看法与防御反应有关，从而导致网络成瘾增加。青春期女性和男性表现出相似的关系。研究结果强调了父母尊重青少年隐私边界的重要性，并建议父母应采取更多基于沟通的调解策略来规范青少年的互联网行为。
