ABSTRACT Although the predictors of off-line relational aggression have been examined in prior work, less is known about the factors that contribute to online relational aggression perpetration and victimization. This study examined parental restrictive and active mediation of teenagers’ social media use as potential predictors of these outcomes. We were particularly interested in understanding whether parental agreement about media rules and the consistency with which mediation was implemented had implications for teens’ social media use, conflict with parents, and experience with online relational aggression. We conducted an online survey of 814 adolescents from the United States (14- to17-year-olds), asking about perceived agreement between parents about media rules, parental mediation styles, the teens’ social media use, and their experiences with online relational aggression. Results showed that parental rule agreement negatively predicted inconsistent parental mediation. Inconsistent parental mediation predicted more adolescent social media use and more parent-teen conflict over media rules, which in turn, predicted both online victimization and perpetration.

混杂的信息：父母调解不一致，间接预测青少年的在线关系攻击

摘要尽管在先前的工作中已经研究了离线关系攻击的预测因素，但对于影响在线关系攻击行为和受害的因素知之甚少。这项研究检查了父母对青少年社交媒体使用的限制性和积极中介作用，这些中介作用是这些结果的潜在预测指标。我们尤其对了解父母关于媒体规则的协议以及实施调解的一致性是否对青少年的社交媒体使用，与父母发生冲突以及在线关系攻击的经历有影响。我们对来自美国的814名青少年（14至17岁）进行了在线调查，询问父母之间关于媒体规则，父母调解方式，青少年社交媒体使用，以及他们在网络关系攻击方面的经验。结果表明，父母规则一致否定了父母调解不一致的情况。父母调解不一致，预示着青少年社交媒体的使用增加，父母与青少年之间对媒体规则的冲突也增加，这反过来又预示着在线受害和犯罪。
