| Positive, negative, and ambivalent: Indian parents’ attitudes to and mediation methods of children’s digital media use By Sowparnika Pavan Kumar Attavar; Rani, Padma Cogent Social Sciences; Abingdon Vol. 11, Iss. 1, (Dec 2025). DOI:10.1080/23311886.2024.2446685 Abstract :Children’s digital media use in India, particularly in urban family settings, has sharply increased over the years. As children continue to use digital media unprecedentedly, it is essential to know how the environments within which children grow influence children’s digital media activities. In this ethnographic study, we explore whether parental opinions about digital media influence children’s access to and use of digital media and whether parental opinions determine their choice of mediation methods. The results from this study show that parents with positive opinions regarding digital media were liberal in their mediation methods, and those with negative opinions adopted restrictive mediation methods. The study also identified a third approach, which we call ambivalent mediation. Parents adopting this method had mixed opinions about digital media. They were unsure how they should mediate children’s digital media use. Their parental mediation methods were found to be constantly shifting between restrictive and permissive mediation and they failed to implement any one method correctly or consistently. These insights inform that Indian parents need adequate support to become equipped and prepared to manage their children’s digital media practices. This calls for more effective parental guidance programs and policies to promote healthy digital media habits in families. | |||
| Online information sharing: how secondhand information and credibility level influence the perceived validity of information. By Hundt, Greggory M.;Seta, John J. Journal of Social Psychology. 2026, Vol. 166 Issue 2, p236-249. 14p. Abstract :Two experiments examined online information sharing. Specifically, we explored a situation in which a proximate secondhand source repeated information of an obscure factual nature that was derived from an originating source with a discrepant or similar credibility level. Secondhand information did not always increase or decrease the perceived validity of information. Rather, the perceived validity of secondhand information depended on the relationship between the credibility level of the secondhand source and its originating source. We used a weighted averaging model as an overarching account of our results. We also discuss differences between information sharing and research findings in the attitude, rumor, and truth effect literatures as well as future research directions and implications for social media and online information sharing.
