Study links parental favouritism to internet addiction in Chinese teens
Original: Perceived parental differential treatment and internet addiction among Chinese adolescents: the mediating role of self-esteem and the moderating role of fairness perception
A new study in Frontiers examines how perceived parental differential treatment relates to internet addiction among Chinese adolescents. Researchers report that self-esteem mediates the relationship, while adolescents' perception of fairness moderates it. Teens who feel less fairly treated show lower self-esteem and greater risk of problematic internet use, suggesting family dynamics and fairness perceptions matter for prevention.
Why now: Freshly published research on adolescent internet addiction, a growing concern among parents and educators
