Background
- Sharenting, the practice of parents sharing children's information online, raises significant concerns regarding children's privacy and rights.
- Limited understanding of the factors driving parental sharenting necessitates further research.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore the impact of sharenting on children's privacy.
- To identify factors influencing parental decisions to share children's content on social media.
Main Methods
- A quasi-experimental cross-sectional study design was employed.
- Data were collected from 411 parents (372 females, 39 males).
- Statistical analyses included Chi-square tests and regression analysis to assess sharenting practices.
Main Results
- 67.2% of parents reported sharing their children's photographs on social media.
- Younger parental age, lower educational attainment, higher internet addiction, and increased social media usage duration were significantly associated with sharenting.
- Specific statistical associations: younger age (B = -0.06, p = .002), lower bachelor's degree level (B = 0.87, p < .001), higher internet addiction (B = 0.05, p < .001), and longer social media use (B = 0.17, p < .001).
Conclusions
- Sociodemographic factors, internet addiction, and duration of social media use significantly influence sharenting behaviors.
- Educating parents on responsible social media use and digital literacy is crucial for safeguarding children's online privacy.
