Adolescent Socialization via the Internet: An Exploration of the Social Cognitive and Contextual Correlates of Online Risk Behaviour
EF 2012-13
Résumé
Adolescents spend a large amount of time online socializing with friends and acquaintances. Indeed, communication technologies allow teenagers to be in near constant connection with their peers. However, with this connectedness comes an increased risk of being exposed to cyberbullying, as well as privacy concerns related to disclosure of personal information online. This longitudinal research intends to explore how parents and peers relationships may be influencing these more adverse aspects of online socializing. Ideally this research will help ensure that the Internet, which is now a ubiquitous aspect of daily life, is a safe space for all children and youth.
