Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship and influence of parenting behaviors on digital media guidance methods among parents of young children who are first exposed to digital media. The results of the study are as follows. the correlation analysis results between parenting behaviors of parents with young children and parents' digital media guidance methods showed a significant correlation in all sub-factors of digital media guidance methods, except for the supervisory aspect of controlling media guidance methods. However, in the case of the sub-factor rules of the controlling media guidance method, a negative correlation was shown with the sub-factor responsiveness of parenting behaviors. Second, when examining the influence of parents' parenting behaviors on digital media guidance methods, boundary setting, rational guidance, and affection in that order had a positive influence on controlling media guidance methods, while responsiveness had a negative influence. On affectionate media guidance methods, boundary setting, affection, and rational guidance in that order had a positive influence. Through this study, it was possible to know the correlation between parenting behaviors of parents with young children and digital media guidance methods. It was predicted that when parents show appropriate boundary setting, rational guidance, and affectionate parenting behaviors for young children, correct controlling and affectionate media guidance methods will be implemented.
