Abstract

Introduction: Previous studies have shown the determining role of parenting practices on problematic Internet use (PIU), but it is unknown which specific family variables are associated with UPI in clinical samples. In addition, there is often little concordance through intraclass correlation between the perception of parents and children on the variables of family rearing and Internet use. For this reason, the objectives of this study are to analyze the relationship between UPI and parental practices in a clinical sample, controlling for behavior problems and adolescents› personality, and to examine the concordance between the perceptions of parents and children. Method: Data was collected from a sample of 92 adolescents in two mental health centers for children and adolescents. Results: The results indicate that inconsistent discipline practices and low parental involvement are predictors of UPI. In addition, the concordance between parents and children is moderate-to-low both in parenting practices and in the UPI. Discussion: This study makes it possible to determine the importance of parenting practices in the UPI of adolescents who attend mental health care; additionally, the need for an exhaustive evaluation beyond self-reports is detected, given the low concor- dance between parents and children.
