Conceptual understanding of screen media parenting: report of a working group
Screen media (television, computers, and videogames) use has been linked to multiple child outcomes, including obesity. Parents
can be an important influence on children’s screen use. There has been an increase in the number of instruments available to assess
parenting in feeding and physical activity contexts, however few measures are available to assess parenting practices regarding
children’s screen media use. A working group of screen media and parenting researchers convened at the preconference workshop to
the 2012 International Society for Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (ISBNPA) annual meeting, ‘‘Parenting Measurement:
Current Status and Consensus Reports,’’ to identify and prioritize issues in assessing screen media parenting practices. The group
identified that screen media use can pose different risks for children, depending on their age and developmental stage, across
physiologic, psychosocial, and development outcomes. With that in mind, a conceptual framework of how parents may influence
their child’s screen-viewing behaviors was proposed to include the screen media content, context of viewing, and amount viewed. A
research agenda was proposed to prioritize a validation of the framework and enhance the ability of researchers to best assess
parenting influences across the three domains of content, context and amount of children’s screen media use
