DEVI SUSANTI GINTING, Tarmidi Dadeh, Fasti Rola

Abstract


Adolescents are a population vulnerable to various behavioral changes, including the tendency to engage in excessive smartphone use. Problematic smartphone use among adolescents is influenced by multiple factors, one of which is parental parenting style as the closest caregiving environment. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of parenting style on problematic smartphone use among adolescents. The subjects in this research were 245 students at the secondary school level. The study employed a parenting style scale and a problematic smartphone use scale as measurement instruments. The collected data were analyzed using simple regression analysis. The results indicate a significant effect of parenting style on problematic smartphone use among adolescents. This study provides insight that efforts to prevent problematic smartphone use among adolescents can be supported by enhancing more adaptive and supportive parenting practices.
