作者：

Highlights：

• Adolescents' digital skills positively predict both online risks and opportunities.

• Active parental mediation has no influence on adolescent's digital skills.

• Restrictive mediation reduces digital skills, and as such reduces online risks too.

• Restrictive mediation lowers online opportunities by reducing digital skills.

• The Digital Literacy Scale is valid in terms of construct validity.
