Parents' responses to cyberbullying effects: How third-person perception influences support for legislation and parental mediation strategies

作者:

Highlights:

• Parental third-person perceptions were found in the context of cyberbullying.

• Parents perceive greater effects of cyberbullying on other children than their own.

• This perceptual gap is positively correlated with parental mediation.

• However, it is negatively correlated with support for cyberbullying laws.

• These third-person effects are stronger for parents of younger children.
