The mediating role of maternal gatekeeping in the relationship between childrearing attitudes and digital parenting awareness among fathers of 6-yearold children

Within the scope of the research, the mediating role of father involvement in the relationship between mothers' child-rearing attitudes and digital parenting awareness was discussed. 386 parents with 6-year-old children participated in the study. A form consisting of four sections was used to collect research data. The first section includes demographic information, the second section includes the Parental Attitude Scale (PAS), the third section includes the Father Involvement Scale (FIS), and the fourth section includes the Digital Parenting Attitude Scale (DPAS). As a result of the research, a partial mediating role of father involvement in the relationship between explanatory authoritarian attitude and digital parenting awareness was determined. It is recommended that father involvement be studied with different variables in future studies.
