Abstract
AbstractIn this study, the concept of social media parenting (SMP) was defined and a scale was developed to measure parents’ perceptions of SMP. Although SMP is referred to as “sharenting” in the literature, given that it has a much broader definition, an attempt was made to define it as a new concept that includes the concept of sharenting. The SMP scale is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 28 items that can be grouped under six factors. The study group consisted of 430 parents from different provinces of Türkiye who volunteered to participate in the study. To ensure the scale’s validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, item discrimination analyses, purpose levels, internal consistency levels, and stability analyses were conducted for reliability. It was concluded that the scale obtained from this research is a valid and reliable scale for measuring parents’ perceptions of SMP.
