Abstract
AbstractMany parents attempt to limit adolescents' screen time without changing their own habits. We examined whether “whole‐family” versus “youth‐focused” restrictions differentially predict social media‐related difficulties (procrastination and problematic use), and whether adolescents' impulsive social media behaviors moderated these relationships. Among 183 Chinese early adolescents (58.5% female), whole‐family rules negatively predicted procrastination. Impulsivity moderated associations between rulemaking approaches and social media difficulties; youth‐focused rules negatively predicted procrastination and problematic use for highly impulsive adolescents, while whole‐family rules held no associations or predicted increased difficulties. For less impulsive adolescents, however, whole‐family rules negatively predicted social media difficulties and youth‐focused rules positively predicted problematic use. Results suggest that setting the implementation of screen rules should involve parental participation and consideration of individual differences.
