本研究旨在探討臺北市國中學生家長網路管教策略及其相關因素。自臺北市國民中學以等比率等機率抽樣方法抽出18所國中學生家長，以自填式結構調查問卷蒐集資料，有效問卷共計694份。研究結果顯示：一、家長年齡越輕、親子相處情形越好、電子郵件使用頻率越高、網路使用技術越好、網路使用信心越好、對子女網路使用越擔心，越會採取網路使用主動管教。二、家長家庭經濟狀況越好、網路使用技術越好、網路使用信心越好、對子女網路使用越擔心，越會採取網路安全主動管教。三、家長年齡越輕、親子相處情形越好、網路使用信心越好、對子女網路使用越擔心，越會採取網路使用監控手段。四、家長搜尋／下載資料的頻率越低、網路使用技術越好、對子女網路使用越擔心，越會採取網路使用技術性手段。五、家長社群網頁／即時通使用頻率越低、網路使用技術越好、對子女網路使用越不讚同，越會採取網路使用限制性手段。建議增能家長網路使用技術、網路使用信心與網路管教策略，與子女培養良好親子關係，了解子女網路使用行為，以預防網路風險並獲得網路學習的助益。

The purpose of this study was to explore parental mediation of children’s Internet use and to examine the related factors. Parents were randomly selected from 18 junior high schools in Taipei City. There were 694 parents who completed the selfadministered questionnarie. The main findings of this study were as follows. 1. Parents who were younger, with a good parent-child relationship, who frequently used e-mail, had higher Internet skills, greater confidence with Internet use, and were worried about children’s Internet use were more likely to implement active use mediation. 2. Parents with higher family socio-economic status, higher Internet skills, greater confidence with Internet use, and were worried about children’s Internet use were more likely to implement active safety mediation. 3. Parents who were younger, with a good parent-child relationship, who had a higher level of confidence with Internet use, and were worried about children’s Internet use were more likely to implement monitoring mediation. 4. Parents who less frequently searched or downloaded data, who had higher Internet skills, and were worried about children’s Internet use were more likely to implement technical mediation. 5. Parents who less frequently used social networking or instant messaging, with higher Internet skills and disapproval of children’s Internet use were more likely to implement restrictive mediation. In conclusion, a strengthening of parent’s Internet skills is suggested, in order to enhance parents’ Internet use confidence and parental mediation techniques. Parents should develop good relationships with their children and understand their online behaviors to prevent Internet risks and still receive the benefits of the Internet.
