Abstract

To examine the latent profiles of paternal and maternal parenting style and their association with internet addiction as well as the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies between them, this study surveyed 4091 middle school students in Chongqing, China. All the participants completed the related questionnaires, including the Parenting Style Questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Strategy Questionnaire, and the Internet Addiction Questionnaire. The results showed that: 1) There were three profiles of paternal parenting style as well as maternal parenting style, including positive, mixed, and negative profiles respectively. 2) Compared with the mixed parenting style, the positive parenting style significantly and negatively predicted internet addiction. 3) Adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies played as a mediator between positive parenting style and internet addiction when the mixed parenting style was regarded as a reference group. Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediated the relationship between negative parenting style and internet addiction when the mixed parenting style was regarded as a reference group.
