Abstract

Objective To explore the association between parenting style and entertainment screen time in pre-adolescence children and adolescents aged 10 - 15,in order to provide reference for individualized guidance for entertainment screen time. Methods The Chinese Family Panel Studies(CFPS) database was utilized to include 1 905 children and adolescents aged 10 - 15 with complete data on their parenting styles and weekly entertainment screen time in 2020. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between parenting style and weekly entertainment screen time. Results After adjusting for children's age, sex, region, urban/rural, parental education level, parental depressive symptoms, andfamily average monthly income, it was found that children and adolescents who received authoritative parenting had a 36.7% reduced risk of excessive weekly entertainment screen time(>14 hours per week) compared to those who received non-authoritative parenting(OR=0.633, 95%CI: 0.405 - 0.991, P=0.046). This association persisted across various subgroups, including sex, urban/rural, region, parental education level, and depressive symptoms(P_for_interaction>0.05). Conclusions Authoritative parenting is associated with lower levels of entertainment screen time in children and adolescents aged 10 - 15. This study provides a scientific basis for future personalized guidance on children and adolescents' entertainment screen time based on parenting styles.
