Overview

Logistic regression reveals psychological distress in parents linked to adolescent IGD, suggesting that family functioning may not protect against this distress.

Key Points

  • Adolescent internet gaming disorder significantly increases parental psychological distress.
  • Better family functioning is negatively associated with parental distress, yet doesn't moderate the IGD impact.
  • The analysis included 643 parent-adolescent dyads using validated scales for IGD and mental health.
  • Support for parental mental health is crucial, especially in the context of adolescent IGD difficulties.
