The role of family communication patterns and self-control on dependence on social networks in adolescents
The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the predictive role of family communication patterns and self-control with dependence on social networks in adolescents. The method of this study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study included all female students aged 15-17 years studying in second-grade public high schools in Abyek City in the academic year 2021-20211. Using a non-random sampling method, 258 people were selected and they were evaluated via virtual networks using the Internet addiction test (IAT) (Yang,1998), the revised family communication pattern (RFCP) (Ritchie, 1972), and the self-control scale (SCS) (Tangney et al., 2004). The results of the Pearson correlation test revealed a significant positive relationship (P<0.01) between the communication pattern of conversation and dependence on social networks, and a significant negative relationship (P<0.05) between the communication pattern of conformity and dependence on social networks. But there is no significant relationship between self-control and dependence on social networks. In fact, 19% of the variance of dependence on social networks can be predicted based on family interaction patterns (dialogue, conformity), and the self-control of teenagers. Paying attention to the findings, in order to reduce or prevent dependence on social networks in teenagers, special programs can be developed to improve family interaction patterns.
