Structural Modeling of Dependence on Social Networks in Students with the Lack of Involvement of Parents According to the Mediating Role of Resilience

The present study aimed to provide the structural modeling of students' dependence on social networks without parents' involvement according to the mediating role of resilience. The research was correlational in terms of the type of design and had a structural equation method, and its statistical population consisted of all female (1145) and male (1249) adolescents in Zarrin Shahr in the academic year of 2021-2022. Using the convenience sampling method, 200 students were selected and asked to answer the questionnaire about dependence on social networks by Haghayegh, Kajbaf, Nikbakht, et al. (2016), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RIS) (2003), and the parents' educational involvement questionnaire by Grolnick et al. (2000). Research data were analyzed using AMOS software and structural equation modeling (SEM). The tested models were confirmed in resilience, involvement at school, home, and cognitive and personal components. Furthermore, there were significant negative relationships between all dimensions of educational involvement and dependence on social networks. Based on the above-mentioned findings, adolescents belonging to families with less educational involvement were more exposed to being dependent on social networks, and resilience, as a learned skill that was affected by familial factors and could also affect them, could decrease or increase this vulnerability.
