Parental mediation (PM) and parental phubbing (PP) are two pivotal factors that influence children's screen media use. This study used response surface analysis to examine the combined effect of PM and PP on screen time among preschool children. A total of 3,445 parents with preschool-aged children participated in this study, providing self-reported data on PM, PP, and their children's screen time (CST). The results revealed that CST decreased when parents enhanced their mediation behaviors and reduced phubbing behaviors in the cases of congruence between PM and PP. In instances of incongruence, reduced screen time was observed when parents exhibited lower frequency in mediating their CST and displayed fewer phubbing behaviors compared with situations where parents mediated their children more frequently but engaged in higher levels of phubbing behaviors. The findings suggest that PM play a significant role in mitigating preschool-aged children's excessive screen time. Moreover, it is critical to establish positive role modeling by reducing PP behaviors.

家长调解和家长低头如何影响学龄前儿童的屏幕媒体使用：响应面分析。


家长调解（PM）和家长低头（PP）是影响儿童屏幕媒体使用的两个关键因素。本研究使用响应面分析来检验 PM 和 PP 对学龄前儿童屏幕时间的综合影响。共有 3,445 名有学龄前儿童的家长参与了这项研究，提供了关于 PM、PP 和孩子的屏幕时间 (CST) 的自我报告数据。结果表明，在 PM 和 PP 一致的情况下，当父母增强调解行为并减少低头行为时，CST 下降。在不一致的情况下，与父母更频繁地调解孩子但低头行为水平较高的情况相比，当父母表现出较低的调解 CST 频率和较少的低头行为时，我们会观察到屏幕时间减少。研究结果表明，PM 在减少学龄前儿童过度看屏幕时间方面发挥着重要作用。此外，通过减少 PP 行为来建立积极的榜样至关重要。
