How media parenting shapes teen gaming. A longitudinal study of 7,407 adolescents found that parental screen modeling, mealtime screen use, and bedroom screen use were associated with higher odds of later mature-rated gaming, while parental monitoring and screen-time limits were linked to lower odds of mature-rated game play and less overall video game use one to two years later.
