This study aimed to examine the relationship between adolescents’ smartphone use time and parents' restrictive mediation in smartphone use time and how this relationship differs according to parents' smartphone usage time and adolescents’ grade. Wave 3(2016) data collected in 2016 from the Seoul Panel Study of Education, Health and Welfare(SPSEHW) was used. The data collected from 630 matched pairs of mother and their children was analyzed, using the SPSS “PROCESS” Macro of Hayes (2013). The gender of adolescent and mother's working status were controlled in all analyses. Parent's smartphone use time moderated the relationship between parents' involvement of smartphone usage time and the smartphone usage time of adolescents. This effect further varied by grade. For early adolescents (elementary 6), the greater the parents’ time limit, the lesser the adolescents’ smartphone usage time regardless of the parents’ smartphone use time. However, for middle adolescents (middle 3), the relationship between parental limit and adolescent smartphone use time was more pronounced only when parents spent less time on smartphones. The results of this study revealed that parents are the main actors who influence the smartphone usage time of adolescents. Findings suggest that parents have greater impact on the lives of adolescents when parenting is consistent with parents’ actual behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize that parents and adolescents set rules for smartphone use together, and the importance of modeling in everyday life by parents for their adolescent children.
