The present study aims to investigate whether parents' digital competence, parents'
negative attitudes toward smartphones, and perceived parental efficacy of smartphones
predict problematic smartphone use in adolescents. An online survey provided
quantitative data from 102 participants. They were 63 mothers and 39 fathers were
involved in the study. Problematic smartphone use in adolescents was perceived by
parents, using the Problematic Media Use Measure. Parents’ digital competence was
measured using Digital Competence Instrument. Parents’ negative attitudes towards
smartphones and perceived parental efficacy were measured using the Parental
Perceptions of Technology Scale. All measurements were validated in the Indonesian
version. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings
showed that only perceived parental efficacy negatively predicted problematic
smartphone use in adolescents (B = -0.06, SE = 0.03, β = -0.24, p < 0.05). The findings
suggest that when attempting to implement parenting strategies to regulate children's
technology use, perceived parental efficacy may assist parents in better managing their
children to minimize problematic smartphone use compared to having a negative
attitude towards smartphones
