Recent studies of receiving pay special attention to the influences exerted by various actors in mediating the relationships that children establish with the media. The aim of this article is to identify styles of parental mediation in the use of Internet at home by the children. From a survey of parents of children between 11 and 15 years in the region of Madrid, it has been applied, first, a factorial analysis in order to simplify variables, and second, a cluster analysis to obtain a household typology composed by concerned— absent families, concerned guiding, permissive carefree and carefree controlling. This research exposes the need to promote media education of parents in order to exercise an adequate mediation.Downloads
