This document discusses a research study about parental awareness of youth online behaviors and predicting resistance to protective strategies. The study used an internet survey of 456 parent-child pairs in the US to examine how supportive parents would be of various protective strategies and how children would feel about their parents using those strategies. The results showed that strategic efforts to protect kids are most likely to be met with resistance from older teens, boys, and when parent-child communication is poor. The best strategies to avoid this "reactance" are those that empower children and involve industry/government responsibility, while the worst strategies are highly restrictive controls like co-viewing, access to devices, and content blocks.
