The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Parental Self-Efficacy to Manage Child's Online Risk Behaviors Scale (PSEMCORBS). The study included 249 adolescents (122 adolescents with ADHD recruited from child psychiatry outpatient clinics in Taiwan and 127 adolescents without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD] recruited through online advertising; mean age [SD] = 13.77 [2.10] years) and their parents (N = 249, mean age [SD] = 47.14 [4.89] years). This study examined the PSEMCORBS's factor structure by using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), internal consistency by using McDonald's ω, concurrent validity by evaluating its correlations with adolescents' internet addiction severity, time spent on internet, and internalizing and externalizing problems, and known-group validity by comparing parental self-efficacy between parents of adolescents with and without online risk behaviors as well as between parents of adolescents with and without ADHD. The EFA results indicate that the 23-item PSEMCORBS has three factors, including monitoring, intervention, and parental reasoning. The overall PSEMCORBS and its three factors had excellent internal consistency (McDonald's ω: ranging from 0.922 to 0.958). The overall PSEMCORBS was significantly associated with children internet addiction severity, time spent on internet, child internalizing problem, and child externalizing problem (all p < 0.02). Parents of the children without online risk behaviors reported significantly higher scores on the entire PSEMCORBS and three factors than did those of the children with online risk behaviors (all p < 0.05). Parents of the children without ADHD reported significantly higher score than did those of the children with ADHD in the factor of parental reasoning (p < 0.05). The PSEMCORBS is considered a valuable and reliable tool in the study of parental self-efficacy to manage adolescents' online risk behaviors.

Background: Breastfeeding self-efficacy among both mothers and fathers is critical in enhancing exclusive breastfeeding rates. However, the interrelationship between maternal and paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and their determinants remains unknown.
Research Aims: We aimed to (a) investigate the relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy scores postpartum for mothers and fathers; (b) explore factors associated with breastfeeding self-efficacy in this group; and (c) examine determinants of combined self-efficacy scores among breastfeeding parents in Malawi.
Caregiver characteristics and behaviors: quantitative associations with child depression amongst refugees in Uganda.

For refugee children, there are a number of risk factors for poor mental health and psychosocial well-being, many of them exacerbated for those refugee children living in low-resource settings. There is some evidence that caregiver warmth, parenting self-efficacy and positive relationships between caregivers and children can act as protective factors against poor mental health outcomes for children and adolescents. This study sought to assess if caregiver-level factors (parental warmth and affection, positive child-caregiver interaction and parenting self-efficacy) are protective for symptoms of child depression.

Background: Empirical evidence supports the efficacy of behavioral online parent training. However, further large trials in school-age children with externalizing behavior problems and analyses on the impact of additional therapist support are needed. This three-arm randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of guided and unguided web-assisted self-help (WASH) for parents of children with externalizing behavior problems.

While prior studies provide valuable insights into the role of teacher talk and its impact on learning outcomes, there remains a need for further research on how contextual factors may interact with student perceptions to influence language learning. This study explores how students' perceptions of teacher talk influence their English language learning outcomes, focusing on the mediating roles of student enjoyment and emotional exhaustion, as well as the moderating role of self-efficacy. The research involved a cross-sectional survey with 357 university students, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).
