Original Kurzfassung:
This research investigated the influence of parent?adolescent communication quality, as perceived by the
adolescents, on the relationship between adolescents? Internet use and verbal aggression. Adolescents
(N = 363, age range 10?16, MT1 = 12.84, SD = 1.93) were examined twice with a six-month delay. Controlling
for social support in general terms, moderated regression analyses showed that Internet-related
communication quality with parents determined whether Internet use is associated with an increase
or a decrease in adolescents? verbal aggression scores over time. A three way interaction indicated that
high Internet-related communication quality with peers can have disadvantageous effects if the communication
quality with parents is low. Implications on resources and risk factors related to the effects of
Internet use are discussed.
