New Zealand children’s experiences of online risks and their perceptions of harm (report) | 765.06 KB |
Children’s experiences of risks and harm caused through digital technologies is not only a matter of interest in policy and research but also a concern for whānau and parents, schools and kura. While there is growing body of New Zealand-based research on the topic, children’s own accounts of their experiences of risks and harm in the digital age based on representative data is still limited. To fill the gap, this research report presents findings from a quantitative study regarding different aspects related to risks and online safety. It looks at the online experiences that children find bothersome and upsetting and explores the hurtful behaviours they encounter or engage in, both online and in person. Evidence regarding exposure to different types of potentially harmful online content is also presented. Another relevant contribution is the insights related to excessive internet use.
