This thesis aims to investigate the phenomenon of sharenting through a review of the scientific literature. The term sharenting refers to the practice whereby parents, grandparents, guardians or family members publicly share information, in particular written, visual, audio and audiovisual content and personal data relating to children, especially minors, in the online space. Specifically, the aim is to analyse how socio-demographic, family and psychosocial variables can act as possible predictors in the implementation of such practices, in order to promote greater critical awareness in online sharing processes. In order to make the analysis and discussion of the selected articles more fluid and comprehensive, the selected articles were classified and grouped into five categories: socio-demographic factors, intra-family factors, extra-family factors, Internet usage and frequency, and conscious sharing. The analysis and discussion of the results reveal the identification of some potential predictors of the phenomenon of Sharenting. These include: younger age of both children and parents; female gender of the subjects in question; less decision-making autonomy granted to children by their parents; reduced use of online activity mediation strategies by both; the presence of depressive symptoms in mothers; low parental emotional availability; the absence of shared rules regarding the management of digital content within the family system; the search for social support online, often resulting from a perceived lack of support in everyday relationships; the need for validation and recognition of one's parental role; the tendency to frequently share aspects of one's private life on social media and to make prolonged use of it; finally, the lack of consideration given to the importance of obtaining children's consent before publishing content about them. This work also aims to promote a more careful and conscious way of sharing among parents who choose to share content about their children on social media, while encouraging critical reflection on their digital exposure practices and the psychological and educational implications thereof.
Il presente lavoro di tesi si propone di indagare, tramite una revisione della letteratura scientifica, il fenomeno dello Sharenting. Con il termine Sharenting si fa riferimento alla pratica con cui genitori, nonni, tutori o familiari condividono pubblicamente informazioni, in particolare contenuti scritti, visivi, audio e audiovisivi e dati personali, relativi a bambini, in particolare minori, nello spazio online. Nello specifico, l'obiettivo è quello di analizzare in che modo variabili socio-demografiche, familiari e psicosociali possano fungere da possibili fattori predittivi nella messa in atto di tali pratiche, al fine di promuovere una maggiore consapevolezza critica nei processi di condivisione online. Al fine di rendere l’analisi e la discussione degli articoli selezionati più fluida ed esauriente è stata effettuata una classificazione degli articoli selezionati, raggruppandoli in cinque categorie: fattori sociodemografici, fattori intrafamiliari, fattori extrafamiliari, modalità e uso frequente di Internet, condivisione consapevole. Dall’analisi e discussione dei risultati emerge l’individuazione di alcuni potenziali fattori predittivi del fenomeno dello Sharenting. Tra questi si evidenziano: un età inferiore sia nei figli che nei genitori; l’appartenenza al genere femminile dei soggetti in questione; una minore attribuzione, da parte dei genitori, di autonomia decisionale ai figli; un ridotto impiego, da parte di entrambi, di strategie di mediazione dell’attività online, la presenza di sintomatologia depressiva nelle madri; una bassa disponibilità emotiva genitoriale; l’assenza di regole condivise riguardanti la gestione dei contenuti digitali all’interno del sistema familiare; la ricerca di supporto sociale online, spesso conseguente a una percepita carenza di sostegno nelle relazioni quotidiane; il bisogno di validazione e di riconoscimento del proprio ruolo genitoriale; la tendenza a condividere frequentemente aspetti della propria vita privata sui social media e a farne un uso prolungato; infine, la scarsa considerazione attribuita all’importanza di richiedere il consenso dei figli prima della pubblicazione di contenuti che li riguardano. Il presente lavoro intende inoltre promuovere, tra i genitori che scelgono di condividere contenuti riguardanti i propri figli sui social media, una modalità di condivisione più attenta e consapevole, favorendo al contempo una riflessione critica sulle proprie pratiche di esposizione digitale e sulle implicazioni psicologiche ed educative che ne derivano.
