Balancing opportunities and risks in teenagers’ use of the internet: the role of online skills and internet self-efficacy (2010, background): “…there is evidence that those from higher SES homes not only have better internet access, but also that they take up a greater range of opportunities online (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2005; Livingstone and Helsper, 2007b), not least because these same children are more likely to use the internet.”
CHILDREN AND ONLINE RISK (2009, background): “Those with lower selfesteem or life satisfaction, and possibly those with poorer relations with their parents, also encounter more online risks (Livingstone & Helsper 2007).”
Taking risky opportunities in youthful content creation: teenagers' use of social networking sites for intimacy, privacy and self-expression (2008, background): “…online content, contact and conduct, suggesting that what for an adult observer may seem risky, is for a teenager often precisely the opportunity that they seek (Livingstone and Helsper, 2007); this complicates straightforward policy attempts to maximize the former while minimizing the latter.”
Parental Mediation of Children's Internet Use (2008, background): “Liau et al. note the relations among risky behaviors (e.g., those who give out personal information online are also more likely to meet online friends offline; Livingstone & Helsper, 2007), suggesting that successful interventions for one kind of behavior, once identified, may have wider benefits.”
What Makes a Bully a Cyberbully? Unravelling the Characteristics of Cyberbullies across Twenty-Five European Countries (2013, background): “…anonymity that online communication can provide, for example, has also been associated with the disclosure of personal information and seeking of advice that might not have been attempted elsewhere, particularly by those who feel less confident in the offline world (Livingstone & Helsper, 2007).”
