Abstract

Previous research has found support for depression and anxiety associated with social networks. However, little research has explored parents’ depression and anxiety constructs as mediators that may account for children’s depression and anxiety. The purpose of this paper is to test the influence of different factors on children’s depression and anxiety, extending from parents’ anxiety and depression in Jordan. The authors recruited 857 parents to complete relevant web survey measures with constructs and items and a model based on different research models TAM and extended with trust, analyzed using SEM, CFA with SPSS and AMOS, and ML methods, using the triangulation method to validate the results and help predict future applications. The authors found support for the structural model whereby behavioral intention to use social media influences the parent’s anxiety and depression which correlate to their offspring’s anxiety and depression. Behavioral intention to use social media can be enticed by enjoyment, trust, ease of use, usefulness, and social influences. This study is unique in exploring rumination in the context of the relationship between parent–child anxiety and depression due to the use of social networks.
