Compliance with Ethical Standards
:
: J.N. writes Techno Sapiens, a psychology newsletter for which she receives subscription and sponsor payments. She is co-owner of Tech Without Stress, LLC, which provides free and paid resources for parents raising children in the digital age. The authors report no other conflicts of interest.
: All data collection procedures were approved by Advarra, the Character Lab Research Network’s external IRB (PRO00028576). All secondary data analyses were approved by the University of Delaware IRB: 1642559-1. All authors complied with ethical standards for conducting research with human subjects.
: Parental consent is not collected per CLRN data collection procedures because: 1) CLRN has been designated a School Official under FERPA and formalized through written legal agreements; 2) access to students’ parents cannot be gained in a reasonable manner; 3) the study poses no more than minimal risk; and 4) all topics protected under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment are prohibited. CLRN provides an informational parent letter for schools to share with parents. Adolescent participants provide assent prior to participation. During the assent process, participants are informed that they can withdraw from the study at any time for any reason.
