Self-Regulation

However, probably the most troubling effect of external prohibition is that it leads people to not be able to self-regulate. In a series of studies of the effects of restrictive (prohibiting) parenting on later behaviour, it was found people with the most restrictive parents were the most focused on implementing subsequent prohibitions themselves. They also expressed more shame, and demonstrated the least self-regulatory ability when faced with an "immoral temptation" (all of which may give an insight into the parenting of politicians).

This bears relevance to social media, as those who use it most tend to display more attachment problems. In the context of cyberbullying, strong self-control reduces the likelihood of such behaviour being emitted, but having experienced authoritarian (restrictive) parenting reduces such self-control, and increases cyberbullying behaviour. It may be that placing external controls on behaviour leads to an inability to self-control and self-regulate, which may become especially problematic when the age of digital majority is reached. Certainly, temporary social media bans in Turkey have the impact of producing a rebound in usage, once removed.

All in all, it may be best to agree with some of the conclusions of a recent viewpoint paper that suggested controlling younger people’s social media use is a delicate matter, not best served by ineffective bans but rather by improving their emotional and self-regulation skills. Of course, we know that social media use, itself, reduces these self-regulatory abilities—making the whole issue very difficult and complex.
