Children’s media socialisation, parental concerns, and mediation
styles have been studied mainly in the US and Europe. The present
research aims to extend media socialisation theory by investigating
children’s media behaviour and parental concerns and mediation
styles in Iran, and then to compare the findings with the research
based on parents in Western countries. Based on in-depth interviews
with parents from Iran, we put forth propositions and a media
socialisation model. We find that parental concerns and behaviour
are influenced by their cultural practices and expectations, government regulations, and media dominant in the local region
