Bibliometric Analysis of Global Trends in Parenting: Exploration of Digital Parenting, Emotion Regulation, and Parent Stress in The Era of Modern Technology

Abstract

This study analyzes global trends in parenting research using a bibliometric approach with tools such as VOSviewer. The results show that topics such as digital parenting, emotion regulation, and parental stress are key issues in the parenting literature. The United States dominates the publication contributions, while research in developing countries is still limited. Keyword network visualization identifies a strong relationship between digital parenting and emotional well-being, indicating the need for a cross-disciplinary approach to address the challenges of the technology era. This study suggests the need for cross-cultural collaboration to address the complex dynamics of parenting while providing practical recommendations to support adaptive parenting policies. Thus, this study offers theoretical contributions and practical guidance in supporting modern families.
