We examine the role of the desire for being liked in relation to the other Big Five personality traits and digital factors such as digital protecting from risks and digital sharing. In addition, the mediating effects of the digital factors in the relationship between personality traits and the desire for being liked remain to be studied in depth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>By applying a quantitative correlational design, the current study used a sample of 454 parents of preschool-aged children who were recruited via convenience sampling.

Our findings suggest that self-control negatively predicts the desire for being liked both directly and indirectly through protecting from risks and sharing. This shows the important need to also target the motive of social approval in digital parenting interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1923963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]],"date-time":"2026-09-14T05:40:24Z","timestamp":1789364424000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The serial mediating roles of protecting from risks and digital sharing in the relationship between self-control and the desire for being liked"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"\u0130dris","family":"Kara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Development, Vocational School of Social Sciences, Siirt University","place":["Siirt, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.24289\/ijsser.1220169","article-title":"Annelerin payla\u015fan ebeveynlik (sharenting) eylemlerini inceleyen \u00f6l\u00e7ek geli\u015ftirme \u00e7ali\u015fmasi","volume":"9","author":"Alemdar","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int.
