Adopting an approach, which is child-centred, comparative, critical and contextual, EU Kids Online II aimed to design, conduct and analyse a major quantitative survey of children's experiences of online risk. The survey encompassed questions about children's internet use, digital literacy, coping responses, perceptions and safety practices. These findings were systematically compared to the perceptions and practices of their parents.
This was the second project undertaken by the EU Kids Online network comprising some 70 experts in the social uses of the internet and new media, media education and digital literacy, childhood and family studies, the psychology of adolescence and identity, legal and regulatory perspectives, and research methods. The project's aim was to enhance knowledge about children's and parents' experiences and practices regarding risky and safer use of the Internet and new online technologies in Russia and other countries.
Our research was conducted using the survey designed within the EU Kids Online II. The questions have covered various pressing topics such as children's and parents' internet activity and digital competence, their awareness about online risks and their coping strategies, as well as their personal experience in using the internet safely.
The questionnaire was translated and culturally adapted and validated by the team of Foundation for Internet Development and the Department of Psychology of Lomonosov Moscow State University.
