This research aims to measure the relationship between mother’s safety competency
and their risk perception of children’s privacy in ‘sharenting’ activities. Parents’ safety
competency may show their awareness toward data safety on what they share in the digital
world, in this context in Instagram, particularly for the content related to their children.
This research is explanative quantitative research, which tries to measure the relationship
between two variables. The subject will be the mothers in East Java, who use Instagram and
have posted content about children and or have opened an account under children’s name.
