On September 9, 2015, Hart Research convened three focus groups in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, among parents whose children access the Internet. The groups were divided by age of child, with one group among parents of six- to nine-year-old children, one group among parents of 10- to 13-year-olds, and one group among parents of 14- to 17-year-olds.
From October 5 to 8, 2015, Hart Research conducted an online national survey of 589 parents of six- to 17-yearolds who access the Internet. To simplify survey administration, parents of multiple children in the age bracket were asked to answer questions about their child who had the most recent birthday.
This statistic presents the perceived impact of child's technology usage on selected areas of their life according to parents in the United States. During the October 2015 survey, ** percent of respondents felt that their child's technology usage had a positive impact on their child's ability to research and find information.
