The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between parental control and gender in some behaviors on Internet. The participants were 388 fourth-grade primary school students in the Republic of Croatia. The results indicated that children are more likely to perceive high level of parental control. The students who perceive a higher level of parental control spend more time in correspondence with friends and in search of interesting informations, more often find the motivation to access the Internet in finding school related informations and socializing, often publish content on social networks unlike students who perceive a lower level of parental control. When examining gender differences, it was found that boys more often say that they have an open Facebook profile, spend more time on the Internet on weekday and weekend, play games, publish posts and look for interesting information. In addition, the boys more often find the motivation for Internet access in ending boredom and the desire not to be different from others and more often they state they can not do without the Internet while girls are more likely to access the Internet in educational purposes. Also, the results indicated that the boys frequently post more diverse content on social networks and reveal personal information on Facebook. There are no gender differences in perceived level of parental control. These data can contribute to a better understanding of the role of parents in using the Internet in children.
