Abstract
What role do school, family and peer group play
in the development of media competence with regard to
safe use of the Internet? The findings of this
study confirm the high importance of the family and
show how the relationships between the various socialization
socialization instances change over the course of
time. Finally, recommendations for media education are formulated.
