An important factor for investigating youth’s online safety, security, and privacy is to understand how and from where they learn their online behaviors and knowledge. Although research has shown that people within youths’ environments (e.g., parents) and the environments themselves (e.g., schools) are important influences, studying the interrelationships between youth and these influences presents many challenges for researchers. This paper describes the challenges inherent in this type of research through a study we conducted to examine parents’ involvement with their children’s password practices. We discuss challenges in data collection and statistical analysis, and lessons learned that may address these challenges in similar studies of youth.
