Abstract:

In this study parents as well as their children (N = 224) were surveyed about children’s television viewing behavior and television guidance provided by parents. It was investigated whether parents know how much time their child spends television viewing and which programs the child watches. Consistently, children’s viewing time was estimated lower by parents than by the children themselves. Parents showed to have knowledge of about half of the programs the child watches at home. About parental television guidance fathers as well as mothers reported to provide television guidance more frequently than children reported to receive. Parents’ tendency to report a greater incidence of television guidance than their children applied to all three measured types of guidance: restrictive guidance, instructive guidance, and social coviewing. Mothers, fathers as well as children reported that social coviewing was practiced most often and restrictive guidance the least.
