|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of parental media use, parents¡¯ educational needs regarding media use, and parents¡¯ media guidance for children on the children¡¯s media use.
Methods: The participants were 161 parents of elementary school children in the 1st and 4th grades. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires, and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 19.0 IBM program.
Results: The average times for watching television and using the internet in the children were 11.44 hours and 5.89 hours per week, respectively. Children¡¯s time watching television was influenced by parents¡¯ time watching television, children¡¯s gender (girl), and parents¡¯ educational needs. Children¡¯s television dependency was influenced by parents¡¯ educational needs, parents¡¯ time watching television, and parents¡¯ age (under 36 years). Time using the internet and internet dependency in the children were influenced by parents¡¯ educational needs, family monthly income (under 3 million won), and parents¡¯ guidance for children on watching television.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that elementary school children¡¯s media use is influenced by parental media use, parents¡¯ educational needs, and parents¡¯ media guidance for children. Therefore parental factors should be considered in developing approaches to provide education programs to prevent media overuse in children.
