第三人效果與父母介入子女電視收視行為

The Third-Person Effect and Parental Mediation of Children's Television Viewing

本研究的主要研究問題在探討父母認知電視負面影響是否出現第三人效果現象？若父母對電視負面影響子女與其他兒童的情形產生認知差異時，又會和何種介入子女電視收視行為的類型有關？本研究以台南市公立國小五、六年級普通班學生之父母為研究對象進行調查。研究結果證實父母在認知收看電視對兒童的負面影響上，存在有第三人效果現象。研究結果也發現第三人效果認知愈強的父母，愈傾向以「評價型」以及「無目的型」的方式介入子女的電視收視行為。

The present study aimed to examine the third-person effect and parental mediation of children's television viewing. The data was collected by asking the parents of the fifth and sixth graders of Tainan City Elementary schools to fill in a survey. The hypotheses were proposed to test the relationships between the third-person perception on the antisocial effects of television and the parental mediation of their children's television viewing. The results indicated that the third-person effect is able to predict the evaluation type and the unfocused type, but not the restrictive mediation. In addition, theoretical and methodological implications for future research are also discussed in this study.
