This study aimed at examining the impact of parental mediation on preschool children's cognitive capabilities in processing TV commercials. By non-random sampling, 219 students with their parents from 11 kindergartens in Taipei City were surveyed in April, 2008. The results showed that: (1) Children with different ages had demonstrated different capabilities in processing TV commercials. However, children's sex and the amount of TV viewing were not significantly correlated with children's cognitive capabilities. (2) The extent of parental mediation was positively and significantly correlated with children's capabilities in recognizing commercial intentions. (3) Three types of parental mediation showed similar patterns of impact on children's cognitive capabilities. |
