第三人效果与父母介入子女电视收视行为

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

本研究的主要研究问题在探讨父母认知电视负面影响是否出现第三人效果现象？若父母对电视负面影响子女与其他儿童的情形产生认知差異时，又会和何种介入子女电视收视行为的類型有关？本研究以台南市公立国小五、六年级普通班学生之父母为研究对象进行调查。研究结果证实父母在认知收看电视对儿童的负面影响上，存在有第三人效果现象。研究结果也发现第三人效果认知愈强的父母，愈倾向以「评价型」以及「无目的型」的方式介入子女的电视收视行为。

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.
