De invloed van communicatiepatronen in het gezin op mediagebruik: een onderzoek bij 10- en 11-jarigen

---

Abstract

This article examens which kinds of parental guidance accompany children's media use. Three patterns, which previous research identified, influence not only tv viewing, but also the reading of books and comic books and computer game play. Gender proved to be an important variable both at the level of children and of parents. Differences in guidance behaviour exist between fathers and mothers and effects differ for boys and girls. Use of one medium does not automatically lead to a reduction in the use of another medium, but parental restriction of use may lead to an increase in the use of another medium. This study only found evidence of an effect of guidance of media use on the media consumption of girls, even though boys and girls reported similar levels of perceived parental guidance. The respondents were 519 10 and 11 year old Flemish schoolchildren.
