The Effects of Sibling Co-Viewing on Young Children's Learning of Television Content

Abstract

dc:description

The study reported here examined 42 first and second grade children's interpretations and evaluations of two different television programs after viewing with older siblings or by themselves. It was hypothesized that those children who viewed a complex, adult oriented program with a sibling at least 3 years older would interpret and evaluate the program better than those children who viewed with a sibling less than 3 years older or those who viewed alone.
