最近的政策建议鼓励父母与年幼的孩子共同使用媒体技术。然而，我们对哪些因素预测父母在家庭拥有的多种类型的媒体技术中的共同使用知之甚少。这项研究使用了美国全国代表性的2,326名8岁及以下儿童的父母样本，研究了与六种类型媒体的亲子共同使用相关的因素：书籍，电视，电脑，视频游戏，平板电脑和智能手机。结果表明，父母更有可能共同使用传统媒体，如书籍和电视，而他们最不可能共同使用视频游戏。结果还表明，媒体共同使用可能是父母的可用性和父母的时间与媒体，以及父母的人口统计学，如父母的年龄，性别，种族和教育水平，和儿童的人口统计学，如儿童年龄和性别的函数。研究结果对创造更有针对性的父母干预措施，以鼓励媒体的共同使用的影响。
Recent policy recommendations encourage parents to co-use media technology with their young children. However, we know little about what factors predict parents' co-use across the multiple types of media technology families own. Using a US nationally representative sample of 2,326 parents of children aged 8 and under, this study examines factors associated with parent-child co-use across six types of media: books, TV, computers, video games, tablets, and smartphones. Results indicate that parents are more likely to co-use traditional media such as books and television, whereas they are least likely to co-use video games. Results also suggest that media co-use may be a function of parental availability and parents' time spent with media, as well as parent demographics such as parents' age, gender, ethnicity, and level of education, and child demographics such as child age and gender. Results have implications for creating more targeted parental interventions to encourage media co-use.
