要了解电视对青少年的影响，重要的是要知道，他们认为it.This的背景下，本文报告的结果从经验抽样研究的100个城市，中产阶级的印度家庭，以阐明“使用的背景”，这组。母亲，父亲和八年级学生携带闹钟手表1周，并提供了13，674份关于他们的活动和主观状态的报告，这些报告是在醒着的时候随机发送的。看电视的时间占青少年总时间的10.9%（每周约12小时）。90%的观看发生在家里，其中73%是与其他家庭成员一起观看的，包括7%的祖父母，叔叔或阿姨。这表明，这些青少年看电视通常是一种家庭活动，发生在父母的监督和影响的背景下。青少年的收视率与母亲的收视率相关，当母亲失业时，两者的收视率都更高。青少年的电视率也与父亲的比率和父亲的就业类型相关。在看电视的过程中，青少年报告的挑战性、担忧和注意力低于平均水平，而选择性、平静和放松高于平均水平。总的来说，调查结果表明，印度中产阶级年轻人看电视通常是他们与家人分享的一天压力的放松解毒剂。
To understand the effects of TV on youth, it is important to know the context in which they view it. This paper reports findings from an Experience Sampling study of 100 urban, middle-class Indian families to elucidate the “context of use” for this group. Mothers, fathers, and 8th graders carried alarm watches for 1 week and provided 13,674 reports on their activities and subjective states at random times across waking hours when signalled. TV viewing occupied 10.9% of these adolescents' time (about 12 h per week). Ninety percent of this viewing occurred at home, with majority of it, 73%, done with other family members, including 7% with grandparents, uncles, or aunts. This indicates that TV viewing for these youth is typically a family activity, occurring in a context in which parents' supervision and influence is likely. Adolescents' rates of viewing were correlated with mothers' rates of viewing, with rates for both higher when mothers were unemployed. Adolescents' TV rates were also correlated with fathers' rates and with fathers' type of employment. During TV viewing, adolescents reported lower than average challenge, worry, and paying attention, and higher than average choice, calm, and relaxation. As a whole, the findings indicate that the TV viewing of middle-class Indian youth is typically a relaxed antidote to the stresses of the day that they share with their families.
