这项研究试图描述花在教育活动和花在其他活动（如看电视或玩电子游戏）上的时间之间的权衡。利用具有全国代表性的纵向数据集，我们发现了在电视/电子游戏上花费的时间与在学习上花费的时间之间存在负因果关系的有力证据。然而，由于效应大小几乎可以忽略不计，花费在学习上的时间似乎对这些替代活动不敏感。更重要的是，即使在控制了孩子的就业状况和家庭结构之后，父母对孩子学习的投入也会对孩子的学业产生很大的影响。这表明，与改变孩子学习环境的干预相比，父母和孩子之间的直接相互作用可能是决定学习时间的更重要因素。
This study attempts to characterize the trade-off between time spent on educational activities and that spent on alternative activities such as watching television or playing video games. Utilizing a nationally representative longitudinal dataset, robust evidence was found for a negative causal relationship between time spent on television/video games and that spent studying. However, because the effect size is nearly negligible, the time spent studying appears to be insensitive to these alternative activities. More importantly, this is greatly affected by the parental commitment to a child's study, even after controlling for their employment status and family structure. This suggests that, as compared to intervention to alter a child's learning environment, the direct interplay between parents and children may be a more important determinant of time spent studying.
