Abstract

Despite a wealth of research about unequal transitions to adulthood in the U.S., we know less about how classed daily life (or “habitus”) carries with individuals as they age and experience socioeconomic mobility. Taking weekly time spent watching television as a form of class habitus, this research traces the trajectories of television time from adolescence to adulthood using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 4,884). Using latent class growth analysis, I find four trajectories of TV time: Falling Watchers (8 %), Rising Watchers (2 %), Rise and Fall Watchers (3 %), and Steady Watchers (86 %). Findings both support and complicate previous understandings of habitus over time. Adolescent socioeconomic measures and socioeconomic mobility were associated with TV trajectory. While the majority of individuals maintained TV time across the life course, TV time habits could also change as individuals aged and these changes were more likely among those who have lower-class experiences.

媒体习惯的阶级轨迹：从青少年到成年的电视时间与社会经济地位

尽管对美国成年后的不平等过渡进行了大量研究，但我们对阶级化的日常生活（或称 "惯性"）如何随着个人年龄增长和社会经济流动而延续的了解较少。本研究将每周看电视的时间作为阶级习惯的一种形式，利用《全国青少年到成人健康纵向研究》（N = 4884）追踪青少年到成人时期看电视时间的轨迹。通过潜类增长分析，我发现了四种电视时间轨迹：下降的观看者（8%）、上升的观看者（2%）、上升和下降的观看者（3%）以及稳定的观看者（86%）。研究结果既支持了以往对习惯随时间变化的理解，也使之变得更加复杂。青少年的社会经济衡量标准和社会经济流动性与电视轨迹有关。虽然大多数人在整个生命过程中都保持着看电视的习惯，但随着年龄的增长，看电视的习惯也会发生变化，而这些变化更可能发生在那些拥有较低阶层经历的人身上。
