Abstract

With the explosive growth in time spent on YouTube by babies and toddlers, it’s important to analyze what they’re watching on YouTube . Indexes that evaluate the contents of YouTube channels for infants and toddlers have been developed, but since those were evaluation-based indexes of educators and parents, it is difficult to find out what content children are watching. In this study, the YouTube content that infants mainly watch were content analyzed in three developmental areas: cognition, emotion, and socialization. Specifically, language destruction was analyzed for the cognitive field, verbal and physical violence for the emotional field, and emotional expression, understanding others’ emotions, emotional control, antisocial and prosocial behavior representation, and prosocial expression were analyzed for the socialization. As a result, the emotional index was the highest, and the physical violence index was very low. In general, emotional expression, understanding of other’s emotions, and prosocial behavior, which had a positive effect on early childhood development, were higher than linguistic destruction, verbal violence, and physical violence, which had a negative effect.

流行儿童 YouTube 中的认知、情感和社交发展内容分析

随着婴幼儿在 YouTube 上花费时间的爆炸性增长，分析他们在 YouTube 上观看的内容就显得尤为重要。目前已经开发出了评估婴幼儿 YouTube 频道内容的指标，但由于这些指标都是基于教育工作者和家长的评估，因此很难了解儿童正在观看哪些内容。本研究从认知、情感和社会化三个发展领域对婴幼儿主要观看的 YouTube 内容进行了内容分析。具体来说，认知领域分析了语言破坏，情感领域分析了语言和肢体暴力，社会化领域分析了情绪表达、理解他人情绪、情绪控制、反社会和亲社会行为表现以及亲社会表达。结果，情感指数最高，身体暴力指数很低。总体而言，对幼儿发展有积极影响的情绪表达、对他人情绪的理解和亲社会行为高于有消极影响的语言破坏、语言暴力和身体暴力。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
