You Do You[Tube]!The multifaceted roles of online video viewing in the lives of U.S. children
Guided by uses and gratifications theory, the current project invited parents (N = 358) to submit YouTube videos (N = 973) recently viewed by their children aged 0 to 8. Parents rated each video for its perceived impact on their child, while coders evaluated each video for its content. Results indicated that in-depth educational lessons were rare in these videos, and potentially harmful depictions were common (e.g., physical aggression). Despite these issues, parents reported that these videos often evoked children's joy, fostered social bonding, and allowed children to explore niche interests. Some patterns varied by age, such that older (vs. younger) children viewed fewer educational videos, and they experienced fewer emotional gratifications from viewing. However, older children also viewed more videos with peers, and parents reported that those experiences facilitated peer bonding. Collectively, these findings replicate some concerning patterns found in previous research while also hinting at positive aspects of YouTube exposure that are neglected in discourse about children's experiences online.
期刊介绍:
For over twenty years, Early Childhood Research Quarterly (ECRQ) has influenced the field of early childhood education and development through the publication of empirical research that meets the highest standards of scholarly and practical significance. ECRQ publishes predominantly empirical research (quantitative or qualitative methods) on issues of interest to early childhood development, theory, and educational practice (Birth through 8 years of age). The journal also occasionally publishes practitioner and/or policy perspectives, book reviews, and significant reviews of research. As an applied journal, we are interested in work that has social, policy, and educational relevance and implications and work that strengthens links between research and practice.
