Resumen
Age and family control influences on television viewing were examined for a sample of 162 individually interviewed children, ages five to twelve. Two‐way ANOVA and MCA found: (1) no differences for viewing levels; (2) cartoon and children's program preferences, television affinity, and realism related negatively to age; (3) adventure! drama and comedy preferences related positively to age; (4) cartoon preferences related negatively to family control for the two youngest groups; and (5) comedy and children's program preferences and television realism related positively to family control for the youngest group. Results reflect age and family relationship patterns in and between preoperational and concrete operational stages of development.
