ABSTRACT

Media sensory curation theory conceptualizes sensory regulation within the built environment as a gratification of electronic media use and predictor of parent-child conflict over children’s media use. This paper replicates an initial survey of caregivers of children ages 3 to 14 with an independent replication survey of N = 754. As in the original study, media sensory curation was higher among children with sensory diagnoses (e.g., autism, ADHD) than without and was a moderate to strong predictor of problematic child media use and adult-child media conflict for all children. The 48-item Adult and Child Media Sensory Curation Inventories (MediaSCIs) were subject to scale-reduction analyses using the pooled samples (N = 1543) to create short-form scales. The resulting Adult MediaSCI-SF and Child MediaSCI-SF (12 items each) showed good reliability. The Child MediaSCI-SF predicted problematic child media use and media conflict as robustly as the 48-item Child MediaSCI. The MediaSCI-SF scales are parsimonious options for measuring media sensory curation.

摘要

媒体感官策展理论将建筑环境中的感官调节概念化为对电子媒体使用的满足和对儿童媒体使用的亲子冲突的预测。本文复制了一项对 3 至 14 岁儿童的照顾者的初步调查，独立复制调查为N = 754。与原始研究一样，有感官诊断（例如自闭症、多动症）的儿童的媒体感官管理比没有和是对所有儿童有问题的儿童媒体使用和成人与儿童媒体冲突的中等至强预测因子。使用汇总样本 ( N ) 对 48 项成人和儿童媒体感官策展清单 (MediaSCIs) 进行规模缩减分析= 1543) 来创建简短的音阶。由此产生的成人 MediaSCI-SF 和儿童 MediaSCI-SF（各 12 项）显示出良好的可靠性。Child MediaSCI-SF 与 48 项 Child MediaSCI 一样有力地预测了有问题的儿童媒体使用和媒体冲突。MediaSCI-SF 量表是衡量媒体感官策展的简约选择。
