Beliefs about child TV viewing in low-income Mexican American parents of preschoolers: Development of the Beliefs about Child TV Viewing scale (B-TV)

摘要

Objective:Parental beliefs about child television viewing may affect the way parents regulate child television viewing. Despite this, little research has focused on the development of measures of parental beliefs about child television viewing, particularly among ethnic minority parents and parents of young children. This study’s objective was to develop and test a culturally-based measure of parental beliefs about television viewing in low-income Mexican American mothers of preschoolers.
