Abstract:
The aim of this study was to analyze whether television viewing habits themselves contribute to defining the gender significance in a sample of 577 adolescents (270 boys and 307 girls) from the Basque Autonomous Region. Using responses to the CTV (Television Habits Questionnaire), the authors found several groups of people according to various indicators. Results indicate that television reproduces social gender stereotypes and may contribute to their perpetuation. Furthermore, the group most exposed to contents is the adolescent girls, in which an explicit lack of distinction between private and public life, and between more conventional and personal values can be found.En este trabajo se ha tratado de relacionar la dieta televisiva de los adolescentes, recogida a través de diferentes índices con sus valores personales y los valores percibidos en los programas de televisión que más les gustan. Con una muestra de 823 adolescentes del País Vasco, se han empleado instrumentos como un cuestionario de hábitos televisivos, para conocer su dieta y una escala de dominios de valores, para conocer sus valores personales y los valores percibidos en los programas de televisión que más les gustan. Los resultados indican que existen correlaciones entre algunos índices (permanencia, covisionado y preferencias por asistir a determinados programas) y algunos valores personales como poder, benevolencia y tradición. Estos datos, en la misma línea que otras investigaciones internacionales, no nos permiten concluir sobre una relación clara entre la dieta de los adolescentes y sus valores.

Abstract:
Background: Television (TV) viewing creates tremendous influence on daily life; hence concerns have been raised on viewers, especially in preschool age group children. An existing literature has documented significant correlation between TV viewing and various behavior related problems among the other age groups. This study attempted to assess TV viewing habits in preschool children.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out over a period of 2 years at the tertiary health care center and a total of 500 children between 2 to 5 years of age, visiting the center, were included. Pre-validated 32 item questionnaire was used to collect data regarding television viewing habits from parents/guardians. TV viewing >2 hours was considered as excessive as per American academy of pediatrics (AAP) recommendation. Data analysis was done in SPSS version 20 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and statistical differences were computed by ‘chi-square test’ and ‘paired t test’. Results: There was statistically significant association between TV viewing and subject’s behavior. ‘Becoming angry on switching off TV’ was the most protuberant behaviour; followed by ‘imitating TV characters’ among the subjects. In addition to these effects on food habits, sleep pattern and play activity were also noted with excessive TV viewing group.Conclusions: The current study reported a negative influence of TV viewing on behavior, sleep patterns, food habits and play activities of preschool age children. Parents should implement multipronged strategy like scheduling TV watching duration, limiting child’s total screen time, supervising and guiding child’s TV viewing activities to make better use of television for their children.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectiveSeveral environmental factors influence adolescents' food habits and television (TV) viewing is thought to be one of these factors. The purpose of the present study was to describe sociodemographic differences in TV viewing and to examine associations of TV viewing with the consumption of sweets, soft drinks, fruit and vegetables in different countries.MethodsData were collected from 162 305 young people completing the 2001/02 Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children survey, a World Health Organization cross-national study on health and health behaviours among 11–, 13– and 15–year-old school pupils. Analyses of variance were used to examine sociodemographic differences in TV viewing and logistic regression analyses to examine associations between TV viewing and food habits.ResultsLarge differences were found between countries in reported daily TV viewing time, from an average of 2.0 h in Switzerland to 3.7 h in Ukraine. The results indicate that those most likely to watch TV are boys, 13-year-olds and pupils of lower socio-economic status. Those who watched more TV were more likely to consume sweets and soft drinks on a daily basis and less likely to consume fruit and vegetables daily, although the latter associations were not so apparent among Central and Eastern European countries.ConclusionsGiven the high TV viewing rates among adolescents and the association with less healthy food options, many young people are at increased risk of overweight or obesity. Interventions to modify TV viewing behaviour are needed. The findings underscore the importance of tackling socio-economic differences.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines possible differences in media habits and tastes between Christians and non-Christians. The study utilizes data from singles Internet personal advertisements to determine whether or not Christians, especially those with high levels of religiosity or who may be part of the Christian Right, have different television viewing patterns. Three models were developed using multivariate data analysis and logistic regression to examine Christians' television viewing habits regarding reality shows, soap operas, and news. The first model looks at the viewing habits of Christians, the second model examines the viewing habits of Christians attending religious services at least monthly, and the third model analyzes the viewing habits of Christians attending religious services at least monthly and having conservative political views. No significant differences were found in viewing habits between Christians and non-Christians for any of the three models. Although the results of this study cannot be generalized to Christians as a whole, they suggest that Christians in this sample might have adopted secular practices with regard to their television viewing habits.

Abstract:
La brecha económica entre las zonas rurales y las zonas urbanas en China ha generado diferencias importantes desde hace años. Tradicionalmente, se ha considerado que los niños urbanos tienen más dispositivos y acceden a un mayor número de recursos. Sin embargo, la “era digital” ha provocado cambios en el consumo infantil de medios. Además, la urbanización de China provocó un fenómeno relacionado con los niños llamados “Rural Left-behind” (RLB). Se trata de niños cuyos padres se convirtieron en trabajadores migratorios, con niveles socio-culturales bajos y sin residencia registrada (‘Hukou`). Los hijos de estos trabajadores no pueden escolarizarse en las zonas urbanas y viven en los lugares de origen de la familia con otros parientes. Cabe indicar además que China es un país de minorías étnicas, siendo la principal la etnia Han entre otras 55 más. En relación a los canales de televisión, destacar que en China hay 38 canales de televisión para niños, pero sólo la señal de CCTV-14 puede cubrir todo el país. La tesis se centra en el estudio del consumo televisivo en la ciudad de Chongqing, que tiene su propio canal infantil de televisión, junto a otros cuatro canales infantiles. La singularidad de esta ciudad se encuentra en que en ella viven muchos niños RLB y los grupos étnicos principales son Tujia y Miao. La autora de la tesis explora las diferencias en los hábitos de consumo televisivo entre los niños urbanos y rurales, los niños de áreas rurales (OR) y RLB, y los niños de tres grupos étnicos (Han & Tujia, Tujia & Miao, y Miao & Han). Esta investigación se desarrolló en dos fases. La primera responde a una perspectiva cuantitativa utilizando la encuesta como técnica para recopilar datos, y segunda se realizó a través entrevista semiestructurada desde una aproximación cualitativa. El procesamiento de los datos se llevó a cabo mediante el programa SPSS, en la primera fase, y NVIVO en la segunda. Los hallazgos de la investigación muestran diferencias importantes en la recepción y hábitos de los contenidos televisivos en función de diversos factores como son, entre otros, la propiedad de la tecnología y dispositivos de visionado, los patrones de observación individual y conjunta y las multitarea realizadas durante la recepción.
The economic gap between urban and rural group has long existed in China. Traditionally, it is believed that urban children have more media devices and can access more media resources. But the phenomenon has changed since the “new” media era. Besides, with China’s urbanization, a special group of workers emerged, the migrate workers. This group of people are usually less well educated, and do not hold a city ‘Hukou’ (registered residence). Therefore, their children cannot enter school in urban areas, and so have to leave them in hometowns and these children are taken care of by their parents and relatives. These special children are called Rural Left-behind (RLB) Children. Moreover, China is a country of diverse ethnic minorities, Han nationality (Han people/Han) is the majority, and it has other fifty-five ethnic groups. There are 38 children’s television channels in China, but only the signal of CCTV-14 can cover the whole country. Chongqing has its own ground children’s television channel. In Chongqing area, people can watch another four children’s television channels on live TV. In this study, the author chose Chongqing city as a research location, since Chongqing city had 6.7% of the ethnic minority population in 2015, Tujia and Miao are the two main ethnic groups; the other reason was that Chongqing has abundant of RLB Children. The author explored the differences in television viewing habits among urban and rural children, ordinary rural (OR) and RLB children, and different ethnic groups children (Han & Tujia, Tujia &Miao, and Miao & Han). This research included two phases, Phase 1 was quantitative which used a questionnaire to collect data, and Phase 2 was qualitative which adopted a semi-structured interview to obtain information. In Phase 1, SPSS has been adopted to analysis data. Phase 2 adopted NVIVO for processing data. The finding indicates that urban and rural, OR and RLB children, Han, Tujia and Miao children have differences in various aspects, such as media ownership, television viewing devices, co-viewing pattern, TV multitasking, etc.

Abstract:
The availability to stream movies and series online has increased immensely throughout this decade, being reliant on freeing up time during your day to be able to watch your favorite tv-show has become less necessary due to the fact that you’re able to stream it whenever you want or can, once it’s been released. Reality television has been a big part of the tv tabloid for almost two decades now and it had it’s peak in audience during the years 2009-2012 and has been reportedly decreasing the following years. There has been little to none research regarding reality tv’s progression and audience recently, which has made us curious as to its current state. This article aims to research whether or not the interest in watching romantically themed reality tv has had a continued decline these recent years due to its lack of content variation and if its audience has gradually gone over to streaming it online rather than watching it on tv. We have studied three different reality shows views online and on television per episode during the years of 2015-2018. This way, we could add the views online and on television together to see if the view count in total has increased or decreased each year, as well as being able to compare the difference in views online versus views on television each year to see if the quota who streams has increased. Our hypotheses were met with matching results from our rese

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the association between parenting stress and child body mass index (BMI). Behaviours known to increase childhood obesity risk were also examined in relation to parent stress: poor eating habits, increased television viewing, decreased physical activity and poor sleep habits. Cross-sectional, baseline data were collected from 110 parent-child dyads participating in a family-based obesity prevention intervention. The majority of participants identified as Hispanic/Latino and belonged to low-income households. Parents scored an average of 28.4 +/- 10.7 on the PSI-3-SF, classifying 20% as high stress. Using the World Health Organization (WHO) growth charts, 48% of children were categorized as overweight or obese. Parenting stress was not found to be associated with child weight status in this study. Parenting stress was, however, significantly associated with unhealthful behaviours that are associated with increased obesity risk. In comparison to children with unstressed parents, the children of highly stressed parents were less likely to meet the recommendation of 60 minutes spent in active play per day on weekdays. Highly stressed parents also were less likely to limit the amount of television their child viewed. While it is important to target activity and television behaviours among young children, our results suggest that interventions may also need to address parental stress as a possible underlying factor associated with unhealthful behaviours among young children.

Abstract:
The first two seasons of the television series Star Trek: Discovery, the newest instalment in the long-running and influential Star Trek franchise, received media and academic attention from the moment they arrived on screen. Discovery makes several key changes to Star Trek’s well-known narrative formulae, particularly the use of more serialized storytelling, appealing to audiences’ changed viewing habits in the streaming age – and yet the storylines, in their topical nature and the broad range of socio-political issues they engage with, continue in the political vein of the franchise’s megatext. This volume brings together eighteen essays and one interview about the series, with contributions from a variety of disciplines including cultural studies, literary studies, media studies, fandom studies, history and political science. They explore representations of gender, sexuality and race, as well as topics such as shifts in storytelling and depictions of diplomacy. Examining Discovery alongside older entries into the Star Trek canon and tracing emerging continuities and changes, this volume will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in Star Trek and science fiction in the franchise era.

Abstract:
Screen Stories: Emotion and the Ethics of Engagement provides an account of the rhetorical and cultural power of storytelling on screens and develops an ethics of engagement that provides tools for the critic to respond to that power. Screen Stories first provides a theory of the persuasive influence of such “screen stories,” paying particular attention to the role of emotion. The book argues that the emotions a screen story elicits are key to its potential influence, functioning as an incentive for spectators to “cooperate,” helping to facilitate transfer of beliefs from text to world, and spurring the cultivation of habits of thought and response. Screen Stories then argues for an ethics of engagement that considers the particular sorts of experiences screen stories offer and is open to their benefits as well as their drawbacks. In doing so, an ethics of engagement rejects what the book calls “estrangement theory,” which in its extreme forms focuses almost solely on critique, condemns mainstream films and television, and distrusts the role of emotion and immersion in the experience of screen stories. The book goes on to discuss the sort of ethical experience screen stories offer, examining the implications of character engagement, narrative closure (as an element of structure), and narrative scenarios and the characteristic emotions they elicit. Plantinga argues that an ethics of engagement is more relevant to the viewing of screen stories today, and thus has the potential to revive and enliven the discussion of ethics of storytelling on screens.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the programme genres in public service broadcasting. Genres that have been traditionally associated with public service broadcasting — such as education, natural history, science, arts, current affairs, children's and religion — have been in steady decline for over a decade. A shift to on-demand viewing in recent years has further segmented viewing habits. Although the vast majority of viewing continues to be live, some genres are increasingly viewed on catch-up services. Big entertainment shows and sports events often account for the highest proportion of live viewing, compared to drama series, which have the highest proportion of on-demand viewing. These trends point to the increasing complexity of maintaining public service mixed genre provision given an increasing reliance on ‘big data’, consumer preferences, and taste algorithms that may limit the diversity and visibility of a broad range of genres.

This chapter considers public service content outside of television. In recent years, there has been a major shift in viewing habits, with more and more people watching material on demand, not just through catch-up services such as the BBC iPlayer but also online. Greater broadband speeds have facilitated the viewing of audiovisual material through an internet connection, and the technical and financial barriers to making such content have fallen. Every newspaper, advertiser, campaigning group, agency, corporation, and brand is now in the content creation game. So too are the UK's many and diverse cultural institutions, ranging from national organisations established in statute to diverse local, regional, and charitable establishments; they could prove to be key contributors to a more plural, diverse and dynamic public service media landscape in the future.

Abstract:
A growing demand for engaging content, coupled with the availability of cheap data, an increasing footprint of 4g services and facilities like mobile payment motivated several over the top (OTT) service providers like YouTube, Hotstar, Amazon Prime and Netflix among several others to venture into the Indian streaming space. Netflix saw this as an opportunity to virtually tap into the Indian Television market and leverage the shift in the content consumption pattern among young consumers, by empowering them to watch content of their choice at their time and on their preferred connected device. The easy access of Internet technology helped Netflix overcome the censorship issues, break stereotypes by allowing creators and marketers to dive deep into untapped cultural and social sensitivities, hit pain points thereby creating room for unique content. This chapter aims at exploring how Netflix is creating a differentiating factor with its new content marketing strategy in India and remodeling the viewing habits thus molding the Indian stereotypes.

Abstract:
Television was a brilliant invention because it is capable of transporting us anywhere (Perera, 2002). Since its first production, in 1928, it never stopped spreading. In fact, while the Internet European penetration rate rounds 40-60% the TV penetration rate rounds 95-99% (Bates, 2003), which means that almost every home has, at least, one TV set. However, the TV paradigm which has traditionally occupied the largest share of consumer leisure time is now changing. In fact, and as a result of the so-called “digital revolution,” TV is now undergoing a process of technological evolution. The traditional TV sets and programs (which are typically passive programs) are being replaced by digital TV sets, which allow a long list of new interactive services and programs, concretely, interactive television (iTV). There is no doubt that iTV, which can be defined as a TV system that allows the viewer to interact with an application that is simultaneously delivered, via a digital network, in addition with the traditional TV signal (Perera, 2002) will replace the traditional TV viewing habits. In spite of being a recent phenomenon in terms of use, in the last 20 years, many research groups have worked in iTV development. Their progress over time is going to be addressed in the next section. However, due to the enormous quantity of telecommunications or cable trials launched it was impossible to present them all. Thus, only the more significant are referred.

Abstract:
There is no doubt that interactive TV (iTV), which may be defined as a TV system that allows the viewer to interact with an application that is delivered simultaneously, via a digital network, in addition to the traditional TV signal (Perera, 2002), will replace traditional passive TV viewing habits. In fact, this technology enables a wide range of new interactive services, applications, and features that are becoming increasingly successful. In regard to interactive services, we have the traditional iTV service (which implies interacting with an application that is simultaneously broadcasted along with the TV program), the electronic program guide (EPG) which allows the management of the enormous amount of available channels/programs and the easy selection of them based on different criteria (title, author, date, time, genre, etc.), and Internet services which include e-mail, chat, WWW, shopping, banking, and so forth. As far as iTV applications are concerned, and following Livaditi, Vassilopoulou, Lougos, and Chorianopoulos (2003), it is possible to identify four basic categories of content: entertainment (content associated with films, series, and quizzes); information (content associated with news of all kind); transactions (content used to order/purchase goods), and communication (content that involve or require the exchange of messages). The success of iTV has mostly been due to the possibility of using different kinds of services, applications, and features through a unique and trustable device such as TV. Considering that European Internet penetration rates of around 40-60% and TV penetration rates of around 95-99% (Bates, 2003), we may anticipate a bright future for this new technology. However, as happens with any recent and emergent area, in spite all the advantages, there are many difficulties to overcome and research to be carried out. The main goal of this article is to bring together in one single source the most important research opportunities associated with iTV and, in some cases, present specific suggestions for future developments. For the purpose of this article, it is assumed that the person who interacts with an iTV system may be considered as a viewer (when viewing a traditional TV program and from a mass communication perspective) but also a User (when using the iTV application and from a Human Computer Interface - HCI - perspective). Thus, henceforth those who interact with iTV will be designated as Viewers/Users (V/Us).
