An Investigation of the Television Viewing Habits of Students in Grades Three through Eight in Vermillion, South Dakota.
Wood, Robert W.; Eicher, Charles E.
A sample of 422 students from grades three through eight in Vermillion, South Dakota, schools completed a questionnaire about their television-viewing habits, including a day-by-day record of the amount of television viewed over a two-week period. Analysis of results indicated that the school population had an average of two television sets per household; that a majority of the respondents did not have a television set in their own rooms; that students watched television mainly for entertainment; that "Starsky and Hutch" received the highest mean rank of the favorite television programs for grades three through eight; that the majority watched television commercials; and that respondents viewed more television on weekend days than on weekdays. Extensive tables of data are included in the report; the questionnaire is included as an appendix. (AA)
