The current pilot study is the first experiment to examine whether parents are able to diminish the adverse influences of smoking and drinking depicted in movies through co-viewing.
For this study, 99 adolescents (M = 12.82 years old; SD = .95; 38.8% boys) watched the 3D version of Titanic in the cinema. Through randomization, adolescents were invited to come with either a parent or a friend. After watching the movie, adolescents filled out a questionnaire that assessed their susceptibility for smoking and drinking and their social images concerning these behaviors.
The findings revealed that adolescents who co-viewed the movie with their parents, compared to with their friends, were at the same or an even higher risk for future smoking or drinking after watching the movie. The findings also indicated that only a few parents communicated about smoking and drinking while watching the movie.
Simply co-viewing might not be an effective way for parents to blunt the effect of smoking and drinking in movies. In addition to ensuring more caution when advising parents to simply co-view movies, the present findings encourage additional research on the impact of instructive mediation strategies.
当前的这项初步研究是首个检验父母是否能够通过共同观看电影来减少电影中描绘的吸烟和饮酒不良影响的实验。
在本研究中，99名青少年（平均年龄M = 12.82岁；标准差SD = 0.95；38.8%为男孩）在电影院观看了3D版《泰坦尼克号》。通过随机分组，邀请青少年要么与父母要么与朋友一同前来观看。看完电影后，青少年填写了一份问卷，评估他们对吸烟和饮酒的易感性以及他们对这些行为的社会形象认知。
研究结果显示，与和朋友一起观看电影的青少年相比，与父母一起观看电影的青少年在看完电影后未来吸烟或饮酒的风险相同甚至更高。研究结果还表明，只有少数父母在观看电影时谈论了吸烟和饮酒的问题。
仅仅共同观看电影可能不是父母削弱电影中吸烟和饮酒影响的有效方式。除了在建议父母仅仅共同观看电影时要更加谨慎之外，本研究结果还鼓励对指导性调解策略的影响进行更多研究。
