Television is one of the most commonly viewed forms of media by children throughout the world. Excessive television viewing can influence the quality of children's relationships and interactions with their parents. We examined the emotional availability (EA) of children toward their parents by assessing child responsiveness and child involvement, using a cross-sectional and longitudinal design. We employed a large and representative community sample of Norwegian 4-year-olds (n = 995) who were followed up at 6 years old (n = 795). The results illustrate that, when viewing excessive amounts of television, children are less likely to be involved with their parents in ordinary toy-play. We argue in favor of the displacement hypothesis, stating that time-demanding technologies are negatively related to the quality of parent-child relationships because spending more time watching television will leave less time for developing nurturing social relationships.
电视是全球儿童最常观看的媒体形式之一。过度看电视会影响儿童与父母关系及互动的质量。我们采用横断面和纵向设计，通过评估儿童反应性和儿童参与度，来考察儿童对父母的情感可及性（EA）。我们选取了挪威4岁儿童的一个大型且具代表性的社区样本（n = 995），并在他们6岁时进行随访（n = 795）。结果表明，当观看大量电视节目时，儿童不太可能在日常玩玩具时与父母互动。我们支持替代假说，即耗时的技术与亲子关系质量呈负相关，因为花更多时间看电视会减少用于发展滋养性社会关系的时间。
