The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which adolescents classified as light, moderate, or heavy television viewers differ regarding alcohol use. The extent to which demographic variables mediate the television-alcohol association also was investigated. A total of 394 high school males completed a written questionnaire to assess television and drinking practices. As hypothesized, heavy viewers consumed alcohol significantly more often than did light and moderate viewers, especially the former, particularly when demographic variables were controlled simultaneously. Television as a powerful and pervasive influence on youth, containing many undesirable health messages, is discussed.
本研究的目的是确定被归类为轻度、中度或重度电视观众的青少年在饮酒方面的差异程度。还调查了人口统计学变量在电视与酒精关联中所起的中介作用程度。共有394名高中男生填写了一份书面问卷，以评估他们看电视和饮酒的习惯。正如所假设的那样，重度电视观众饮酒的频率明显高于轻度和中度电视观众，尤其是前者，特别是在同时控制人口统计学变量的情况下。文中讨论了电视对青少年具有强大且普遍的影响，其中包含许多不良健康信息。
