  • Television Presents Children with Numerous Options When It Comes to Their Diet
    Journal of the Northwest Communication Association Influence of Parental Control of Television Viewing on Children’s Attitudes and Behaviors of Food Annie M . Ochsenhirt Palo Alto, California Sei-Hill Kim Auburn University Speculation abounds concerning the relationship of watching television and dietary habits among school children, and researchers have found sparse evidence to draw direct linkages between viewing television and poor eating habits. This study attempts to fill some gaps in the research by examining how parental controls, family rules and attention to commercials influence poor eating and misconceptions about healthy foods among children. After surveying 247 children from ages 10 to 14, the researchers found that amount of TV viewing was associated with unhealthy food choices. While much has been written about the efficacy of family rules that restrict viewing, the researchers found that parental controls about TV were only marginally influential on children’s food attitudes and behaviors. KEY TERMS : ADVERTISING , MEDIA EFFECTS , NUTRITION , TELEVISION Television presents children with numerous options when it comes to their diet. The food industry spends an estimated $33 billion each year Annie M. Ochsenhirt is a graduate of Communication Studies at Saint Mary’s College. She is currently in visual merchandising and sales at Anthropologie, a division of Urban Outfitters, Inc., in Palo Alto, California. The paper is an extension of her comprehensive research conducted under the supervision of Professor Kim. Sei-Hill Kim (Ph.D., Cornell University) is an associate professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at Auburn University.

  • Examining Parent Versus Child Reviews of Parental Control Apps on Google Play
    Examining Parent versus Child Reviews of Parental Control Apps on Google Play Turki Alelyani1, Arup Kumar Ghosh2, Larry Moralez2, Shion Guha3, Pamela Wisniewski2 1 Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030, USA [email protected] 2 University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816, USA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 3 Marquette University Milwaukee, WI 53233, USA [email protected] Abstract. Mobile devices have become a ubiquitous means for teens and younger children to access the internet and social media. Such pervasive access affords many benefits but also exposes children to potential online risks, including cyberbullying, exposure to explicit content, and sexual solicitations. Parents who are concerned about their children’s online safety may use parental control apps to monitor, manage, and curate their children’s online access and mobile activities. This creates tension between the privacy rights and interests of children versus the legal, emotional, and moral imperatives of parents seeking to protect their children from online risks. To better understand the unique perspectives of parents and children, we conducted an analysis of 29,272 reviews of 52 different parental control apps from the Google Play store. We found that reviews written by parents differed statistically from those written by children such that it is possible to computationally automate the process of differentiating between them. Furthermore, latent themes emerged from the reviews that revealed the complexities and tensions in parent-child relationships as mediated by parental control app use. Natural Language Processing (NLP) revealed that the underlying themes within the reviews went beyond a description of the app, its features or performance and more towards an expression of the relationship between parents and teens as mediated through parental control apps.
