Children's Media Barometer 2012

The barometer was collected as part of a research project funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland and it aimed to investigate children's media use and their relationship with the media in the year 2012. In the survey, media include television, the Internet, digital games, mobile phone, the radio and music, and print media. The target population of the survey were pupils on the fourth and sixth grades. The questionnaire for sixth graders was somewhat longer and more detailed than the one for fourth graders. First, media devices in the respondents' home were charted as well as the frequency of watching television, videos or other recorded programmes and the types of programmes and videos watched. With regard to digital games (video games, including mobile games), the respondents were asked how often they played, who they played with, what kind of games they played, and what their favourite game was. Internet use was examined with questions about the frequency of use, activities and favourite type of content online (e.g. video clips, social media, email), favourite website, whether the respondents had an email address, social media profile, website or blog as well as what their opinions on some statements about Internet use were (e.g. "I think I'm a skilled Internet user", "My parents know what I do on the Internet"). Reading habits were investigated with questions about the frequency and types of books and magazines read. Frequency of listening to radio programmes and music was surveyed. The respondents were asked whether they owned a mobile phone, whether it had an Internet connection, and what they used the mobile phone for. Finally, the respondents were asked questions charting the use of all media, such as how often they browsed advertisements for products or spent money online, how interested they thought parents or other adults at home were in hearing about their favourite media content, which media they talked about and used together with parents, and whether they had published their own content online. Sixth graders were further asked whether they had used media to have a say in an issue, how critical they were towards different media (e.g. "Reality TV shows do not have a script and they show things as they really happen"), whether there were discussions or arguments about media use or media content at home, and whether they had followed the previous presidential elections on different media and discussed the elections with different people. Background variables included the respondent's grade level, gender, age, and major region of residence as well as whether they had a room of their own at home.

本媒体晴雨调查数据集采集自芬兰教育与文化部（Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland）资助的一项研究项目，该项目于2012年开展，旨在调研儿童的媒体使用行为及其与媒体的互动关系。本次调研涵盖的媒体类型包括电视、互联网、数字游戏、移动电话、广播与音乐，以及印刷媒体。本次调研的目标群体为小学四年级与六年级学生。六年级学生所用的调查问卷相较于四年级学生的版本，篇幅更长、内容也更为详尽。首先，调研记录了受访者家庭中的媒体设备配置情况，同时统计了受访者观看电视、视频或其他录制节目的频率，以及所观看的节目与视频类型。针对数字游戏（Digital Games，含移动游戏），调研设置了相关问题，询问受访者的游戏频率、游戏玩伴、游戏类型以及最喜爱的游戏。针对互联网使用情况，调研通过以下问题展开：使用频率、线上活动类型与最喜爱的线上内容类别（如视频片段、社交媒体（Social Media）、电子邮件（Email））、最常使用的网站，受访者是否拥有电子邮箱、社交媒体账号、个人网站或博客，以及对若干互联网使用相关表述的看法（例如"我认为自己是熟练的互联网使用者""我的父母了解我在互联网上的行为"）。阅读习惯调研则通过询问受访者的读书与读刊频率、阅读类型来开展。广播节目与音乐的收听频率同样纳入调研统计范畴。调研还询问了受访者是否拥有移动电话、该设备是否支持联网，以及移动电话的使用用途。最后，调研设置了涵盖全类媒体使用的相关问题，例如浏览商品广告或线上消费的频率、认为家中父母或其他成人对了解其喜爱的媒体内容的感兴趣程度、与父母一同讨论并使用的媒体类型，以及是否曾在网上发布过个人内容。针对六年级学生，调研额外设置了以下问题：是否曾借助媒体就某一议题发表意见、对各类媒体的批判性态度（例如"真人秀没有剧本，如实展现事件原貌"）、家中是否存在关于媒体使用或媒体内容的讨论与争执，以及是否曾通过各类媒体关注此前的总统选举并与他人就此展开讨论。调研的背景变量包括受访者的年级、性别、年龄、主要居住区域，以及是否在家中拥有独立房间。
