Study Examines Media Habits Of Children 6-11
More Than Half of Respondents Have a TV in Their Room; Most are Happy Being Their Age
A new study from Mediamark examines the habits and media usage of American children ages 6-11. Among other things, children were asked about the way they consume music and what items they use to listen.
Among the findings:
* Gaming is the top online activity.
* CD players outnumber MP3 players for music listening
* 70% want to make a lot of money when they are older.
* When asked what they do when TV commercials come on, nearly 60% of respondents say they watch them.
The children ranked a car radio (as in their parents' car) far and away as the most common source of music in their lives, with 74 percent saying they listen through one. A CD player came in second, with 62.8 percent of respondents, followed by a portable CD player (48.4 percent), stereo (39.5 percent) and the computer with 25.5. percent. Portable MP3 players only received 4.2 percent of the vote, followed by 4.1 percent for simply "MP3 player."
When asked what items they own in their room, 59.8 percent of children surveyed said they have a CD player, with 28.6 percent saying they have a stereo. The complete study can be found here.
