A Study On The Impact Of Media Exposure On Parent-child Relationship Among Rural Left-behind Childre

Rural left-behind children are a special group generated under the background of social,political,and economic reform in China.This study focuses on the impact of media tension on the parent-child relationship of rural left-behind children from an interdisciplinary perspective.In order to achieve the purpose of in-depth research,this study first collected quantitative data on media exposure and parent-child relationships among rural left-behind children through questionnaires,and then 11 representative left-behind children were selected for in-depth interviews to obtain qualitative research data.The study found that demographic characteristics and family characteristics such as whether they are only children,achievement rankings,and family conditions affect the parent-child relationship of rural left-behind children.The dimensions of media contact intensity such as contact duration and frequency,main contact methods in media contact behavior,and digital feedback have a significant positive impact on parent-child relationship.Based on the analysis of questionnaire data and Joshua Merowitz’s framework of media situational theory,the deep connotation of parent-child relationship influenced by media exposure among rural left behind children is analyzed in three aspect : digitalization of family field,equalization of parent-child roles,and regionalization of parent-child interaction.Finally,from the perspective of technical criticism,the parent-child relationship of rural left behind children under media exposure is facing the dilemma of online communication fatigue,offline interaction being squeezed,and generation gap being difficult to bridge.Therefore,improvement strategies are proposed : reducing communication barriers and adjusting regulatory standards;Avoid media dependence and prioritize offline communication;Deepen content feedback and promote mutual recognition.
