Family Literacy Television Viewing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Parenting Styles Working Hours National Surveys Parent Attitudes Structural Equation Models Race Ethnicity Socioeconomic Status Family Structure Autism Emotional Disturbances Gender Differences Libraries Correlation Symptoms (Individual Disorders) Educational Attainment Statistical Analysis Factors related to parent ratings of young children's (mean age = 3.72, range = 3-6) fidgeting and reports of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were examined in a nationally representative sample of US families via the National Household Education Surveys. In structural equation models, the number of television hours viewed daily was associated with more fidgeting (a sign of hyperactivity), which, in turn, was related to ADHD, when controlling for race/ethnicity, SES, family structure, autism, emotional disturbance and gender. The home literacy environment (shared reading, children's books and library visits) was negatively associated with both fidgeting and hours of television. Home literacy was indirectly negatively related with ADHD via fidgeting. Boys and children with autism fidgeted more frequently, whereas children from two-parent families were less likely to have ADHD. Overworked parents allowed more television viewing than other parents. The implications for future studies involving television viewing, home literacy, attention and hyperactivity are discussed. |
