Psychological Media Competence of Parents of Primary School Children

The paper features sychological media competence of parents on the basis of ideas about psychological media competence as a meso- level phenomenon, differing complex composition. The psychological  media competence of parents is considered in the structure of their  psychological competence, including cognitive, practical, and  reflexive components. The cognitive component includes knowledge  that allows one to take part in the media communication and analyze  the influence of media texts on the psyche of children. The  reflexive component is the awareness of internal changes after  interacting with media. The practical component is represented by  the ability to realize competence in interaction with children. The  procedure for diagnosing these components was developed based on the research method of “Psychological media competence of parents  of primary school pupils”. The first part was represented by  ituations  describing behavior and actions of primary school pupils in  media sphere and identifying how parents react to them. The second part included watching an animated film, answering questions that  reveal how parents understood the effect of the cartoon on children’s emotional state and behavior, and writing a letter to the main  character of the cartoon on behalf of their children. The analysis of  the psychological media competence study involved a method of  expert assessments. The results indicate a certain use of  constructive ways of reaction to situations, which are related to  information search via internet and watching destructive video. The  parents proved to underestimate effect of various media on children  and demonstrated problems in assessing and meaningful discussion of the media texts with children.
